But hopefully he continues to try to use Allen down there like he used Drew Brees. That won't work and will minimize his effectiveness.

I think that's basically what they started doing after they fired their first OC last season. Allen rushed for 15 TDs in 2023, up 8 rushing TDs from the previous season, 6 more than in 2021. Yeah, after checking out PFR, Allen was averaging about 8 rushing TDs/season, then last season he nearly doubled that number.
They're letting Josh off the leash and letting him run whenever he feels like it.
