Josh Allen and his reworked mechanics led to big improvement (FULL INTERVIEW) | FNIA | NBC Sports
/ nbcsports - Sport
There's a sincerity to him that doesn't feel faked. He's a good kid. A real kid. And hard on himself. That's Buffalo through and through.
I honestly feel the first two years humbled him and were good for him, in terms of personal growth not only on the field but off.
He came in with a bit of a cockiness/attitude that was offputting and alienated some of the bills fanbase.
@@ArlanKels wtf are you talking about? 😂 Not a single Bills fan felt that way but apparently you.. that's if you even are a Bills fan. He has never been cocky. Not a single day. Stop making shit up.
and Wyoming.
I still can't believe the Bills have this dude as a QB. The Mafia has deserved a team like this for so long! GoBills!
Don't forget the credit for the Bills organization and their system that allowed Josh to grow to where he is now (they made playoff with Tyrod Taylor and Josh as average QB in 2019) Had he been thrown to a more chaotic environment, well say the Bills about 10 years back, pretty sure the outcome would have been quite different for him.
@@davidhatran3160 He went to a team that had the worst cap situation in the history of the NFL during his rookie season. He then was thrown into the fire as one of the rawest prospects in the history of the NFL and was willing a terrible team to wins against playoff teams. Josh would have exploded anywhere because he is that dude.
@@bfire Bills in 2017, 2016, 2015 were not a terrible team, they were around the 8-8 mark. Josh was just an average QB with mid 50% accuracy in 2018 and 2019, with flashes of good run plays and bad plays as well (remember the play he threw the ball back and almost turned it over when he was rushing). If he was in a less forgiving environment or one with lots of coach turnovers (and changing schemes), I don't think he would have developed well. Also it's a team sports, even Brady couldn't do much without good receivers or not protected well.
@@davidhatran3160 oh yeah 2015, 2016 2017, great examples. Josh was definitely on the team those years.., smh
@@davidhatran3160 you mean Jordan Palmer? Beane gets all the credit in the world for drafting him, but after watching this 99.9% of Josh’s success is his own doing.
Seriously intelligent interview by Chris Simms with a humble and most genuine QB in Josh Allen.
Simms is the best. He is probably the best analyst in the business.
@@AnthonyClauser His father too. And Kurt Warner
@@stevecavallaro7764 It's pretty awesome when his father calls into his show.
First Great Interview.
Second you can tell how wholesome and open Josh is. No stutter or pausing to questions. Instead detailed and honest. Thats true character.
Nothing, other than his God given talent, has ever been handed to Josh. I was at training camp his rookie year and the QBs were throwing towards us from the far end of the field. You couldn’t see who was throwing as the ball came out to the receiver, but it was always clear which ones were Josh’s throws. I will never forget the Minnesota game that season. And still the haters doubted. But I knew we had a winner when after his elbow injury sidelined him briefly, he was out on the field, standing behind the QBs during practice, taking notes. The coaches asked him what he was doing and he told them he was doing mental reps. He willed himself to success with his work ethic and that natural talent. I wish my Dad had lived long enough to have seen him play.
Go bills brother 🤟🏻
Brother, I say that all the time about my dad. He would LOVE Josh. He's watching from up top 🙏
I feel the same way about my grandpa, he would have loved Josh 🥺💙❤️💙🏈🏈🏈 Go Bills!
Amen bro. I’ve been following josh since his last year at Wyoming and let me tell you it’s been one hell of a ride. BILLS MAFIA
Amen very same for me.
Chris, You have become a favorite in Firebaugh! The question you asked Josh about lifting a bunch of weights was enlightening. Josh was lifting hard going into his senior year at Firebaugh HS. He was a hard gainer. His metabolism was super fast. Josh was not great because he lifted weights(weights are important), But he was great because he competed year-round in 3 sports. Josh was great because he wanted to compete, complete, and defeat our opponents. However, when we had Eagle Football Max Outs before his senior year, we put 135 lbs on the Olympic Bar and let each player Power Clean it as many times as they could. We had some studs. The coach who was running the event calls me and says "Coach I'll bet You are not going to guess who won the Power Clean max Outs!" I responded" How many reps did Isaac get? What about Leo? Dopey?Joseph?Anthony?" Then the coach said "Coach You owe me a Pizza Factory Pizza! It was Josh Allen! He got 90 + reps!" Dang that kid just keeps blowing our minds! Love Coach Mag!
