Bengals

Bengals DT Jonathan Allen understands that he can’t play an exorbitant number of snaps and said he needs to limit himself to stay fresh.

“Looking at it from the big picture, it’s obvious it’s better not to play that many snaps,” Allen said, via the team’s website. “So me and the trainers, me and the coaches, we just have a great understanding. Sometimes, I get emotional in the heat of the moment and I don’t want to come out. But at the end of the day, I get paid to do a job and they trust me and I trust them. It has to be a give and take relationship.”

Allen added what snap count percentage he believes would be good for him to be healthy and productive.

“I would say anywhere between 50 to 80 percent,” Allen said. “I know that’s kind of a wide range. But sometimes a defense can’t play a whole bunch in the first half and then they play more late in the game. But 800 snaps are too much.”

Bengals QB Joe Burrow talked about the evolution of the team’s offense and how they can be more effective under center to help out the running game.
