Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Buck Allen showed some power and speed in limited action this season and he certainly showed it against the Arizona Cardinals. With the 1-6 record, the Ravens should not only feature him more against the San Diego Chargers, Allen should see more time for the remainder of the season.
My colleague Chuck Mills believes younger players on the roster should have more playing time. I fully agree with that. And Allen is making the most of his time with the Ravens.
Starting running back Justin Forsett signed a three year deal worth 9 million with the Ravens this past offseason and even though Forsett is 30 years old, he doesn't have the wear and tear that other running backs his age have at that point as he bounced around from team to team over the course of his career and finally has stability with the Ravens.
