Full Chris Simms Visit with Josh Allen

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

I'm assuming this is what they'll be taking tid bits from for the pregame show next week. Really cool look into multiple topics. 

 

-In depth talk about Josh's mechanics.

-His approach to wr option routes in which simms says he's never heard of before.

-How many times a game he truly unleashes his arm and when he figured out he needed to pick and choose when to do it.

-Really cool talk about his approach to scramble/broken plays.

-When Mcdermott ultimately tossed him the keys to the car.

 

Its fairly long at 33 minutes but once it got rolling it was real easy to sit through. I highly recommend.

Allen is a great interview. Intelligent, composed guy.

[HansLanda]

Allen doesn't really lift with his upper body. Kinda crazy, but I get it. He does get leg day in though.

This is one of the most interesting interviews I've seen from a player.  It's pretty rare you get that deep into the mechanics. 

[Long Suffering Fan]

Super interesting.  Best content of the pre-season.

 

Josh is always good, but Chris really brought up good questions and led the interview well.  He might not have been a good QB, but the fact that he was a QB in the NFL gave him some insight to get the most out of Josh.  FWIW he was also the first national guy that I recognized getting on the Josh Allen Train.

 

Definitely worth a watch.

Wow, Beane really lucked into this pick, seeing as he can't evaluate offense and all.

[LeGOATski]

James Cook is the new "Jimbo"

 

That's the biggest thing I got out of that.

[LeGOATski]

 

... And Josh can woop Tom Brady.

245 ish 

 

It all good

 

If Josh can carry that weight so can I 

I just have to grow 6 more inches

His discussion of his release point, spirals in the wind and preferring to throw against the wind were interesting to me.

[GoBills808]

So he really wasn't throwing it to Knox v the Patriots

 

that's crazy

[Peter]

Thank you for posting.

 

This is fantastic and definitely worth the time to watch.

Saw this earlier today. It's great. I like Simms a lot and these kind of interviews are far more interesting than appearances on things like Cowherd. 

 

I think the fact that he's interviewing him while throwing the ball back and forth probably helps with a more natural talk, instead of just sitting there across a desk or looking at a screen

Josh will always be a rhythm thrower.  On his good days he will be in unstoppable.

It also explains a ton about his overthrows with the wind at his back. Imagine a new stadium where the swirling wings are toned down.

I love Josh Allen so much.

I don't think he told the whole story about how he trains upper body.  I don't think you have the arm strength to grab an NFL LB by the face mask and take them down one handed or pull a LB out of bounds with you, if you aren't doing some form of upper body strength training.  

 

I know we got some guys on here who are fitness trainers - some kind of functional strength or plyometric training?  Low weight, high rep free weights?
