Hats off to Dennis Allen

Allen gets too much credit - it's the new hires that really jump-started this thing...

Mike Nolan replaces Vitt, Ryan Nielsen replaced Bill Johnson and Aaron Glenn in his second year replacing McGriff...

These guys along with Ireland's impact in the draft is where the credit is due; very fortunate Lattimore fell out of the Top 5...

I would tend to agree with this. Allen has never done anything to impress me schematically, or in game planning. We all thought the assistant hires would make a big difference, and after a slow start, apparently they did make a difference, along with a few personnel additions.

Everybody still talks trash about Spagnuolo and how he needs talent to succeed, and yet Allen is getting tons of credit with better talent, and a better staff. I don't get the double standard.
