Josh Allen.......over/under 10.5 Rushing TD's???

[Special K]

Josh Allen scored 15 rushing TD's last year......15!!!!

 

That would be an amazing total for a RB, and an almost unbelievable total for a QB.

 

Of course, "amazing" and "unbelievable" is just another day at the office for JA.

 

I am sure the coaching staff is hoping the addition of Ray Davis will take the load off of Josh in goal-line situations, thus lowering that high bar of 15 TD's in the coming season.

 

My prediction:

 

If anyone can replicate a 15 rushing TD season by a QB, it would be Josh, but in the end I think Davis will take away some of those goal line TD's.

 

Josh will still have some of his highlight reel rushing TD's this season, but his overall total will be lower this year...maybe in the 8 to 10 TD range.

 

I'm taking the under on this one, but would not be surprised in the least if he hits the over.

 

What say you??

My guess is the Bills will once again try to limit Allen’s rushing and exposure to hits.

 

Whether they can stick to their guns when things get a little bit dicey remains to be seen.

I say let a rb score rushing TDs. 

[Freddie's Dead]

Let Josh be Josh.  Dude is a weapon.  Telling him not to run is like driving a Lambo below the speed limit.  All Josh's injuries have occurred in the pocket, but the hand-wringing over him running continues.  I'll never understand it.

   I’d rather he didn’t but he will keep calling his own number and will have multiple games with multiple TDs on the ground.

Ray Davis could cut into it but anytime they get to the one yard line, I expect the sneak at this point.  Josh Allen is an exceptional athlete and defending the Bills down near the goal line is very difficult because of that.  He can easily eclipse 10.5, its more a matter of how do the Bills decide to play it.   In past years they threw 1 yard TD passes, last year there were some sneaks.   Not caring about stats, the most efficient thing to do is sneak it.  

[Gregg]

He's getting older so I hope the Bills RB's can carry the load more when it comes to running and rushing TD's. Now if Josh can throw for more than 40 TD's that would be great.

[JP51]

Lets hope he doesnt have to house it 11 times this year... lets get other folks in.

[buffaloboyinATL]

I voted under, mostly because I hope he doesn't have to do it all again this year. That being said, if it takes him running it in 15 times to get the job done again, so be it.  

[DabillsDaBillsDaBills]

I'll take the under. He's only topped 9 in a season once.  

 

Josh has put up 8, 9, 8, 6, 7, and 15 rushing TDs by season.

this is a close one, but i think the need to run JA in the redzone is lessened by the following: (1) Kincaid in year 2; (2) Knox is a threat there; (3) Coleman as a RZ target; (4) RB Davis as a RZ threat to run or catch.  Also, (5) Curtis Samuel scoring on long passes.  

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Slamming the over. 

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

Like half of the 15 are pass plays where he just saw it and went for it.  There were a few red zone QB draws and sneaks.  Early in the year they ran a couple of read option ones.  

[Bill from NYC]

Sadly, I voted over. I think that only injuries could prevent him from going over and I hope to be dead wrong.

[KingBoots8]

I’m going under. Thinking 8-9 would be likely, but I can see the team relying on those runs later in the season as a possibility

I agree here. Hopefully our RBs break off a few 20+ yard TDs this year so we avoid these red zone grind it out drives. I'm in a agreement on long yardage TDs to receivers as well-either air yards or YAC. It felt like those were missing last year with Diggs and Gabe out of sync.

[SoonerBillsFan]

I went under. 6 at most should be his number. 

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

Teams with good running QB's create a numbers advantage at the point of attack on power running plays inside the 10 yard line.  RPO's also  create an advantage in the red zone. Allen, Lamar, and Hurts are used this way to great advantage for their teams.  I don't see it changing much for the Bills this season unless Davis proves to be an overpowering inside runner.

This 👆...I was pretty much going to respond the same.

 

But, how crazy is it that over the last 6 years Josh Allen is #2 in the league in rushing TDs (that includes all RBs). King Henry far outshines everyone with 80 rushing TDs over the last 6 years, but Josh is actually 2nd with 53 rushing TDs. After Allen comes: James Conner (51), Zeke (49), Chubb (48), Josh Jacobs (46), Kamara (46), and D. Cook (45). I mean, wow.

 

 

P.S. He is already 2nd all-time for rushing TDs in a career by a QB, behind only Cam Newton. Josh needs 22 more rushing TDs to tie Cam for most ever by a QB. The over/under on that is what, three more seasons?
