Dennis Allen is unleashing the New Orleans defensive line this season.
By installing his personal variation of the attacking, aggressive scheme Gregg Williams deploys, Allen is also taking a lot of the guesswork out of the game for the guys up front.
From edge rushers like Cam Jordan and Kasim Edebali, all the way to John Jenkins and Tyeler Davison inside, Allen wants the Saints defensive linemen firing off the ball, aiming for penetration and wreaking havoc on opposing offensive lines.
“We don’t want to sit back, we don’t want to react to nothing, we want to dictate what’s going to happen,” Saints pass rush specialist Brian Young said.
