When I read all the stuff about Josh and Brittany, the breakup and his movie star rebound, I admit I got a little worried that getting the TMZ treatment would distract him. Josh needs to stay hungry and doubted.

Agree !!!

Great video, but he did most of the interviews with sleeves on…should we be worried? 

I think the word “worried” should be supplanted by “concerned”being that is this preseasons trigger word…, 😂

Yup. I was impressed by how hard he worked in the off-seasons, but that doesn’t appear to be the case any longer. He got his big contract just prior to the 2021 season and that’s the last off-season he worked with Palmer. This off-season when asked about his training he just said he was going to rest his body. He would not be the first athlete that took their foot off the gas to enjoy the finer things in life after getting rich and famous. If that is the road he’s going down I hope he turns it around and gets back to doing the things that elevated him.

I think a huge part of Josh' skill set is his moxy. I think he works on himself. As his mechanics get better, I think he double downs on his moxy. I don't think he has ever been a big nutrition, body maintenance, or film guy compared to his peers. Based on his success the definition for peers is different than others in the league. The expectation is to be Mahomes or Brady-esque. 

I think this is an area of his game that needs to improve to help himself and this team take the next jump, and for him to stick around the league long term (to protect his body).

 

EDIT: I don't think that this is a contract, payment, lazy issue by any means. I just think its an area Josh has to put more focus on in terms of next steps.

I'm just really puzzled by where this idea that 2021 is the last time Josh worked with Jordan Palmer came from.  There's a One Bills Live piece with Jordan Palmer

https://www.buffalobills.com/video/one-bills-live-jordan-palmer-on-working-with-josh-and-kyle-allen

 

Palmer talks about how the new way of thinking is that he's working with his guys year-round to help them maintain their technique, that Monday and Tuesday he's on zoom with up to 30 guys (I would assume Josh is a priority client) watching game tape to break down their mechanics.  A bit later (5:40 in) he talks about how he uses side by side video from the off-season and from the game to highlight how their mechanics were at their best and what was off.

About 2:30 in, Brown asks "in Josh worked with you this off season, did he have to change his regime with the UCL injury and take maybe a couple extra weeks?".  Jordan talks about how guys who are starters, playing in January, and who have "complete ownership of their stroke"  (like Josh) "start a lot later" in the off-season and take more time off, and that recovery is as valuable for him now as extra work used to be (3:30 in)

 

Anyway, throughout the whole thing all 3 seem to be working from the understanding that Josh is still working with Palmer every off season, including this past off-season, although since he's now "playing in January" and plays a very physical style, he needs more time to recover and starts later.

 

So I'm really puzzled where this idea came from that after 2021 when he got his big contract, he stopped working with Palmer and other off-season team.  I don't think Josh said "rest his body" was all he was going to do all off season, I do think he said that's what he'd do to start.  It's pretty clear Palmer thinks he worked with Josh during the off-season!!

 

By the way, Jordan states that Josh's UCL this past season was worse than the injury his rookie year where he missed 5 weeks (4 games + bye) and his improved mechanics helped him play through it.

Is this Jason Whitlock? 🧐

If Allen is continuing to work with Palmer, then I am happy to stand corrected. I didn’t think that he had done that because:

- I hand not heard of him doing so this or last off-season like I had in previous years.

- Palmer took a new job with the XFL before last off season so he left EXOS, which is where he trained Allen. 

- When asked what he planned to do regarding training this off-season Allen did not say anything about Palmer, only that he was going to rest his body.

Was she? When you are with someone as long as they were together, I doubt anything like that went on. Besides, wasn't the story Josh was down with OPP?

Josh clearly had a problem cuz he left

 

He's a grown man and he could do whatever he wants... And there was obviously trouble in paradise 

 

They didn't break up out of the blue they were probably on the fritz for a while and that will absolutely affect your mindset and play
