Gene Smith was a former NFL scout, too, do you trust his assessments?

Just because you know someone, you might be able to get your foot in the door. If you stink out loud at the job though, you end up in the blogosphere. Remind me who the Jest have ever hit on?

You're getting too attached and overly emotional about an assessment I see. 

Look, just pointing out the obvious when it came to Travon Walker as a rookie. His assessment, for better or worse, was pretty spot on about him coming out of college. Better run defender, raw pass rusher, plays better with his hands in the dirt instead of upright. 

He was looking at maximizing his potential there already coming out of college by suggesting he should have been a 4 - 3 DT. That's it. No need to dig up the past, or say "Well he's missed 1,000 times on X, Y & Z". It's a dumb argument or point to throw out there. 

People play the lottery everyday and never hit. People sometimes get lucky and win it multiple times. [BLEEP] happens. No need to get your panties in a bunch, Mikey. 

But, for the record? Not sure when that guy was a scout for the Jets. Matter of fact, that's the first time I ever heard of him or seen an article written by him. I don't follow him. I caught that article in a tweet that he posted in regards to Tony Pauline's remarks on Nolan Smith. 

Happy Hump Day!

not sure where that came from, just saying that 'former scout' and his previous track record of evaluation lend me no credence to trust his evaluation skills any more than I do OLM, CJB, Bullseye, snowy's Dad, or any other voice.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to throw shade at a guy who missed BADLY in his attempt to authoritatively dump on our guy. I guess I could have pulled a Gabbert and just left it at "former Jest scout who?" and called it a day.

Kinda funny saying this isn't a place for digging up the past, that's kinda our gig round these parts

People acting like they weren’t mad when Allen kept getting burnt in mid deep coverage down the field. Stop faking. Lol I get it, he needs to cover sometimes to keep them honest.

The problem with you and others spewing this nonsense, is that it didn't actually happen.

The man took between 900-1000 snaps on defense. 

He allowed 9 completions, and maybe 4 or 5 of those were as you are describing. 
That's like, 0.5% of his snaps, man. 

You got mad at that??? 
That's on you, pal. Not Josh Allen.

@That's nine completions too many my man@

For the posters saying Josh Allen shouldn’t be in coverage. It’s because we are sending something backside or need a little extra help on a drive. In a situation like that, the defense is basically asking him to give us what you can because they are disguising something or bringing an exotic scheme.

Allen ain’t going to morph into Deion Sanders. Allen’s coverage is just as good as any other DE or 3/4 OLB in the league.

The same argument could be made when a CB is called to blitz.

People seem to forget in a base 3-4 formation, typically you have 3 down linemen, and 2 outside LBers and if you're rushing 4, one of those outside LBers drops into coverage. Maybe it's because the league is so pass happy that most teams sit in Nickel for most of the game.
