is allen the guy that miami released to make room for harris? if so, us claiming a guy who was cut because they signed someone we didn't even go after is not all that inspiring

Yep, that's the one. He was cut for a 35 yr old coming off major knee surgery......

I would've rather taken the gamble with Harris than Allen, but hey, at least they are trying "something"......right?

Allen was a first round draft, 16th pick in 2006, by a previous coaching regime and was starting two weeks ago, started first seven games this year, somehow got in the dog house, apparently for inconsistency.

he has three interceptions this year , so must have some skills. Was good on special teams as well.

6;1", 200 pounds, spot starter before this year when he apparently won starting job during training camp. 27years old, healthy.

sounds better than Harris to me. guess we will see.

Apparently Barber injured his knee in practice Tuesday, had micro surgery yesterday, on IR today, or something like that.

Wonder if any other moves are coming?

I dont care who he is just plug him in for KJ. Maybe he'll be this year's Bernie Pollard.
