Buck Allen inactive again...

Think he'll start getting salty about that or just understand that it's part of the week to week strength weaknesses of the opponent game plan?

He was pretty vocal about it the first game, but they needed Dline dept to stop Buffalo's run. It's a numbers game, have to prove you deserve to be on the gameday roster and it won't get any easier when Dixon returns.

Don't know why you're "lol"ing. He may not be a star, and there may be Ravens RBs in front of him, but here are his 2015 rookie stats :

Not a Pro-Bowl candidate, but IMO no way a "bust"... Bc

well being benched for terrence west and forsett
when neither is better to me thats a bust.
i liked hi his rookie year and thought he would be the #2 this year.
but ravens are viewing him as a bust and benching him for the first 2 games of 2016

Not sure I've seen the term "bust" used a whole lot when talking about a 4th round pick.
I'm sure Buck isn't happy but he plays a position that has an enormous amount of talent on this team and is relatively easy to fill.
Sucks for him but West obviously has showed the team more than Buck.

:word

A 4th round bust? Some 4th rounders never see the field.

And being behind Forsett and West isn't a bad reflection on Buck's abilities at RB. It's a reflection of his ST abilities.

3rd stringers need to be ST guys and Buck doesn't have as much value there.

Hardly a bust.

They're gonna need him down the stretch. Numbers game.

His time will come, but he wouldn't have made a difference in this game. The holes weren't there. Allen is not the type of back that will produce well when the holes aren't there. Kenneth Dixon is going to be the guy.
