Here's some perspective for you:

Josh Allen - 9  catches allowed on 17 targets - 52% completion rate allowed

Rayshawn Jenkins -  39 catches allowed on 55 targets - 70% completion rate allowed

I'm pretty sure most of those were on simulated pressures. Sometimes you have to do that do odd things, like that to keep other teams guessing. 

If good QB's/OC's know exactly what 1 or 2 defensive players are going to do every play, it can easier to game plan against. 

I mean Allen was in coverage, like 2 plays a game? That isn't that much.

Yes, for sure, some of those were "disguises." And some were in direct response to the formation that appeared in front of them and a need to cover all the backs, receivers, and ends. 

Either way - it didn't happen much - and when it did he was actually quite good at it save one big play given up for a TD. But it was far from some ugly trend in our defense that deserves any serious consternation IMO.
