Allen replaced Dwayne Haskins as the starting quarterback recently. In almost 2 quarters Sunday, Allen finished 9 of 13 passes for 74 lawns and ran for one goal.
” He delivered a great ball for the many part,” Rivera said. “He managed well. Well see how things go if hes healthy.”
Allen also scrambled for a 7-yard touchdown run; his movement adds a different aspect to Washingtons offense. Since of what it showed, that play stood out to Rivera.
” He saw guy coverage, he saw the defenders had their backs turned and he knew he had the opportunity to tuck the ball and run,” Rivera said. “That was an excellent choice on his part.”
Smith played for the first time given that breaking his fibula and tibia in November 2018. He finished 9 of 17 passes for 37 yards and was sacked 6 times. He understands the circumstance.
” He played terrific. He played definitive, quick,” Smith said of Allen. “I was bummed for him, I was excited for his opportunity. Hes a great kid, works really difficult and certainly this runs out our control, so whatever coach decides he chooses. Thats his task. Whatever this team requires me to do, Ill do.”
The Washington Football Team will not make another change at quarterback today. That is, as long as Kyle Allen is healthy.
” Hes our starter,” Washington coach Ron Rivera said.
Rivera had stated this after Sundays 30-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and reiterated it Monday, first in a meeting with Allen and after that on a Zoom session with press reporters. Washington plays at the New York Giants on Sunday.
Allen was knocked from Washingtons loss to the Rams due to an arm injury suffered late in the 2nd quarter. He was also inspected for a concussion. Supplied his arm feels fine throughout the week, hell play vs. the Giants.
