3 sacks and 13 tackles, nice start. team is 2-2 and he's one of the few good ones
3 sacks, 2 of them in the loss to kc. broncos are 2-1 and he's been a problem for offensive lines.
Allen is the disruptive engine inside Denver's front: active hands, relentless effort and enough rush juice to make protection plans uncomfortable.
Strengths: Interior pass rush, motor, hand use, versatility and veteran leadership.
Weaknesses: Interior rush volume invites double teams, and his aggressive style can create run-lane opportunities.
Allen is a tone-setter for Denver's defensive front. He plays with a nonstop motor, creates interior pressure and still does enough dirty work to let the edges hunt. Back-to-back All-Pro-level seasons make a nine easy to defend. He is not merely a sack-total player; he changes protection plans and keeps the whole front active from the inside.
Strengths: He delivers rare interior disruption, relentless effort and durable three-down value. Allen can win with power, hands and anticipation while also producing tackles and passes defensed in the run game.
Weaknesses: His aggressive pass-rush style can occasionally create interior lanes if the rest of the front loses gap discipline. The main challenge is maintaining an elite snap load and production as offenses devote more protection resources to him.
