Mango Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The Instagram videos seem to show that Allen is taking some zip off of his throws. That and mechanics should go a long way in terms of increasing his productivity and consistency. Hope he can maintain at game speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I think it's great Josh continues to show his determination to be the best he can be. He did this last year with Beasley and Co. and developed nice chemistry as the season started. The one concern I have though minor is it seems Josh doesn't tend to hit his receivers in stride on crossing and post routes consistently. He hits center mass and head high a lot which I guess is fine if your receiver is flat footed in the soft spot of zone coverage. I'd like to see him lead his receivers a little more so they can YAC it up. This is a big year for Josh and he knows it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn’t probably be so hard on those that dare to believe! It might surprise you that I have a lot of belief in Josh. I think he could be special, eventually!! And someone here commented about how good it is just for these guys to get together and see what makes each other tick. To bond. One of these pictures did give me a little less concern for Josh’s accuracy. Brown and Beasley aren’t that big. Josh hooked up well with both!!

Allen was drafted based on potential. He was never once touted as a finished product. He needed time. And so far, with time, he’s shown marked improvement. I guess the other thing is, he could be doing nothing through all this. The fact that he held workouts in Cali, then Florida should have us fans salivating at his leadership and how others rally around him. Goes a long way on the field...

Here's what I see in these videos. Josh Allen asked these guys to travel to Florida on their own dime, during the off season, coming out of a pandemic, to voluntarily work out together to get a leg up on the competition this season. As best I can tell, damn near everyone showed up. Hell, even the left tackle showed up. What I see is a Josh Allen taking the reins of the offense and leading them. If you want to minimize that, have at it. 4 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 To be honest, I could care less about them running routes and catching balls against air. What I do care a great deal about is them getting together, building personal bonds and friendships on their own dime. As others have said, there is a whole lot more to team success than Xs and Os. Culture, comradery and common goals are a significant part of it as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Diggs is a known commodity. Everybody knows who he is and what he is capable of doing. There are no question marks. Josh has made encouraging strides but remains a work in progress. And there is at least one unanswered question IMO. Allen has absolutely everything you could want in a QB in terms of physical ability and intangibles. So much so that all things considered IMO he is already a confirmed starting calibre QB who with the right supporting cast can take you a long way. Maybe all the way. The question is processing speed (not to be confused with football IQ - Josh is a very smart guy). The ability to process is the secret sauce. If he can do that consistently he is elite. Time will tell. I think he's got a good shot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
