I'm going to talk Josh Allen here.
And you know who he reminds me of?
Remember Bert Jones back in the day for the Baltimore Colts, MVP.
This guy would try to run everybody over.
He was kind of ahead of his time
on what we're seeing where the quarterbacks are today.
But back then, you could annihilate the quarterbacks
and no one's throwing flags.
I got a better one, Dan.
Okay, give me one.
I got a better one, okay?
Quarterback of the Chicago Bears.
I just had the name.
Bob Avellini.
Bobby Doug, Bobby Douglas, Bobby Douglas.
That's right. Bobby, Bobby, Bobby Douglas.
He would a lefty.
He would tuck it and go and he would seek people out to hit.
Now, Josh doesn't do that, but, you know, he's elusive as all get out.
I mean, Buffalo's offense creates huge problems because,
first of all, who do you put us?
What person do you designate as a spy to try
and keep him in the pocket?
The thing you want to do is you your rush lanes have to be so defined.
you cannot let him escape around the edge.
You've got nothing but problems. You can't sort of let
him escape up the middle because then he can find his way.
And there isn't anybody on the field that
you assign, basically, as a spy that can stay with him.
So, I mean, he presents an incredible
problem. This is Josh Allen that we've seen year after year after year.
The conversation will start
about Josh Allen once we get to the playoffs,
once we get to the end of the year. That's when
the conversations are going to really start is,
okay, where is he now? How's he playing now?
What's it look like now? This is truly him.
