I keep wanting Allen to become a star, but it's not happening. Maybe I need to lower my expectations.

In fairness, I think his use limits his ability to make plays. He's often in 2-DL fronts, and you're not going to make a lot of plays when you're outnumbered 5 to 2 on every play. I contend that Allen is a solid player whose role is to sacrifice himself so that others can make plays.

C+, slightly worse, same role, stable, 4th rounder, gimme Gump.

Woefully under produced for what he's being paid.
[Reply]

All those big muskles dont seem to do him much good, often times
[Reply]

Over reimbursed
[Reply]

I bet he intimidates the other team when he gets off the bus, though. That's worth something.

True that, he IS an imposing looking sumbitch

He isnt our biggest problem right now, I'd rather make room for someone else by ditching Nunez-Roches

I could never quite understand how Bleacherreport, which I know is laughed about a lot, ranked him 13th best 3-4 D-end last season: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...he-2017-season

Is there something we didn't see.

I don't think he's terrible but you would like better.

We were much less pleased with Allen than I would have expected. But the numbers don't lie.
