From the article

Allen looked better on Saturday than his 3.0 yards/attempt rushing average would seem to indicate... he was getting hit in the backfield and doing a great job of gaining positive yardage, despite getting little help from his blockers.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Allen excels at creating yards after contact despite poor blocking; could be thunder back.

Allen looked better in Week 2 than his 3.0 yards/attempt average indicates; he averaged -0.9 yards before contact on 10 rushing attempts, meaning he was getting hit in the backfield but creating positive yardage through tackle-breaking and finding narrow lanes. The source projects he can be the thunder to pair with Bill's lightning if the starting offensive line provides better blocking.