Love stumbling across this comment I'm the BIGGEST Josh Allen fan he means the world to Buffalo!!
josh wants to win at Tiddlywinks or anything else. Big heart, big talent in that order. God Bless Coach
Wow great story coach
To th whole community of Firebaugh: thank you all for raising Josh up right, beyond his physical talents and leadership skills on the football field he is an all around good dude and stand up guy, he is so humble and positive and kind hearted, we couldn't be more proud to have him leading our team and representing our community and being a role model for our children.
sincerely,
#BillsMafia
And@@Harlantownit's great to see you here brother, any Bills fans out here who aren't subscribed to your channel are missing out on some of the best Bills content on CZcams, you always find the most obscure Bills footage and the community in the comments section of your videos and the polls you post are good peoples
impossible not to love Josh Allen
Agreed. ❤️💙Go Bills!
As an Eagles fan Josh Allen is my favorite QB in the NFL.
as a bills fan the eagles are my second team ( my dads side is from outside philly) respect!!!
Eagles are my 2nd favourite team as a bills fan
@@mattlogue2657 bruh I lived in SF I have moved in 2017 to Minnesota I have every right to be a 49rrs fan
The comment that stood out to me the most that Josh made was that he let his body rest this off-season and he's feels better than he's ever felt....that got me excited. He's gonna tear it up this year.
he mentioned he was back into training 3-4 times a week right now. one upper, 2 lower, and a football/athlete based session i’d assume and currently through the early part of the season he should do nothing but get better/stronger=uh on nfl
and this year in my opinion is the absolute best chest for the Bills to win it all. With teams all around the league currently having some sort of issue or another, the Bills look to be not only the most complete but the strongest team in the NFL. As a Saints fan, I really do think that Buffalo is gonna win it all this season, and honestly I hope they do because the organization, the team, the alum, and the fans deserve it after all those years of suffering. If only the Sabres could take notes from the Bills on how to build a championship caliber team lol. (as a Stars fan, I couldn't help but poke a little fun at the Sabres even tho my Stars suck just as bad right now lol)
@@soulessshadow5356 '99 was a long time ago I forgive you lol
all i know the nfl is the best sports league currently, and it’s not even close :) happy football my man!
Pray he stays healthy - Go Bills !
Man, if a group of Players, Coaches and Fans deserve another shot at winning a Superbowl... it's the Bills. Hope they get that chance.
We are super bowl favorites, it’s ours to lose!
Appreciate you Rey!
Bills won’t make the Super Bowl this year lol
Thanks,Rey! We want it so badly!
I would say bengals but to each their own.
Bengals were a half second away from winning it all but that needle banging steroid freak aaron Donald stopped it.
Ran a route for this guy at a workout in san diego when he was coming out of college. That arm is real with no effort
The summer going into Josh’s rookie season I ran into him and Harrison Phillips at the Bills Team Store at the stadium (of all places). There was no one there and hardly anyone went up to him besides me and my family. He had to buy all of his own Team merchandise. Crazy to see how far he has come.
He was a first round pick, no way he was buying his own stuff. Probably gifts.
@@phimuskapsi Yeah he was buying some shirts and stuff for his family. Still
Did you get an autograph?
Thats a blessing to know you could run into one of our players at any time in Buffalo.
@@BuffaloMotivated Yeah I didn’t believe it at first. Only took a picture with him.
Chris Simms does not get enough credit for his interview skills
Chris Simms my favorite sports analyst and my favorite, Josh Allen in all of sports. Go Bills.
I LOVE that Josh is our QB1. Bills fan for 57 years. LOVE this team
Every High school or college quarterback should watch this.
This is awesome! Simms is the man, I wish more interviews were done like this.
Winning The Supper Bowl for Buffalo is Allen’s Destiny. Go Bills
Ahh yess. The Supper Bowl. Buffalo hasn’t had a supper bowl since Chili’s released their all American -classic potatoes and meatloaf gravy in a bowl in 1976. As far as a Super Bowl goes , which is an NFL trophy that Buffalo has never won…. that would be even more rare!
@@jackb8598 lmfao, aiight, that was pretty funny so we'll let it slide 😂☠️😂☠️ #BillsMafiaApproved
The most talented QB I've ever seen and extremely humble at that
Bold statement but boy can play.
Mahomes is better.
I don’t think it’s that bold because the dude can run the football like Cam Newton and I think the way he throws sometimes makes me think of Rodgers because of his quick motion
@@atl126 Rodgers past his prime at 38 years old still better than both 😂
@@qe6919 yep, and I think Brady is still better than all 3 of them
Chris Simms believed in Allen before it was cool.
