He had a few pockets to climb but instead tried to step outside and got himself sacked. I LOOKS confident. I agree. Problem is, he makes a lot of bad decisions at this point. He’ll get better with experience Yep pretty much. He looks confident... And that might be kinda weird if any part of his thought process during a play is just "stand tall, look poised, look at receivers, can't move to that spot.. might look awkward shuffling at that angle" Like he seriously could be thinking that haha that's how poised he is, and that's pretty scary if true and he's not just 100% tuned into football. Aaron Rodgers looks goofy all the time in the pocket. Ya gotta trip over a lineman and bunny hop sometimes to get to the right spot.. duck every now and then. Play football. Just an observation. Not likely he's going out of his way to look poised, but he's so big and looks more poised/confident what have you than most quarbacks I watch in the league.

GoodHands15 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Watched a bunch of JA college tape. It’s funny because the Wyoming offensive line is so bad...so it’s the same running around Josh Allen we get to see on sundays. I have to say, I think he will be one of the best 3rd down converters under center we’ve had in a while IF we can catch the ball. I will say though, you really can see an improvement in his footwork. I’m talking substantially better. I truly hope that continues. I had seen the tape before, but after seeing him play a game or so, then going back and watching how absolutely wild he was. It makes me really believe the kid is smart enough for this whole self correction thing. Yes he has regressions at times, but it’s night and day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocket presence is amazing. He looks like he feels pressure and slides around. Progression reads seem terrible Considering that it's live game action and when you watch how much he throws that football at ease and that 49 mph is the same number Peterman threw at the combine when he had nothing else he had to think about except "Throw ball HARD!!!" 2 hours ago, jrober38 said: I have no idea why anyone cares about how hard a QB can throw the football. Most of the top QBs in the NFL right now have mediocre arms. This from the guy who over YEARS of posting has CONSTANTLY used the phrase "he has a cannon for an arm" in praise of numerous prospects and current NFL QBs.

But yes I said too poised.. doesn't make sense. He looks great in the pocket, but also stiff, static. To the reply I was talking to. He mentioned Allen doesn't move to the right places, he steps up in the pocket, stands like a towering leader of men, unflinching, unafraid, and just keeps standing and turns into a statue and gets sacked.. that happened a lot more in preseason week 3 though. I was just thinking about the critique another poster gave. He LOOKS good. But in reality actually isn't super consistent in the pocket. and i second guessed my original statement: "He looks like a 10 year vet in the pocket. It's awesome. Stands tall, eyes upfield, shuffles to the safe spot. Gets sacked a lot but he passes the eye test, he's clearly looking down field and buying time. That's a great instinct for a rookie to start with. It's a giant hurdle for a typical rookie we can skip past and find other things to improve forward a much faster paced development." 36 minutes ago, Starr Almighty said: .. What's on your mind Starr?

Cripple Creek Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I’m waiting for the day when we can talk about the accuracy and touch that Allen displays. I don’t know if those are things he’s capable of, but for our benefit I sure hope he is. There are times when velocity matters, but I’d say that there or more frequent times when touch and accuracy outweigh it. When he slings it the pass needs to be right on the money because the receiver doesn’t have time to adjust. If he can learn touch and display the ability to throw receivers open (he dies some of this with his back shoulder throws) & hit them in stride then watch out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats going to determine how good he can be is how well he adjusts to defensive coordinator s adjustments. Yes, but what’s nice is his arm gives him a chance to do that. In fact, it means he doesn’t even have to do it as well as those with marginal arm talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
