2380894, cats are going too hard on allen right now Posted by Awburn, Wed Oct-22-14 10:21 AM
The other front office folks been gone less than a year.
in his one offseason at the helm, he signed a LG and drafted an OT and OG in the second and 3rd rounds. The team knows the line sucks and did something about it. There is more work to be done, sure, but given how bad the talent is, its gonna take time to sort this out.
Also the defense was always ignored under shanny so Allen drafted orakpo's potential replacement (which seems super smart right now) and a promising mid round guy in breeland. Clark and merriweather were busts, but based on year 1, i dont see Allen ignoring the secondary and further improving the OL in year two.
The key is for danny to let this team be terrible enough for 2-3 years that allen and gruden can stockpile assets in the early rounds that fit the system and contribute. Snyder NEVER lets this happen, so i am not optimistic.
