Ken Dorsey Telling Josh Allen Not To Take Extra Hits
‘“I think there’s times where we just tell him, ‘hey, in this situation, make sure you’re getting down and making sure you’re not you’re not taking any extra hits.’ Through that, making sure you know every run play we’re calling isn’t a zone read, as in a quarterback run. You know, honestly, we didn’t we didn’t call a ton of them last game.”’

Jim Kubiak: Josh Allen’s performance vs. Rams shows why all opponents should be worried
‘Allen and the Bills were impressive as they dominated the reigning Super Bowl champions in Week 1. Allen picked up where he left off last season with an incredibly efficient performance, completing 83% of his passes and converting 9 of 10 third down situations. His efficiency and proficiency seemed boundless as the Bills overcame four turnovers to blow out the Rams, 31-10, in a highly anticipated matchup between two projected Super Bowl contenders.’

Bills Mailbag: Josh Allen’s running is dynamic – but it needs to be reined in
‘This has to be a priority for the coaching staff. Allen is the single most important player on the team, and perhaps in the entire league. Here is what coach Sean McDermott said about Allen running on Friday: “Well, yes to not running Josh. We had a waggle pass called there in the fourth quarter in particular, and the receiver got covered, so Josh (pulled it) down and ran with it as the only other option. So that’s something we can do better as coaches, and we will moving forward.”’

Jalen Ramsey finally admits to being wrong about Bills QB Josh Allen
‘“His growth has been crazy,” Ramsey said on the Straight Off the Press podcast. “So usually I think about quarterbacks like Josh Allen who went to small schools like Wyoming, other quarterbacks you may be able to point too.

In terms of the talent they faced so I feel like (the Bills) drafted off of potential.”’
