He's not "limited".
He limits himself...

After Allen took over the reigns, he barely played Kikaha...

In the Detroit game, Kikaha had a forced fumble, but only played 10 plays...

He limits himself?

IF Kikaha was healthy...

...and his best asset is as a pass rusher...

...and, for example, Detroit was torching the Saints...

...Why would you only play Kikaha for ten (10) snaps in the game?!?

And despite limted play, Kikaha forced a fumble in those limited snaps...

Why on God's Green Earth, would you not find a way to get a play maker like that on the field?!?

Rob Ryan was awful at deploying and executing game time...

Allen in his run, left Kikaha on the sidelines when he should have been trying to find ways to put him on the field, making plays, developing...

...It wasn't like Allen had to do much to look better than Ryan...

...My legitimate concern is that Allen is a rigid, in-the-box thinker and lacks the imagination to assess his assets/personnel and deploy a scheme that puts as many of his people on the field at one time as Coach Payton does on offense...

In their limited play down the stretch with Allen at the helm, Kikaha and Edebali were as or more productive per play than any Saints defender...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