Edit: lifelong Bills fan and it’s surreal to me how much the mind is catching up with the freakish talent. Allen hasn’t hit his final form yet.
He sure did 😂😂 that’s his “homeboy”
Mat Miller and Chris Simms were really the pack leaders in the media
No he hasn't but he's getting closer. He's still getting used to his new throwing motion , once it becomes second nature he'll be unstoppable and leave mahomes and Rodgers in the dust
Simms certainly put me on to Josh, which put me on to the bills & made me a fan!
And Lamar too as a ravens fan I respect Josh Allen because he’s been scrutinized like Josh Allen but Lamar gets more scrutiny
After the handshake, with half a second left, the screen fading to black, Josh manages to say it-
*"Go Bills"*
This series is so incredible. Love Chris Simms
If you don’t like/love Josh you are haven’t been paying attention, are jealous he’s not your QB, or you simply don’t like the Bills. I want him to win the Super Bowl for HIM because he’s a better person than he is a QB. Go Bills…
Facts, very well said brother 🦬💪🦬💪🦬
Great interview Chris.
My boy Blue bringing us multiple Lombardis and if it doesn't happen I still love 17. Just a great human.
Thanks again to Cleveland and Jets for not taking him
JOSH ALLEN IS A BEAST 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've always liked Josh but after this interview I'm hopping on the bills bandwagon. Great interview
Josh Allen is the real f*ckin' deal... so happy he's a Buffalo Bill!!! #GOBILLS #BILLSMAFIA
This is one of the best qb interviews I’ve seen. Chris is amazing as an interviewer with qbs, his knowledge and playing experience allows him to speak to them on a level that they seem to enjoy and open up to. Great work simms 🐐
An exceptional interview. Christ Simms did a great job with his interactions and questions. There is a lot of mutual respect between the two. A nice interview.
Best interview with Josh I've ever seen
So happy to have J.A. on my bills, been a fan since 91' and man we had some rough years between the good ol days til now, yes we did not win the 4 S.B.'s but they were awesome to watch, on all sides of the ball.
This team has to bring a championship back to Buffalo. The scene in Western NY would be absolutely incredible. The thruway would be backed up to syracuse.
The Peace Bridge and Rainbow Bridge too
Rodgers never gets any credit from the anyone in the media for setting the precedent for QB mechanics. Brady, Mahomes, Murray and now Allen are on record now stating how watching Rodgers made them all try different mechanics and change the way they think about throwing. Really cool to see QBs at the top of league admit to this and have a open mind. And shows how ahead Rodgers has been of everyone for a decade plus.
I think it's unanimous that until josh rodgers was considered the most talented qb ever!
@@afropick3000 among players and fans that's true but QE is right that the media doesn't give Rodgers the respect he deserves, the Packers are the only team in the NFL that doesn't inject Toridol into their players which is the main reason why they don't have more Super Bowl rings and the fact that Rodgers only has 1 while Brady has 7 influences the media to never give Rodgers as much attention in spite of him being better at playing the position than Brady is, it's very similar to how a lot of people will say that Mahomes is better than Allen just because he the Cheifs have a ring in spite of the fact that Allen is unequivocally more talented at playing QB than Mahomes is
@@xp8969 yeah they call brady the goat but they've always called rodgers the most talented qb ever.
@@afropick3000 I'm not saying that people don't ever acknowledge Rodgers greatness but it's an an undeniable fact that the media doesn't give him anywhere near the amount of attention or respect that he deserves for his talent
Chris Simms is a real one
I vote for Chris to interview all the players It must feels good to talk just football
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 This is our year. Go Bills 🏈🏈🏈
I love it when a very rare respectable sports media person, interviews a very respectable player. A great interview happens!
This gives us all hope! Very inspiring story. Thanks Chris!
What an awesome, honest, open interview
That was one of the best interviews of all time
this is great content, simms and company really stepped it up this yr, go jets
Love, your a loyal fan. Go Bills
With you guys never being a threat and seeing all the suffering the Jets have gone thru over the past 50 years we've always felt kinda bad for you guys, hoping you have some success with your new squad this year, would love to see you guys stick the Pats in the basement lol
@@xp8969 when was the last time you made the afc championship
I bet Chris Simms loved this interview
I have an irrational fan love for my man Josh Allen. Please, Bills, let's close the deal!
Buffalo loves Josh Allen! What a fantastic interview and I cannot wait to see the season kick off! LETS GO BILLS!
people are so enamored by Josh on the field they loose sight of how intelligent this cat truly is.
