LB Chase Allen

(How has it been moving around to different positions?) – “Just knowing the playbook. It helps you, I feel like, know the details and the ins and outs of what everyone’s job is. I think it’s helped me as a player.”

(Has any position been more difficult for you?) – “It’s just adjusting from … You have to be able to flip your mind from knowing Mike (and) knowing what your coverage is or whatever to moving to Sam. You just have to be able to flip that mindset and be able to know what you are on that play and focus in.”

(How is this year different than your first year coming here as an undrafted free agent?) – “I’m just much more comfortable with the defense. I know what to expect now rather than coming in and being an undrafted rookie and just running around and trying to impress somebody. This year I’m much more comfortable and more relaxed.”

(What do you tell to some of the other guys that are also in your situation a year ago?) – “You just have to work. You have to … When the opportunity comes, you have to prove it. That’s how this league is.”

(Just the competition at the linebacker spot, how has that been?) – “Great. I think the competition has been huge. I feel like we have a lot of guys that can play multiple positions, so that creates more competition.”

(Going into this fourth game, it’s crunch time for a lot of guys out here. How do you handle it, how do you approach it being kind of in that mix?) – “You just have to treat it like any other game. (You have to) come out and do your job and make some plays. I’m just focusing on my job and whatever position they ask me to play, and just do the best I can at that position.”

(Is your comfort level higher this year compared to last year?) – “Yes, 100 percent. I feel like everyone who goes through a rookie year, their second year they’re much more comfortable and they know what to expect and they can just play faster because of that.”
