Allen got a big opportunity to show what he could do Thursday and he impressed.
He completed a number of passes down the field, including a deep post to Xavier Gipson on a play where Nic Jones was bearing down on him on a corner blitz. During 7-on-7's, Allen had the pass of the day, placing the ball perfectly to Isaiah Hodgins between two defenders.

Judging by how well he handled his job Saturday, @[Demarcus Robinson](406) (three catches, 44 yards) might prove to be a crucial pickup. @[Russell Gage](687) (three catches for 25 yards, including a spectacular diving grab) brings experience to the corps, and I'm intrigued by what @[Isaiah Hodgins](725) (two catches, 21 yards) could do for this group provided he makes the team. I write all of this to caution against buying into what the doubters are selling; if Brock Purdy is given time to throw, I think the 49ers will be just fine.
