Singletary is their most complete back but lacks true elite speed. The team has invested heavily at running back in the NFL Draft, with Devin Singletary (2019 3rd Round), Zack Moss (2020 3rd Round), and James Cook (2022 2nd Round) all on the roster. Every other person you talk to in Bills Country says that Josh Allen runs too much, and that they need to find a running back capable of filling the role. Quite frankly, I don’t believe the Bills are built to be a traditional running team, and I’m not sure they care to be one. What are the issues surrounding the struggling run game for the Bills? Through three weeks, footballoutsiders has Buffalo with the last-ranked rushing DVOA at -41.1%, nearly eight points lower than the second-worst team. That play clearly illustrated Allen relying on his talents too much in place of his mechanics.Ģ. Then, late in the game on a 4th & GOAL throw to take the lead, Allen couldn’t connect with wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie who was open for the touchdown-the ball simply landed short and bounced off the turf. He tried to do too much deep in their own territory and fumbled the ball back to the Dolphins. That right side was specifically where Allen seemed to struggle throwing to the outside.

Now, it’s important to note that the offensive line was down nearly every one of its starters-especially so on the right side of the line. Through the first two weeks of the season, Allen was on a fever pitch, one very similar to his incredible production during the 2021 NFL Playoffs-and especially so against the Kansas City Chiefs.Īgainst the Miami Dolphins last weekend, there were a few throws Allen made that seemed to show a regression to traits from his first couple seasons in the NFL. You could also say his hero-ball mentality. I think if you ask anyone in Bills Mafia this question, you’ll likely receive a similar response something the likes of “Josh Allen tries to do too much-but we love it and wouldn’t change a thing.” But a weakness? I think it’s when Allen tries to rely too much on his talent, and comes out of his mechanics. Do you see any weaknesses to his play right now, or anything that has had a noticeable impact to curtail what has been an impressive start to the 2022 season? Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh said the challenging part of slowing down or defending against Bills quarterback Josh Allen is that he does everything well.
