Josh’s teammates say they’d run through a wall from him. He has inspired that feeling through his style of play. Now he has enough experience where he can now lead by being critical and demanding more from his teammates. I don’t think Josh felt as a younger player he had the right to criticize and demand. Now he has more years than many of his teammates and will feel more inclined to demand more from his teammates. At least that’s what I’m hoping for.
Josh Allen jumps Linebackers, puts his head down when most fall down like Diggs does! Alpha ! No Doubt! Screaming at people does nothing today! The best leader always shows the way not hold the flashlight for others! He is a General in the front lines! That’s an Alpha!
I think Josh will step up on his Alpha leadership skills. He never really had to use it because of all of the other Captains but I think this year he will step up big time because of a lot of departures. Great opportunity for him. Go Bills!
This year Josh Allen has to turn himself into the Magic Johnson of the NFL! Get everyone involved and just keep dishing, make everyone better around him!
I love Josh but something that doesn’t get talked about enough is that he has to start taking more of those easy, open man passes underneath. It will Benefit the Whole Offense if he Does more of “taking what the defense gives him” If you watch closely, there’s open guys like Kincaid or Cook, Etc wide open in the flat but so many times he just doesn’t want to throw that pass, (maybe he was forcing targets to Diggs.?) but he should start utilizing those opportunities. Move the chains, ware that defense down and it will open up the run game AND the Deep Shots. It’s a mindset that we all know Josh is capable of Doing. We have seen him surgically dismantle defenses like that. I believe that’s the kind of Offense Brady is going to want to Run, especially early in the season. Run the Ball, play an efficient pass game and try to Rack up some much needed R.A.C.
I think the bills ever since they've had daboll and josh fallen, they were constantly trying to get big gains each play. It looks like that got kinda wired into josh
100%. Josh wants the HR too often. And there have been games where he has focused on hitting checkdowns, and it has opened things up. My biggest problem with Josh is his decision making. Elite talent in every category, but he still makes bad decisions too much, and part of that is not taking the underneath throws when they're there.
@@Rumplesti1tskin i totally agree. He wants those home runs all the time, but singles and Doubles are Extremely Important and necessary for consistency and therefore wins
@@coondogsoutdooradventures2484 that is true. The Greatest qb of all time was giving him Sound Advice, and Josh didn’t really wanna hear it 🤦🏼♂️ i know he smart and he wants to win more than anybody and i hope he can keep learning and play his best and Smartest season of his career this year. He has a Superbowl victory or 2 in him, i believe that
One of my favorite pods outside of the usual Cappaccio/bove/Parrino shows!! Excellent work from you three always & the banter makes it even better ❤ keep up the great content even while on the break before training camp!!!
Hopefully, being called out in the huddle by Josh is essential ....Criticize, looked pissed , then Josh says"Let's get this done correctly, ok?" "We're better than this".
Josh has more younger guys and new players now, so, might be an easier transition for him to challenge this group than before seeing as he is the true veteran on this team. Hope he feels his own excellence enough to take his place as their leader.
A better term for Josh year 7 instead of alpha male . He da boss man. They respect him without having to be a jerk. Diggs was disrespectful to him and he gone. ...
I look at the Josh leadership thing this way: He knows what he has to do. Look at the early years....he knew he had things to clean up...and he put in the work....and cleaned up his mechanics and his performance took off. I think he knows that he has to be the leader, and he'll push himself to do it. The guys will follow him when he does, b/c he's out there leading by example. Guys listen to guys like that. Go Bills.
Loved this ep. Josh Allen’s leadership, as much I love him, has to accelerate. If he’s “leading by example” thats the easy way out. He’s leaving 50% of the Vocal leadership out of the equation.
Absolutely the best Bills Podcast. Being driven by multiple points of view,makes it so much more interesting. All three know their onions. Hands-on reporting. I’m an old timer from ‘61. Don’t forget “Jackie” Kemp (as Curt Gowdy would say),as an Alpha Male. On and off the field. A real Winner!
To me, our CBS are most set out of the DBS. Douglas and Benford and Johnson proved last season to be easily ahead of the others as starters. Bedford for 2 seasons has shown and earned his place as CB2. Time to accept that and worry about other positions where there's a lot more uncertainty
I think a lot of people forget that Damar Hamlin actually is a good player. I know we haven’t seen him a ton, but that dude LAYS the body and I’m pumped to see it again this year
Hugh fan of the pod! Great comments on QBs who are natural Alphas- but it can be a double edged sword. Look no further than Troy Aikman, who admitted that the second half of his career was miserable because he had to yell at teammates incessantly, when that should have been the coach’s job. There are multiple other examples, of course. I agree with your points of Josh becoming more of a vocal leader in holding the younger players to a high standard, but that is extremely difficult if the coaching staff isn’t equally as vocally insistent . Love them or hate them, there’s a lot to be said for a Parcels, Buddy Ryan/Ditka persona to take pressure off your QB!
