Buffalo Rumblings on Josh Allen
From the article
Allen's self-reflection offered a glimpse at what might have been holding him back: 'Early on, just didn't feel like I was in a rhythm — wasn't taking some of the underneath stuff. You know, fighting, mechanically, some stuff right now that I'm working on. But I felt like in that second half I got into a rhythm.' The most dangerous version of Allen is the one where he's in a zone, playing instinctual football. Almost no one can touch him, figuratively and literally.
STACKED’s take
Allen's instinctual play without mechanical focus projects to 4+ TDs vs. Raiders.
Allen's bold prediction centers on his ability to play instinctual, rhythm-based football rather than fighting mechanics. After admitting post-Rams that he was 'fighting, mechanically' in the first half but found rhythm in the second half, the source argues that Allen's most dangerous version is when he's in a zone playing instinctually—'almost no one can touch him, figuratively and literally.' While this version may carry a turnover or two, there's a far better chance he scores four or more touchdowns. Against the Raiders, Allen has completed 55-of-71 passes for 562 yards with five touchdown passes and no interceptions in two games. The source expects Week 6 to be a 'get right with himself' game where Allen plays with less restraint early, unbridled like a 'fire-breathing unicorn at its best.'
