So, if you just read the report it's all said and done... Allen is DE. After all, Wash clearly said as much, right?

Well, there's something more than Wash said that Oesher managed to neglect reporting. Wash actually said...




Ah, there it is!

Wash clarified the intent is to limit Allen in coverage because they want him rushing the passer, but don't think that means you'll never see him line up at OLB.

I think he's just referring to the nickel they play out of 70% of the time which only has 2 LBs on the field. 

At times in that formation they line the DE out a bit wider and his responsibility can include the flats to his outside shoulder depending on what the offense is showing.


You might be onto something there where the DE essentially has the role of a strongside OLB, although this sounds like the role of Seattle's OTTO from back when Wash was their DL coach. I'd love to find those old schematics that explained Seattle's OTTO, etc.

The way Wash said he doesn't want to see his prized pass rusher out in coverage too much makes me think we will see him in coverage some. He said that after talking about how well Allen is able to do in coverage. I feel like we're going to be impressed with how they ultimately utilize their "DE opposite Ngakoue," as Wash referred to him, especially knowing the master of the zone-blitz Dom Capers is in the house. Capers was renown for disguising coverages with the DE dropping back and someone else blitzing, which the Jaguars excelled at during his '99 season with the team.
