“The Eagles have found themselves a LB that can do it all.” (Zack Baun)

Allen is a scheme coach, not a player coach.

Allen couldn’t care less how good a player is if they aren’t good at running his scheme. He’s not going to alter his gameplan to help or fit a player’s skill set. He keeps the players that operate well in his scheme and lets walk those who do not.

Some of the players he’s let leave have thrived in other teams because those teams recognized the talent and put them in positions to succeed.
