The problem is that he is getting no help at all. You normally need at least one more pass rusher to take pressure off your premier guy, so he isn't facing double teams. Chaisson has been an unmitigated failure and our 3 guys up front have improved the run defense, but they just don't get any pressure when it comes to rushing the passer. Add that to the fact that for some God forsaken reason, we keep dropping Allen into coverage, instead of having him rush the passer. I don't know how many times I watched this team drop Allen into coverage last night. I nearly lost my mind. Why are we doing this? He's our only pass rushing threat! It's just a perfect storm of failure and most of it lies with the coaches and management. We need to get another pass rusher opposite Allen and we need to quit dropping him in coverage. Once this is done, I believe he will regain his 2019 form. The talent is there, we just aren't using it correctly.
