Re: Dennis Allen
 

The problem is we don't have the right players to run 4-3 and Allen is a 4-3 coach.... I'm not sure whats going to be done about that.

Re: Dennis Allen
 

I agree but at this point in time we don't have much to lose.

Re: Dennis Allen
 

I'm sure he's smart enough to know what he can or can't do with the players he has. I'm hoping we will see improvement throughout the remainder of the season.

Time to move forward no looking back now.

We can employ the Two Gap, Three Under, Tampa 2, Zone Man to Man Press!

Re: Dennis Allen
 

We kinda have LBers for a 3-4, yet we kinda have D-lineman for a 4-3.

And...go. It's your show, Mr. Allen.
