So the player would have tremendous value. Also what makes Allen special is he has the athletic ability to play in coverage as a will or a MLB. It's just not his best position.
Also why are we forgetting guys like Lavar Arrington and Peter Bowlwhere both were in Marvins system and thrived as pass rushers from the OLB in his system. 

Boulware was from his DC days, not his time in Cincinnati. If he was really serious about using SAM as a pass rusher, he would have pushed James Harrison or Manny Lawson to actually rush the passer more, which they didn't. My point being that while we've heard that was going to happen, it never really did happen in well over a decade.