How Josh really got to Buffalo is an amazing story 💯
That was a FANTASTIC interview. I love the relaxed back and forth vibe it gave me as they threw the football at each other. Both Josh & Chris seem like a couple of guys who you could just hang with shooting the $hit about the good old days. Everything felt genuine. Thanks for doing this one!
OMG I love Josh Allen. At 52 he has been the most fun to watch of any Bills QB in my lifetime including Jim because he is just smarter than JK. Looking forward to more than one SB Monday, where I am partying in Buffalo over the next 10 years due mostly to this kids talent, heart, determination, and character. Looking forward to a Brady-esque career in Buffalo and so glad to be a Bills fan these days! GO BILLS!
Wow. What an amazing video. Fantastic questions, super detailed. You don't get a chance to see this often. Unbelievably cool to see two smart QBs talking shop. I absolutely love this. I have so much love for Josh Allen; I would be shocked if he doesn't end up winning a few super bowls. So proud to be a Bills fan :)
I bleed Cheifs red and have forever. Bills got as lucky as everyone but us, we got Big Red (Reid) too. Nothing but love and respect for this dude, him and Mahomes are why we love the sport so much right now
As a bills fan I’ve always respected the chiefs. Way before maholmes. Y’all have a really good team!!
Well said brother, KC is a similar city to Buff and we definitely respect what Andy Reed has built over there and a lot of us wanted th Bills to draft Mahomes so we're all really enjoying this rivalry with you guys, looking at the trajectory of both of us over th past 3years & all th improvements we've made to both sides of th ball it seems like this will be th season we surpass you but there's nothing but respect for yer team as competitors and you guys as fans, lookin forward to October
The NFL just wouldn’t be the same without Allen or Mahomes. Go Bills!
THATS MY QUARTERBACK!!!❤️💙
Love this interesting interview
My uncle up in Detroit Lakes, MN used to be a good golfer. He finally got a swing lesson at maybe 60 years old. After a few swings the swing coach said, “You used to play baseball right?” My uncle still had a little of a baseball swing in his golf swing. Sometimes it just takes a specialist to see what you can’t see yourself. Josh is obviously a quick learner.
Best content in the game! Even as a rival, Allen is good to see on field and in this type of approach.
First Bills game was in '97. The first game after Jim Kelly's retirement. We got smoked by the Vikings and a drunk lady fell on me during a fight that broke out nearby. It was a long 20 years in the desert. So thankful we have Josh now!
What a story! Lol
@@BillsPodcast It was good prep for what I was gonna watch for the next two decades 😅
Awesome interview! Always love the "Go Bills" at the end.
Man I really hope we get Allen vs Herbert in one division playoff game and Mahomes vs Burrow in the other or some other variation of those 4 teams.
MY BOY BLUE!!
Wow I really enjoyed watching this great work
This is such an incredible interview
This was an amazing interview. Loved hearing all the mechanics and learning how he processes all of it. Not to mention Chris not talking for five minutes after asking a question, here's a question and I'll wait for your answer. Always enjoy an interviewer with deep knowledge doing a comfortable interview. I won't get into how much I love Allen, just a superior athlete with humble understanding of his path to success
Vikings fan here, nothing but respect for this kid. Hope he gets his bills to the bowl
Great interview! Really well done. Also, thank you to Josh for showing that gym time isn't all that big of a deal. There are other methods to keep a strong body and stay healthy. I feel like lifting all the time actually hurts your body.
Well… it IS breaking down your muscles… over lifting is a bad thing.
Chris is such a normal seeming dude, and so is Josh, great interview.
Great interview. Asked questions I’ve never heard him asked!
It’s a dream of mine one day being in that stadium watching my Buffalo bills play 🙌🏾
Josh is the man. Great interview Chris
Fab interview, Chris. Best ever.
I am a terrible football fan because I’ve never had a “team”. I like players. Nowadays when you have a team, you really just like the city or the mascot or the colors…the way the rosters and coaching staffs change EVERY SINGLE YEAR, it’s almost a different team every season. The NFL is becoming more and more like the shitty NBA in that aspect. So I’m not actually a Buffalo fan, But the respect I’ve grown for this guy and the love I have for watching him ball out makes me cheer for them and want them to win week after week. Josh Allen is a gem and I believe he’ll be a top 4 qb for the next 6 years or so 🔥💪
Can we acknowledge Josh Allen has an elite sneaker collection 🔥
That throw that Chris talking about at 8:10 was a throw in practice the other day when Josh threw a pass down the sideline to little McKenzie, dropped it in the bucket between the safety and corner. Even Rodney Harrison who was at practice said that the Bills media ppl are spoiled to watch Josh everyday in practice cuz it’s not many qbs that can make that throw or would even attempt it. Josh is another animal he’s different 🐐 #billsmafia
Great stuff!
