People often assume because you don’t like a move a team makes with a player that “you must have a bias against said player.” Such was the case when I wrote that I wasn’t crazy about the Steelers bringing veteran Will Allen back this past winter.
Allen’s a great guy from what I’ve been told. Works hard, active in the community and does the things you want to see from a veteran player. My argument however was that I was just ready to begin the youth movement.
Yes, I concede it’s nice to have those experienced vets in the secondary but Allen, who is entering his 12th season, isn’t exactly going to scare anyone from his safety position with his speed or ball-hawking skills.
