OK, there's a throw about 17 seconds in where one of the coaches taps Josh on the thigh 3 times before he throws. 

Anyone who coached/played got any input in what that's about?


Not sure,  I saw that and assumed it was just trying to give him a feeling of being in a pocket with movement around him and wanting him to focus, but it seemed very deliberate- so it could have been timing related.

 

It was interesting for sure.

It just mimics contact in a moving pocket. Some teams use pool noodles or pads to whack at the QB, same concept.

I get the contact in the moving pocket thing.  I've seen them roll big exercise balls at Josh too, for the same feeling.

 

Like @Rochesterfan said though, that particular seemed very deliberate so I wondered if they were trying to work on a timing throw with it or something

I saw that. But Thad was still obviously the reporter to show the Diggs video. Thats what I was alluding to. 

I just didn’t see anything from what Thad said In relation to the video that spinned it negatively. He said it was comfort in leadership

Yea Thad was crediting him. It is who Diggs is. He isn't a diva but he is a passionate competitor who wants to win and demands high standards of those around him. Lorenzo Alexander was like that - I don't remember anyone calling him a diva.

@Hapless Bills Fan - watching it again - the first drop back pass - that same guy mimicked a rusher around the outside of Josh.

 

The pass in question was thrown between the second and third tap - so I really think they were just simulating pressure and minor contact.

 

Fun stuff to see either way.

Royal, you realize she’s 50 right?  Maybe she does, but she obviously hasn’t seen what Allen’s girlfriend looks like.

 

Hapless, I didn’t see the play so not sure on the three taps.  Could be a few different things.

I saw a clip from cover 1 saying that it is to try to distract Josh while in throwing motion, an exercise for Josh to maintain concentration during a throw, iirc.. Oh and fifty year old girls want it too... guys want to be him, girls want to be with him...

 

Go Bills!!!

Don, that is definitely a possibility as I used to coach and that is one way to try and distract the QB.  It can also be he messed up on the previous play the snap count, or a few other things.  It could be to signal him to change his intended target and say the third tap is Davis on this one va. Diggs who is one, and Brown is two.  Like I said, I didn’t see it, but I’ll defer to you Don as you know football.

Thanks, but I suspect you and several others here know more about football than I do by a long shot, 

 

Go Bills!!!
