Buffalo Rumblings on Josh Allen
From the article
Just early on, didn't feel like I was in a rhythm [early], wasn't taking some of the underneath stuff. Fighting mechanically some stuff right now that I'm working on... Chris Hess is from this area... It's really good to have him out here, and maybe learn a thing or two, and try to find a way to tweak something and feel good.
STACKED’s take
Allen working with QB coach Chris Hess on mechanical release-point issues affecting early-season accuracy.
After the Bills' Week 5 win over the Rams on Monday Night Football, Allen acknowledged he is "fighting mechanically some stuff right now" and stated he "didn't feel like I was in a rhythm [early], wasn't taking some of the underneath stuff." Allen confirmed he will work with QB coach Chris Hess while the Bills remain in California, noting "it could be as simple as one thing" and expressing confidence in finding "a way to tweak something and feel good." The source's analysis suggests Allen's mechanical issue involves his release point dropping too low toward a sidearm delivery early in the season, which differs from his natural three-quarters or over-the-top delivery that generates maximum velocity and accuracy; the source believes Allen is working to maintain a higher release point for velocity and ball-placement purposes.
