Summary: On today’s episode of USA Football’s Coach and Coordinator podcast, host Keith Grabowski is joined by Peyton Allen, defensive line coach at Maine Maritime Academy. Allen was a player at Bridgewater College before being converted to an offensive coach due to an injury he sustained his junior year. He transitioned over to the defensive side of the ball and served as “tackle boss” going into the fall of 2018. Allen learned first-hand under Coach Rob Everett, one of the best tackling analytics coaches in the country, while at Bridgewater.
