Hoping we draft Jason Allen? Physical Issues


Recommended Posts

According to Robinson on Yahoo today:

Jason Allen, S/CB, Tennessee – He's fluid and fast, but his future still seems to be at safety. His ballistic numbers at the combine put to rest the short-term fears about his surgically repaired hip. Scouts say: His injured hip has tested out with about 85 percent of the strength of his healthy one, and it could be an issue as his career progresses.

That 85% worries me - hips have a tendency to degenerate about as fast as Bengalzone Message Threads.

Good info THANKS.

I wonder whether or not Jason Allen's hip is had time to recover its full strength. If the hip is NOT regaining its strength, then I too would worry. I'm still hopeful that we are only glimpsing at a player who is on his way back and hasn't fully recovered yet.

His workout numbers are even more impressive when we consider his hip is not at full strength.

I got the following from another forum. I don't have access to ESPN Insider, so I can't confirm the quote, but if it's true then it's troubling . . .

"Rather than bolting to the NFL a year early, Tennessee DB Jason Allen returned to school for his senior season in 2005 hoping to solidify a spot in the top half of the first round of this year's draft. A tweener cornerback/free safety prospect, Allen was enjoying a successful season at cornerback before suffering a season-ending dislocated hip in Game 5 versus Georgia.

As expected, his stock immediately plummeted because of concerns about his durability. Allen was able to ease some of those concerns when he showed up healthy at the scouting combine and ran both his 40-yard dash attempts in the low 4.4-second range. At that point, NFL teams reportedly were viewing him as a first-round prospect again.

However, Allen has since failed at least two physicals administered privately by NFL teams. With that news spreading like wildfire, Allen's stock is declining again, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the 6-foot-1, 209-pound defensive back slip to the middle of the second round -- or even beyond that point."

I heard that Mike Brown started this rumor -- to get Jason Allen with the second round pick :P:D:lol:

Go for it Mikee!!! :lol::cheers:B)

ITS a JOKE -- Mikee would not play that dirty.

I was getting more and more depressed and decided that a little humor was needed. :blush::blink:
