Defensive end Charles Omenihu recently shared his insights on NFL quarterbacks Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. After signing with the Commanders this offseason, Omenihu drew from his experience with the Chiefs in facing both players over the last three seasons.
Omenihu’s Perspective on QB Performance
When asked about the two quarterbacks, Omenihu expressed a strong belief that Allen would secure a Super Bowl victory before Jackson if their situations were reversed.

Defensive Strategies Against Jackson and Allen
Omenihu noted that the league has not yet fully solved the puzzle surrounding Josh Allen. He stated, “I don’t think the league has truly figured [Allen] out.” In contrast, he believes that Jackson can be effectively managed through specific defensive tactics.
- Against Lamar Jackson:
- Utilize a five-man rush
- Collapse the pocket
- Cover his receivers effectively
- Against Josh Allen:
- He is hard to tackle due to his size
- Possesses exceptional arm strength
- Can make any throw from various positions
The Future of Allen and Jackson
As of now, neither quarterback has reached a Super Bowl. However, both the Bills and the Ravens are prominent contenders for the AFC Championship, making them a threat as the 2026 season approaches. The quarterback who ultimately prevails will gain a significant advantage in the ongoing debate over their legacies.
Omenihu’s observations highlight the diverging paths of these elite quarterbacks. With each game, the dynamics of the NFL evolve, offering new challenges for defenses trying to contain their talents.
