- He said he still has a lot of respect for Coach Fox and the rest of the guys in Chicago, but is happy to be here in Carolina.

- Says most quarterbacks go down easy, but trying to sack Cam Newton is difficult because of his size. He is glad to be on this side instead of the other.

- Says Andrew Luck is another tough quarterback to bring down because of his size. Joked that the NFL needs to start drafting small QBs to make it easier on the defense.

- When asked about Halloween, stated that his family is going with the barnyard theme. He will be dressing up as a cow this year. Also...if you ring his doorbell and are respectful, you can take all the candy you want.

I'm surprised by how much of an impression John Fox made on Allen considering he only played for him for a training camp and three games this year.  He's stated how much respect he has for Fox several times since they traded him to Carolina.  Maybe he's just secretly super appreciative Fox traded him from a borderline dumpster fire to a potential Superbowl contender...

why do you feel the need to quote that poo when youre the next response and its just a generic response not directed to him?

He also commented about his preseason game against the Colts.  That's awesome--we get a pre-scout scouting report on them.  Granted, Allen was playing a different position, but he still knows first hand what the team is made of.  On the flip side, Colts Oline played Allen as a 3-4 LB, now he's a 4-3 DE, which should give him a leg up.  Hopefully he continues with the career resurgence!

Foxy gave the man an opportunity to end his career playing his natural position. After the HUGE signing bonus they gave him this past summer, it's crazy they let him go. Allen understands that, which is why he is so grateful and will continue to song Fox's praises.

Not to mention the obvious fact that Allen finally will get his ring this year.

edit: posting from phone and when I went to put in a spoiler it made the quoted post a spoiler.

Spoiler was supposed to be

Yeah I just went there
