Don’t be surprised if you don’t see him playing strong side LB any time soon.

Still... 
I wouldn't read too far into comments from Wash in May about exactly how each player will be utilized.
They haven't even begun camp and he doesn't even know who will be playing the weak side linebacker spot.

His philosophical view on using Allen could encounter some practical adjustments between now and September.

I agree with Wash.  A pass rusher is so much more important than a SLB.  Why wear the guy out at a less important position, when he's probably already half worn out from the pre-draft stuff that NFL prospects go through?

I could see using a little trickery every now and then with a zone blitz, though.

My question is, he had 17 sacks last year even though he dropped into coverage a huge percentage of plays.  How many sacks would he have had if he had not dropped into coverage so often?  25?
