I feel what you're saying. Maybe its because teams focus so much attention on him. I wouldn't say he was a non factor but I wish he was able to get more pressures and maybe a sack. He did have that really nice play where he blew up that trick play for negative 10 yards.

Right the play on the  trick play sticks out … and I think he is a good football player … but my goodness does this team need an edge rusher In the worst way. Travon isn’t that yet he seems more along the lines of a good football player / freak athlete, but not a good edge rusher yet just due to lack of experience doing it im guessing. And Chaisson is a bust. I remember reading how this year Allen was supposed to find that dog that made him a top 10 pick off the edge and I didn’t see it today.. isn’t this his contract year too?  We can’t let him go under any circumstance as good players we draft are hard to come by, but it sure will be hard to offer him top pass rusher contract money if he doesn’t start to make his pressance more significantly and consistently felt off the edge . Not just once or twice a year he has a good pass rushing game while a most of the other games all he has is a handful of instinctive good plays.

He had a forced fumble and was seeing a lot of attention from the blockers sliding his way; he played well today.

If that’s the case is our issue Trevon Walker’s rawness as a pass rusher ? He must have been isolated a bunch of they were sliding to Allen.. he did have the sack and a few tackles but I don’t recall a bunch of pressure coming from him either … I have mentioned a few times that IMO he has a long way to go as a pass rusher. But I am no expert on that.
