Reader Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Here's hoping that Brown and Beasley can improve this. PFF twitter post. Allen is tied for 2nd at 6.3%. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfansinceday1 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Benji helped those stats a lot. So did Josh’s 99 mph fastball from 5 yards away. With Benji (and a new group of WRs) gone and a year under Josh’s belt I am pretty confident things will be different this year...I hope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I’m content with who they brought in this year in the WR room. All of the FA’s have proven hands and with Josh, hopefully, working on touch in his short game, we should see an uptick. The separation that Beasley can get, alone, will help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansLanda Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I wouldn't be shocked if Daboll puts Allen in position to make many more high-percentage check down throws with Cole in the mix to balance homerun shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all agree Josh needs to be better at taking the "short stuff" to improve, but how many times did what's bolded above actually happen last year?

wppete Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Couple the drops with all the pressure and sacks the oline gave up, Josh Allen didn’t even have a chance last year and he seemed to look like a great QB in the making. This year should be a lot different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this was almost worse than the drops. Not just having first down plays called back, but man it seemed like we were starting 1st and 2nd and 15+ more than starting with only 10 to go.

Velocity wasn’t the issue in most cases...particularly after he returned from injury. He simply was too sporadic with his short throws.

A lot of people point to Josh’s only bad game after injury being there patriots (who are known to destroy rookie qb’s) but there were three dropped TD passes in that game, assuming you include the one Foster lost in the sun. The bullet through Logan’s hands in back right side of end zone really frustrated me especially, it was a great tough throw with perfect ball placement away from DB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Kroft/Knox. The Bills brass have implied a few times that Allen needs to take what the D gives him better. I think high % throws will be a big emphasis for him the year.

I saw a significant difference in pre- and post-injury Josh, even on the short stuff. Hopefully now that the "newness" of the NFL has worn off he'll focus more on making those short, easy completions and realize he doesn't always have to go for the big play.

whatdrought Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'd love to see that with a breakdown of first half vs. second half. I think the rebuild of the WR room they did on the fly last year was really quite impressive. (still some boneheaded drops in the second half though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point remains that he didn't really throw that many short passes "too hard" at whatever velocity you choose. I _feel_ like I saw more short ones just off-target, probably b/c Josh was uncomfortable trying to take something off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalover4life Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 This low light is almost as impressive as his highlights.

RoyBatty is alive Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Some of it is related to hao hard he throws, i can think of three Zay Jones drops i suspected it was thrown too hard/got to him to quickly.

Not short yardage either. I believe it was 3rd and 5, picked up the first, holding. 3rd and 15, picked up the first, holding, then didn't complete. Allen kept going for the sticks though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh has to hit the layups with consistency. Cole should help with getting a reliable underneath option and a savvy receiver in terms of coming back to Josh when he scrambles (he did that so well with Dak.) I know Josh will do good things getting the ball downfield esp with Brown and Foster as burners. However can he make those reliable throws that move the chains consistently? As much as I love Josh he misses too many easy throws that are on him. Now this isn't to say I don't have faith in Josh as he works hard and has already shown in his rookie year the ability to be coached and improve. But he has a long way to go in a lot of aspects of his game. Edited May 2, 2019 by billsfan89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
