Season 26 finds Otis Allen in a position that he has long dreamed about, but has only just come to realize: becoming the most physically talented defensive tackle in the league. In meta terms I’m referring to Otis having the most TPE of any DT in the league. While this has been a long time coming and has only happened with the regression of future hall of famer Bubba Thumper, this will hopefully signal a turning point in the career of Otis. Allen has never quite had the stats of other star defensive tackles. For quite a while this was a frustration of mine. But only this last year I’d come to learn that my statistics weren’t quite as they seemed. The primary reasoning for my low stats was my low snap count in comparison to other tackles. At the end of the last season I had something like 400 fewer plays played than other tackles who were being nominated for awards. Knowing this, coupled with the championships that I’ve been able to accrue during the front half of my career, I have been able to become more content with where I’m at as a player. Maybe later I’ll chase individual awards, but for know I am very happy with where I’m at and the role I’m playing on the team.
