Jared Allen: “Still Using Human Beings”
The Vikings are off to a surprising 4-1 start and sit atop the NFC North tied with the Chicago Bears. One of the driving factors for Minnesota’s unexpected resurgence in 2012 has been the revamped defense. The Vikings have allowed opponents only 11 ppg over their last three victories. The defense, especially in the secondary, has a renewed exuberance. The addition of young rookies like Josh Robinson and Harrison Smith, along with second year player Chris Cook, has given the secondary a youthfulness it has lacked for nearly a decade.
Upfront the Vikings D-line remains a handful for opposing offensive lines to control. Our Purple and Gold are allowing only 79 rushing yards per game. They have 14 sacks already this season, good enough for 9th in the league. Their sacks have totaled a loss of 113 yards, which is good enough for 4th in the NFL. The secondary may be revitalized, but its the defensive line that continues to anchor this defense and sets the tone.
Jared Allen, of course, is one of the predominant lineman for which opposing coaches must game plan. He has been somewhat limited this season (by his standards). He is struggling with a groin injury, which has limited him in practices and a few of the games, and he has totaled only three sacks so far in 2012. While he may be missing a few downs over the last two weeks because of his injury, he never misses the chance to offer a great quote. When asked before last Sunday’s game against Tennessee if teams were blocking him differently this year, he had this to stay:
“No. They’re still using human beings.”
Allen is well below his pace of 22.0 sacks last season. We’re sure he’ll sacrifice the sacks for the surprising 4-1 record.
