Allen’s teammates can help him keep his composure by neutralizing the Saints’ pass rush as much as they can. Priority No. 1 in that regard is containing Cameron Jordan, who has been a thorn in Carolina’s side for years. In 16 career games against the Panthers, he’s totaled eight sacks and 16 quarterback hits. Right tackle Taylor Moton will need to keep Jordan in front of him as much as possible. Slowing down Jordan is easier said than done, though. Offensive coordinator Norv Turner should consider helping Moton out with extra blockers.