I'm a lifelong Bills fan and never doubted he was our guy from the first game he played. Stiff-arming and hurdling defenders are unusual things to see from a quarterback. He wasn't showing off. He was doing it for the win. That's all I care about. Jim Kelly was a fiery competitor with a great arm. It's hard to understate his importance to the Bills and Buffalo. We love him. Josh is that same kind of competitor with more talent.
I hope Chris does this with all the starting QBs, I'm just so fascinated with QB play, love the talk on development and mechanics
Josh Allen trap-bar deadlifts.
That's all I need to know.
Very interesting and and fun to watch great inside thanks guys
Awesome Interview 👌 👏
Something else that blew my mind. If you've never played a sport for extended time this is hard to grasp: how fast he developes muscle memory is unbelievable! To change so many minute as well as substantial adjustments in his mechanics and have his body just absorb it so fast really has me in awe
Nice piece... Gold ⭐
Great interview
Awesome interview
Best interview I've seen with Josh Allen, thanks.
Seems like a very genuine guy. Hope it works out for him
What a great interview 👏
great interview Josh, Chris! .. my boy blue!
The main man on the field being interviewed by the main man with the Mike. Great content. #GoBills
I'm going to be the 1,284,673 person to say, Chris Simms, this is the damn best interview with ANYONE I've ever heard! ( And seen ) Great questions with great timing, yet letting him talk and comfort atmosphere, and on and on. Rocked it! Felt it.
Edit: But Chris, unhook that top button on the shirt for interviews. Makes you look stuffy.
I'm a high school pole vault coach and I love this video. I'm getting so much out of it. It's really good communication between two quarterbacks with a lot of learning happening.
This sh** is so fn fun to listen to. Love this kinda stuff.
He's on point. He's thinking of everything. Even possible flags taking a roughing the passer. Chris Simms great interview
Allen might be one of the smartest players in the league. He could become an elite broadcaster someday.
WoW!! To be able to actually pull off the release timing of your throwing motion is really hard to discipline yourself to do. I gotta see this in the coming season. Prior to this season I noticed that our receivers were incredibly acrobatic making the completions from Josh, but with this newly born throwing discipline what Josh has learned should give us so much better 2nd and 3rd down to 1st down conversions. Great interview!!!
"He can't whoop me"
Love, love, love that mentality
It amazes me how many people will brag about Josh Allen knowing that nobody felt this way when he was drafted. And I say that as someone who was on board from day one, quite literally, and had to sift through negative comment after negative comment about how terrible of a draft pick he was.
And just to preface this: If you were genuinely a fan of his from the beginning, go ahead and brag. You deserve it. I'm simply speaking to all those pretenders who only became fans of his when it was convenient. You know, the majority.
And lastly, great interview by Simms! Josh Allen was so open and honest in this interview, and from that I learned a great deal about the game of football. He's clearly someone who puts massive amounts of time and energy into self-improvement, and it's paying off severely.
I'm right there with you. Even tho Allen had his bad moments in his first couple years I knew he was going to grow into a franchise QB for the Bills. My confidence in him never stopped and supported him from day 1. Let's go Buffalo. Allen will lead us to the promised land I truly believe that
Totally agree! I'm a Ravens fan. I love Lamar, but I have an equal respect for Josh Allen, and just the way he carries himself. He's truly a good human being, and one that clearly spends an inordinate amount of time and energy working on his flaws as a QB. I would be utterly shocked if the Bills didn't win their division this year. They have all the pieces necessary for making a serious run at the Super Bowl.
I love these interviews talking the deep dive in the weeds
Fun interview. Simms relies on his knowledge of the position and his candidness is great. Both seem at ease and are out there having a catch, talking ball.
Loved his response to Sims asking him about off-season workouts, lmao…
I love this man
LOVE YOU SIMMMMMSSS!!! You make this game so much more humanistic... keep going big dawg! You're bringing up the whole eco-system.. tide rising all boats. You're humble and self-aware approach to your pops; not losing sight of how special your "POV" growing up was- but also not being a douche bag about it- combined with some SERIOUS NERD OUT game ... just so dynamic. Sims + Cowherd + Florio = NFL needs to cut you guys into the damn equity split on the league! you guys are making the NFL shine.
We on route for a goated season
