Anyone else notice JA17 sniffing “smelling salts” on the sidelines?

[Desert Bills Fan]

I noticed this twice, in each of the last 2 games, prior to the offense getting back on the field. And I thought: that was pretty strange for a guy who used to be too hyped up with a “sugar rush”.. anyone else see that?

Opens up your airways.  Maybe as simple as that?

[bills742]

He famously did it on the sidelines against New England couple years ago while we were up big and it was deemed "savage". Maybe he should use a few more to get savage mode back on.

[Dan Darragh]

Maybe he's doing lines on the sidelines

It is simple - Josh Allen is looking for another company to do advertisements for.

Those are the special order "Wing sauce in Pepsi" model. Gotta get a mid game fix.

Has any one done statistics comparing win/loss record on smelling salts/no smelling salts?

[HardyBoy]

He's been doing this forever...I read an article on smelling salts and nfl games years ago, let me see if I can find it.

 

I think this was the article I had read:

It could just be a habit at this point. When I bowl I have to put my hand over the little fan. My hands could be dry as the Sahara, I still have to feel those wild winds through my digits.

If he’s not he needs to start.

[strive_for_five_guy]

Was this after he dropped the handoff to Cook and looked ready to fall asleep?  He seriously needs to take something to wake up during the games.  Hopefully a 4:25 start helps.

Once Josh gets his girl problems fixed, he’ll be fine. Between that and all the ways the coaches are trying to change him, the poor kid doesn’t know which end is up.

In the words of Robert Royal…

 

“A fresh of breath air…”

Very common in the NFL. Even Brady used to do it, and he won't eat a tomato.

He’s been doing this a long time. There’s the pre game self induced vomiting too.

A lot of athletes do this.  It opens the airways so they can breathe better.

Hockey players love the spelling salts. It works. 

[Bubba Gump]

It's very common in the NFL and NHL. what I don't understand is why some coaches use them too. Adam Gase used to, and just last night I saw one of the Sabres asst coaches hitting one a few times. Not sure why they would need them, unless they're hooked on them. 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Helps with focus more than anything in my experience

 

Also helps "getting up to speed" rather than taking a a minute to figure out the pace of play you're already there

I don't think thats what Gase was using
