"I never really had the mobility he does so I kind of had to rely on timing and my arm, so that's kind of a big difference between us," Allen's backup, Matt Barkley, said to me in the locker room on Wednesday. "But regardless, in the NFL -- compared to college or any other level -- timing is of the utmost importance, whether that's timing of knowing when to scramble, when things break down, or timing knowing when to hit it when (the play isn't) there to get to your next reads. That's huge. As a quarterback room, we've tried to make strides in just making sure timing is right and on par with everyone else on the offense."
