26CornerBlitz Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Subscription required for full access: During Josh Allen’s pre-draft process, quarterbacks coach Jordan Palmer wanted to show scouts and organizations that Allen not only had a strong arm, but also one that had “layers” to it. The former player-turned-trainer was vocal in his belief that Allen could throw every type of pass a QB needs to in order to be successful at the NFL level. All of the work Palmer put in with Allen came to fruition, as the Bills took him seventh overall in the NFL Draft. While the criticisms of Allen as a one dimensional passer have persisted into the regular season, his performance against the Lions on Sunday spoke loud and clear. In Allen’s fourth game back since injuring his elbow, he looked the most comfortable in the pocket that we have seen all season. That was mainly due to the Lions’ game plan to make him “play quarterback” rather than let him play outside the structure of the play. Rather than blitz the rookie, which they did just four times Sunday, the Lions executed muddle rushes where their defensive ends didn’t go any deeper than Allen’s drop. They also executed very few stunts and routinely assigned a spy, all to discourage Allen from taking off and hurting them with his legs. Detroit’s strategy was similar to what teams would use to defend Michael Vick in his prime. When I turned on the film, I came away impressed with Allen’s game. He displayed the “layers” of throws that Palmer helped him harness.
oldmanfan Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 In Buscaglia's article he says something about wanting t see Allen be 95-100% when in the pocket? He can't possibly mean the kid is supposed to complete 95-100% of passes when he has a clean pocket to throw from? That would be completely unrealistic for any QB.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 Just sent a message to a columnist at the Washington Post newspaper. When he mentions the Bills, he continually suggests, as he did today, that Allen is severely struggling and may not make it. I suggested he watch the kid in action and he'll understand why his teammates and the fans love him, despite his horrific offensive line and lack of quality receivers. 1

26CornerBlitz Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) The Detroit Lions and head coach Matt Patricia curated a gameplan that forced QB Josh Allen to play from the pocket. They limited his ability to extend plays outside of the pocket and really forced him to ‘play QB.’ The rookie answered by doing just that. Allen rarely pulled the ball down too early or looked to escape the pocket. Instead, he trusted his offensive line, he trusted the scheme, and he let the game come to him. His showing in the 14-13 win was very promising, so we jumped into the film room to break down some of his play from the Week 15 matchup.

Wait for the crickets when Allen goes into New England and lights up that very soft defense.
dayman Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Bottom line with Josh is he gets butt ass naked out there. He lets it fly, he runs like a wild man, he lives in the freaking moment. He's going to be an average QB at worst for that reason alone (well...for that reason + his stellar physical capabilities) and that will make him our best starter in 2 decades.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Subscription required for full access: ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Josh Allen’s passing numbers won’t blow you away. By now, you’ve probably seen a number of analysts point to his completion percentage, passer rating or yardage totals as evidence of his stalled progress as a rookie. And yet, in the Bills’ 14-13 win over the Lions on Sunday, Allen played arguably his most complete game as a pro. He avoided interceptions, led a fourth-quarter comeback and didn’t take nearly as many hits as he did against the Jets the week prior. Yes, his completion percentage was only 50 percent and he threw for just over 200 yards. But the big plays he made helped change the game. “Every game is such a unique situation,” Daboll said. “Everybody would like to be 80, 78, 75, 70 percent, but you kind of need to peel it back and figure out the reasons why. Some of them could be throws, some of them could be decisions, and some could be a good decision, where we throw it out of bounds four or five times last game. Some of it is making a play on a ball and coming down with some things. “At the end of the day the quarterback really needs to be judged on leading this team down to score points and taking care of the football and giving us an opportunity for us to have success, and we’ll just keep on working on really all of the completion percentage, the third down throws, the red zone throws, the scrambles the staying in the pocket, that’s all part of it. The most important thing is that letter at the end of the day.” The Bills got the win, the fourth time they’ve done so in a game Allen has started this season. With the help of former University at Buffalo quarterback Joe Licata, we dive into the throws behind Allen’s impressive day.
