MJS Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) Came across this on reddit. Josh Allen is number 1 in the NFL at evading pressure: Edited November 11, 2020 by MJS 3 2 6
Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Well, he's so diminutive.....................................oh wait
MJS Posted November 11, 2020 Author Posted November 11, 2020 Surprising to see Matt Ryan so high. The rest of those guys are pretty mobile. 2 1
dorquemada Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 What I love about Allen's elusiveness is that he combines the typical Athletic QB using speed and cuts to avoid hits, but he also is developing Brady's technique of seemingly barely moving at all and seeing people miss all around him. I think that combination is kind of unique, and its starting to look instinctual to him 18 3
HOUSE Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 I am not sure how he does this He sees pass rushers coming and he runs 1 1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 #5 they guy who's supposed to be the better athlete. 1 1
BillsFanForever19 Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just *doesn't* belong. 7
Don Otreply Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Someone smarter than me, ( that would be the rest of you) should put together a list of every stat that Josh is top five in, I’m guessing it’s a long list, oh and send a copy to pfff, not that they will comprehend it’s meaning... Go Bills!!! 2 3

He's throwing them off of him and breaking tackles and sacks. Pretty hard for defenders to deal with. He's big, athletic and mobile, can break through tackles, AND he's smart and can maneuver in the pocket. 3

I think it also has to do with how they step up in the pocket & slip initial pressure. I know I usually think of their ability to run, but slipping tackles & moving around in the pocket to create space & avoid sacks is probably factored in.

I just didn't know Matt Ryan was that good at it compared to those other guys who are more agile.
MJS Posted November 11, 2020 Author Posted November 11, 2020 Funny that they chose to show a picture of Murray even though Allen is #1... 1 1

I wonder if they count face-palming a defender into the carpet as "evading" the defender. See angry run Week #2 vs. the Phish (starts at 4:10 mark or so): 1

Go Bills!!! But Mercury is in Retrograde, and Momson (or whatever his name is) likes our Josh now 5 hours ago, MJS said: Surprising to see Matt Ryan so high. The rest of those guys are pretty mobile. I think that it may not mean what one thinks....it's talking about mobility behind the LOS, evading pressure and making a pass, right? So it's actually a sign of a mobile QB who does not get *too* mobile. Ryan is pretty shifty in the pocket and makes guys miss. 1
