I look at Dennis Allen this way. We were in the top half of the league in points allowed, yards per game, and 4th down%.. Top 6 in 3rd%.

Then I think about the Spagnuolo and Ryan years...

Im good with Allen. Very good with not screwing with that.

With the exception of maybe Lattimore and Jackrabbit... No one is watching our defensive secondary play and thinking.. Man I wish we had that guy.

Spags is in the SB. You may have a point about Ryan, but Spags was never given a chance because SP wanted to shake things up after a season that was doomed from the minute the suspension happened to go along with lawsuits and a contract holdout.

Now ring #2

.

Did you notice how Spaggs KC defense didn't give up a "big play" on the back end last 8 minutes of the SB game? Something Dennis Allen and his group can't seem to do.

CLOSE.
