I don't think we'll play the style of defense everyone else has used against Allen. I think we'll be more aggressive.
It's time to come home with your shield or on it -- Spags isn't going to go down watching Allen smile and dial for 5 seconds every time he drops back. He's going to bring heat. And we're going to go out there with more man coverages that force the WRs to win their individual matchups.
And then we're going to hope the LBs are able to keep Allen from having a field day when he sees the DBs backs are turned and tries to get upfield. And maybe force a fumble in there.
I expect Spags is going to make Allen execute. He's going to give him chances by playing a more aggressive style, but he's going to make Allen prove he can get the job done with them. Repeatedly.
We'll give up some big plays to Allen on the ground, IMO. But we're going to make him keep proving that he can do it. I don't expect us to just let him dissect us with a contain rush like we did last time.
Because lets not forget that despite all that, we were literally 3 inches away from Karlaftis forcing a game altering fumble. And that's when we rarely dialed anything up.
Do it often and we'll get to him a time or two. And that may be all it takes.

At this point I’ve given up assuming we’ll come out with anything that can stop Allen. That dude hasn’t had what I’d consider a bad game against us since 2020. And that’s basically a lifetime ago by NFL standards.

Yeah, I know how your homer brain works. You’re mentally calculating the Mahomes overthrows and missed reads for Worthy and not doing the same for Coleman.
