[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1027527, member: 7261"] I'll let -13 defend his own post, but for me the 2 backs are very different, but in some ways the same. JT is a lot faster for sure. I think he had the fastest 40 time for a RB at his combine. Something like a 4.39 and Allen is reported to run at around 4.4. I don't see Allen's "lack of speed" as a big issue, he makes up for it with what he can do at the LOS and yards after contact. They have completely different bodies. JT is a compact, muscular 5'10" 225lb firecracker. Whereas BA is a bruising 6'2" 245 lb keg of dynamite. However, both have very strong lower and upper bodies and can break tackles. JT is much more shifty and makes his hay hitting holes and avoiding tackles. Allen makes his hay running over defenders and bouncing off tackles. One area they both have been criticized about is ball control. Taylor lost 15 of 18 fumbles in 41 college games. Allen has only lost 5 of 9 fumbles in 35 games, but people have attached the "fumbles a lot" to him. In his 4 years at Indy, Taylor has lost 6 of 9 fumbles. Personally, I don't view that as an "issue", nor would I at this point for Allen. I actually think both were/are underrated, although Indy might have shocked some when they took JT early (#41) in the 2nd round. Has worked out nicely for them. Allen played behind a pretty crappy WI. offensive line this year and was still very productive when healthy. I would love to see him in Green and Gold. [/QUOTE]
