He is not flashy......Just a blue collar player who shows up every week. The effort is always there.

He was dominant down the stretch.

Allen gets to Brady so fast for the big play to Evans in the WC game - Brady just gets it out quicker - Allen could not have done much more. Does seem like Sweat and Payne benefit from the double teaming and game planning teams do around Young and Allen.

I couldn’t believe the throw from Brady on that play. Allen couldn’t have won any quicker and Brady still threw a perfect ball down the field to Evans

Great read, Mark. I think it's easy to overlook how important pressure from the interior D-Line is for an entire defense's success. Allen has been one of my favorite guys to watch and is a phenomenal leader in the locker room. Extending him should be a priority for the WFT!

Allen should be resign simply b/c he is worthy of a new contract and deserve it!

I have always liked reading Mark Bullock's columns about football. I lost track of him when he left the Washington Post (so did I). It is nice to see him back. Please keep it up.
