That type of thing takes a toll on guys physically. Could this be the year it bites him a little bit? I think so.

Cook is a good RB, though.
If they're smart, they get really heavy into ground and pound inside the 10 yard line.
Allen just never has had the ball placement to operate well in the gold zone. I don't believe he truly got a ton better in that regard - Dabol just worked around it. Ball placement has always been a weakness for him and it surfaces most in short areas where you have higher risk and lower reward.
Now put that in an enclosed space like G2G scenarios and your windows are all the smaller and the arm strength doesn't play up anymore.
They need to stop playing like I do in Madden when I'm trying to build up a young QBs stats. Just hand the damn ball off and finish your drives. You have a solid RB. Take the mileage of your QB (and stop asking him to do something he's not good at with the short area throws) and use the expendable legs/back of your RB.
