Yup. Against Allen it needs to be a mush rush and lane contain. And Jones consistently vacated his lane gap and cost us.

You could just watch it happening, almost in slow motion.

He'd get off the snap, get into his blocker, Allen would watch which way he went and then just zip the other direction. And Jones wasn't doing anything to hide it - just getting into the body and doing a swim move. It's not hard for a guy like Allen to see exactly where he's going.

I understand that it can be frustrating for a pass rusher to not get much production in a day like that when you're working your ass off, but you really need to almost 2-gap it against a guy like Allen. Trying to shoot a gap against him, ESPECIALLY when your ends don't know you're doing it, is just easy money for a guy like Allen that's willing to run over the middle and absorb a hit.
