Very common for young QBs. Footwork, which is very coachable, also has a big determination on ball placement and throwing accuracy Yea I've been coaching and scouting for 20 years.. Wyoming is not a region I touch tho so I never got to see Allen live.. all I heard were the myths around him I've definitely seen a huge improvement in footwork from his last season in Wyoming to now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has really not learned yet how to play the QB position properly... And with all the nuances it would be maddening to think he has it down pat 15 starts in With Josh, patience will be a virtue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egd Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Newbie here; I signed up for an account just to respond to this topic. I played professionally in 2007 for two teams, at both DE and TE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleshifter Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I played "football" with friends as a teen. My athletic career started and ended playing baseball for the St Andrews Mustangs (Town of Tonawanda), 2nd or 3rd string outfielder. In Army basic training, I went up against a high school athlete when we did the pugil sticks (giant Q-tips you beat each other with). My opponent had strength and balance. I got my butt kicked in short order. During the final physical testing session, they mis-counted and gave me an extra back-and-forth on the monkey bars. Because of that, I got the E-2 stripe, while my more athletic buddy did not. Kudos to all you guys who coach kids or officiate games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) I was a great football player. A monster. Knee injuries shortened by career or I may have gone even further. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/afl-focus-tom-sestak-435218 Edited October 5, 2019 by Bob in STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with all the nuances it would be maddening to think he has it down pat 15 starts in With Josh, patience will be a virtue I am happy to have Josh and believe he gives us the best chance to win each week on top of his long-term potential. The Pats would have feasted on Barkley's lack of velocity and been able to shut down the run/plays into the flat and slot. Barkley can win games against teams with weaknesses in the secondary/ability to lead receivers against teams like the Jets, but the Pats would be able to play tight coverage against our outside and deep balls knowing that Barkley is not a mobile threat and reliant on open space for his receivers to make a play. That being said, I do wonder if Josh would benefit from 1-2 games observing from the bench and getting his mind/body in shape. Watching the offense from a position where he has no impact on the result of the play could help him to be more disciplined and not feel that he has to try to be the hero and make a play every down, and prioritize just taking what the defense gives him rapidly (which is when he manages strong drives and avoids putting himself in a situation to take hits or force balls out of desperation. I don't think we are better against the Titans with Barkley instead of a healthy Allen, but a game seeing the offense from the bench next to Daboll as he fully recovers from the concussion could be what he needs after showing overall progress paired with streaks like Q1 vs. the Pats that determine too many games. He seemed more decisive and sharper after being out for a few weeks last year (+ Foster giving him a competent receiver/deep threat) and focusing on film and mechanics through the bye week could be just what he needs.

No, but really it's quite the testing operation they have going on there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
