Coach Tuesday

Mort looks terrible...

Again: Josh's high degree of self-awareness, introspection and intellect give him as much of a chance to be successful as his physical traits, if not more so. It's what gives me hope. Lots of strong-armed athletes have flamed out of the NFL quickly. Josh puts in the work to critique, think about and improve his game. Golf is a good analogy for him. I like him more and more every day.

Would you say they're supple?

If you say so? Can't say I've experienced it.

This year's Reggie Germany. There's always a backup/fringe WR the fans become completely obsessed with.

WHAT IS THE OBSESSION

Curse you!

Good point but a few things in response - I think Goff is holding back Goff - he’s just not very talented. McVay was propping him up but it’s not like a video game - eventually the QB is supposed to learn to read the coverages himself, the presnap talking should help not hinder - Goff might just be limited. Also isn’t Daboll’s offense supposed to be concept-based? Josh needs to learn the concepts, even if Daboll is telling him what protections and plays to run on a given down. From Daboll’s comments it sounds like he gets it. Finally - Josh’s intellect is an underrated part of his game. If Allen makes it it may end up being as much because of his brain as it is because of his physical abilities. I guess I’m saying it doesn’t trouble me in the least at this stage in Allen’s career if Daboll is barking things into his mic presnap.

The turf is a mess already - compete hazard to the players. Not that the league cares.

Yes for me. But I think they like Bates better.

He also began his career in what was, at the time, a cupcake division.

They're just trying to psyche themselves up, I'm ok with it. I kinda like this year's Dolphins squad. And Fitz is playing some of his best football for them.

This is a tough game because it will put the two biggest weak spots - run defense and pass pro - to the test. Lindsay is the kind of back that gives the Bills a really hard time - he's patient in the backfield and explosive when he reaches the second level. And Fangio will scheme some difficulties for Josh, including weird pre-snap disguises. Fangio is smart enough to take away John Brown - Allen will have to go through his progressions to find someone else, all while hoping Ford holds up in his assignment against Von Miller. The Bills should win this game but it's far from an easy one.

I think the union boss happens also to be incompetent...

Amazingly the NFL changed the rule on PI and then put the union boss in charge of reviewing his union employees - the rubber-stamping is completely predictable. The NFL is such a backwater of a company.

Why

He will not be back.

You’re not *just* saying, just saying.

I don’t know if I can watch years and years of Allen misfiring all over the field. Come on, Josh. Set your base.

Gotta fire the teams coach. It’s over for him.

This is why Allen cannot have entire drives where he can’t hit the broad side of a barn. It’s not going to work. Also fire the special teams coach.

This is a really solid post.

There was a red zone play last week that was designed to go to him but got blown up, I don’t remember how but I could tell from the pre-snap that they were targeting him on a seam route. And he was open. But I’m just basing my comment off his look in a uniform, not on his running speed. He looks like he’s been drinking beer on the sofa for the past year, not that there’s anything wrong with it. I remember him being svelter in Cincy.

Honestly he looks out of shape to me.
