This was what I was getting at:
"In addition to coming down to the final snap, the Baltimore at Minnesota contest was fascinating in tactical terms, both for smart tactics and tactical errors. It was smart to run "underneath" the Vikings' Jared Allen. A defensive end who always plays for sacks, as Allen does, can take himself out of a rushing play by sprinting up the field and then being pushed farther up the field by the offensive tackle. That's what rookie left tackle Michael Oher did to Allen on Ray Rice's 33-yard touchdown run, which put Baltimore ahead 31-30 with 3:44 remaining: Allen sprinted up the field, Oher pushed him the way Allen wanted to go, then when Allen realized the play was planned to go "underneath" to the very spot he just vacated, Allen simply came to a halt and watched, making no attempt to chase. Chris Chester of Baltimore had an excellent pull block in the hole Allen vacated. Rice's earlier 22-yard touchdown came on the same action against Allen -- who did not adjust, and just kept sprinting up the field hoping to pad his sack stats." - Easterbrook 10/20/09

They didn't trade for him to be a run stopper.
