bills11 Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Was watching clips from last season to this to see his progression and he seemed to have faster acceleration and top end speed last season he was just leaving linebackers in pure foot speed. Whereas this year when he takes off he seems a bit slower. 1
ClemsonBills Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 He is just running less. Which is good. Idc to see him running past linebackers if it results in a concussion.
CuddyDark Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 No. They're spying him like they did Tyrod last couple season with the Bills. Mush rush. Also they've said JA likes to run right so if you watch the pats game they put Collins on the right side of the offense in front of the RT and kept him there the entire game. If JA wanted to run right he'd run into Collins. 3
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 I don’t think so. Allen is now trying to read defenses which has caused him to pause. Josh is also running behind his linemen on designed draws better. Last year he was reading 1 maybe 2 options then it was head down and all out run. He has done a better job of side stepping defenders in the pocket, reestablishing himself and making throws. He has also pump fakes linebackers to jump up and then deliver a throw. I bet Josh could still out run the majority of linebackers in the league. 2

Gray Beard Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 I think he is being more cautious. Head on a swivel. Thus not running full speed with reckless abandon. Yet he still got a concussion.
Stank_Nasty Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 I personally think it’s because he’s much less decisive when he actually decides to take off. That hesitation is enough for people to get up to more speed to close in. I’m fine with it. But it’s gonna be a difference in a 10 yd scramble or getting snagged my a lineman or backer while barely crossing LOS. 3
dous21 Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 its fine. I think they are coaching it out of him, which is good considering if they don't it will become ingrained in his mind that he has to take off at any sight of pressure. That is why we are witnessing bad interceptions. its going to be a bumpy ride to make Allen into a pocket passer. He didn't have the coaching some of these other guys did in school. he also needs to learn how to protect himself when running, which is part of the reason why coaches don't let him do it often anymore. 1 1
CuddyDark Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 I don't understand why it's so hard to understand teams are playing him as a running QB. He's still running. He's actually running more than last year. He's not getting the big run because teams are spying him and trying to stop him from having big runs. They aren't turning their backs to him as much. They're mush rushing him and keeping him in front of them. 2 2

I also dont think people realize that his rushing stats would be better if he wasnt taking 3 knees per game to close it out

Definitely but I was more just talking about his initial acceleration..it seemed like he had more explosive first step last year but I digress I could be wrong hard to say without numbers

White Linen Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 He's lost a step, I can tell. It happens to every 23 year old. 5
MtlBillsFan Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) I agree. I remember saying this to a friend week 1. And he replied Josh had 10 pounds extra this year... He seems a bit slower. Edited October 12, 2019 by MtlBillsFan 1
