Yeah - it's similar to what we've seen and done vs. Jackson -- we contain rush.
When you're that focused on rush lane discipline, it's not that hard to block you off. And when you're not driving upfield because you don't want to create a lane underneath you, the OTs don't have to worry about their outside shoulder as much.
Allen's legs, like Jacksons, make the pass rush plan against him very different and that helps a lot.
Yes, Allen's OL is very good and very experienced has a ton of continuity -- that's a big deal. That said, Allen himself makes his OLs job quite a bit easier. You just can't send a conventional rush at him.
