Allen is an impressive guy. I don't know if it's the number but he looks like a young Philip Rivers. 

 

It was an interesting interview.

 

Part of him was all round-eyed kid "Wow!  Jim Kelly!"

Part of him was all business: "It means I did the right things Day 1.  Day 1 doesn't mean anything.  I've got to go out there and consistently do it"

Part of him, in a careful way, has just a little bit of an edge, did anyone else see that?  When he was asked about the wide receivers, and he said "they did a really good job.  they were at the right depths, most of the time. we're here to get better, every day we're going to get better, so tomorrow, you're going to see crisper routes, you're going to see guys at the right depth more often, I'm excited to see these guys progress and the receivers they can become". 

 

That was a bit of a call-out - but it was so positive, and so smooth, if I were a WR, I'm like "yeah!  QB excited about me! getting better!  gonna get after it!"

I couldn't have been much more impressed by that interview with Josh. Aint easy to be humble and super confident. He really handled the questions well. Coaches must love him and I can see why they were enamored. 

 

He wasn't my first choice but I am all in until he proves otherwise, and just got my "Allentown - Est 2018" tee shirt.

Orchard Park, N.Y. -- After months of picking apart his footwork, completion percentage and everything in between, Josh Allen finally took the field as an NFL quarterback when the Buffalo Bills started rookie minicamp. 

 

The clock is already ticking on Allen's development and the rush judgement is already underway. But this is hardly the setting to judge Allen. Sean McDermott insisted that he only wanted to see Allen improve. 

 

Right from the jump, the Bills quarterbacks coach David Culley was working on footwork and agility drills with Allen, who will need to develop more consistent footwork to fine-tune his accuracy. That appears to be an early emphasis of the coaching staff. 

 

Once the football started flying out of Allen's hand, he looked comfortable. He was enjoying himself and bringing the type of leadership and energy the Bills want in their franchise leader. 

 

"I was like a little kid again," Allen said. 

 

Here's what we learned at Bills minicamp.

I hadn't heard about the t=shirt so I googled it.

I'm heading back to Buffalo soon and would like to get an Allentown t-shirt for my brother.

Is there a shop in Buffalo that have these or do you have to order them online?

Three thumbs up that Daboll was so interactive with Allen.  My question is can he keep that up once the season starts, especially if Allen is not the guy starting.

Hopefully Allen will have had so much repetition by then that the tendency to revert will be less pronounced.

I guess Polian didn't get the memo that QB's don't get 4 years to pan out anymore.

 

If Allen is struggling in his third year, he won't be getting a 4th. It's just the way the NFL works nowadays. Patience is a thing of the past.

 

Well he isnt saying that he suck for 3 then all of a sudden be great in the 4th.  Pan out means he grows each year, and by the 4th year he's really hitting his full potential and the Bills are going to be tough to beat.

I ordered it online. It was from Store716. Not sure if they have a storefront location or not. It took about ten days to get across the country from the day I ordered.

Imagine if Dennison was still the OC?  Holy cow, Allen would be doomed.   I wasn't sure if our coaches were up to the challenge that is Josh Allen but I like what I see.   They are pretty much saying " this is what you do great at and this is what you suck at.  Now let's correct what you suck at."

Many fans lost interest in those 18 years... Getting to a wildcard game and scoring 3 points didn't alter the teams image all that much.

 

i fail to understand this !o gic.  ThE team missed the playoffs SEVENTEEN years in a row. Won 5 out of last 7. Made the playoffs and lose by a TD.  And you can't get excited about that? You need to be re-,energized?

 

A lot of glass half emptiers it seems.
