It is a battle between him and Allen for most disappointing season.

Unfortunately, Paynes contract year is appearing to be the outlier.

He is playing much like his years before.

He MAYBE flashes twice a game, never gets any kind of consistent push, and doesn’t finish that well when he does get there.

And ultimately, him and Allen are a big part of this defenses failures.

You can’t pay All Pro money to those two guys and not even get average starter play.
