Allen may not be a speed rushing RDE, but he's a guy who will do a great job setting the edge and putting teams in 3rd and long so we can pin our ears back. With spread offenses dominating the college ranks, you see a lot of finesse LT's entering the league, and Allen's bull rush is a definite mismatch for those types of players.
When you shift him inside, however, Allen next to Atkins is a nightmare. Inside pressure affects QB's more and is much harder to avoid than outside pressure. When they can't step into their throws, QB's tend to miss high, which leads to turnover opportunities. With those two in the middle and Dunlap on one side, all the RDE has to do is stay in his rush lane to keep the QB from escaping out of the backside. Clark showed some potential as a 3rd down pass rusher last year.