When are we going to get some Air Allen shoes. Dudes jumped over how many guys now. He's made how many crazy plays. He wins a mvp and a superbowl get ready for a sneaker deal
I see the problem with Raul being that this season he’s our #1, but the drop off in skills with CB’s are typically early 30’s. So do you give him a 3yr contract paying him for what he is to us now? Or where he’ll be career wise in a year or 2.
Guys on the Team know that Josh is that Dude on gameday. If I was his teammate that's all I need to know. He's THE QB that gonna play his heart out every game. He leads by example. I don't need him to be an Ass. I need him to be himself and that's why guys want to come here and play with him.
20+minutes in before a #14 reference. I thought we were going to make it through clean 😐So over that story. Alpha personality, not alpha leader. The coach and GM (and the fan base) really need Josh to grow from Big Bro Josh to I'm Your Dad Josh. Dan, great point about Jordan. Many teammates hated him. But look at all the rings. I think that evolution is critical to a championship team. Thanks fam. Love y'all.
Those 90s bills had "alphas and pittbulls"... As well as 4 SB appearance and 6 HOFers?? We need some guys like that, we have a lot of nice guys on this team, and nobody is afaid of them.
Concerned about the expectation being challenged for Josh to serve in a role as someone he is not. Allow Josh to focus on his game and find someone else who can fill-in a Diggs style character trait to serve as "the heavy." Fearing you're proposing a recipe for some tough times. SERIOUSLY HOPING I am mistaken...
Josh is the alpha male that has class and respect for the team and organization. In Josh's mind he is no different than the people who wash the uniforms for the team. This all stems from how he was raised ! This Team will be better by mid season .
Looking forward to the season . Guys just want to let you know that USA is Hosting World Cup Cricket and USA has won their both matches. They beat one of the favorite Pakistan. If they Beat Ireland they will move on to the Next round of 10 . The match can be watched on Ten Sports.
Diggs may have been an alpha but seeing Josh sitting on the bench during the Cincinnati game with Diggs being animated in front of him said a lot to me about Josh’s demeanor. Instead of developing an alpha complex, showing some bravado on the sidelines during a game may help. He does it on the field when things go well, he just needs to show it when things aren’t going well to help build the confidence of those around him. That’s what a great leader does.
Is he an Alpha? Josh is that dude. That fire and carelessness for his own physical well being is rare for a QB. However I don’t see him being that dude he’s going to call people out vocally. I think he’s just too respectful
I did see mahomes check rice during the superbowl. He tried pulling a diggs yelling he was open and mahomes put his ass in check right away. Screamed back at him and that was the end of it. If they had lost it would of been a way bigger story
Josh is already the alpha male on this team . This is HIS TEAM and his teammates know it. He's the reason all the free agents signed here in the first place ! Josh leads with his play on the field. Let the coaches do their job telling players to play the way they're coached...
He'll be fine. He will be put into situations this season where he'll feel let down and he'll realise he has to take charge. People find solutions when there's no safety net.
You don’t need to scream at people to intimidate them to get them to perform. Criticize and teach them what you want from them and you get more out of them.
I have been watching you guys for years. The interruption thing is kinda funny... what I noticed is that jennay interrupts more than you both, especially when Dan is talking and also Dan gets bullied. Idk, over the years I feel like this is what I have witnessed
Disagree with you there bout Josh’s leadership. He doesn’t need to be an arse, that’s not being alpha either. He doesn’t need to be Tom Brady or Manning for this Bills to be successful. Josh is an action alpha dog thats his leadership style and its sets up perfectly for him and the Bills for him to be that now
Genuine Question, when are these examples of where we needed Allen to be more of an "Alpha"?? For all the talk of him needing to be this type of vocal leader, I dont understand where this is coming from like its been something lacking and impacting games. If we look at the Playoffs this last season against the Chiefs, when was he suppose to be fiery and he wasnt?? At what moment were people looking for for him to get on someone?? Same question in the prior post season exits I just feel like this whole topic is a silly offseason narrative that really doesnt any measurable bearings why we have/and or havent made the leap. Unless Allen is gonna start being vocal yelling at defense/special teams, What is he suppose to handle any different that he doesnt already handle??
It seems like all the offseason moves were made to make sure that Josh feels like the top dog in the locker room and on the sidelines. Diggs' attitude undermined his leadership as I see it.
TOM BRADY WAS A GET IN YOUR FACE KIND OF GUY THAT'S LEADERSHIP. YOU NEVER GET THE BEST OUT OF PEOPLE BY ALWAYS BEING SOFT ON SCREW UP'S !! I DID IT IN THE MARINES, AND AS A REGIONAL MGR FOR A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY. IT'S CALLED ACCOUNTABILITY SOMETIMES YOU DO IT SOFTLY AND SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO BE HARSH!! IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL, AND THE CIRCUMSTANCE. "IF IT GONNA BE IT'S UP TO ME I ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY"!!! I LIVED BY THIS CREDO! GO BILLS!!! FRAZIER WAS TO SOFT.
18:00 Elam is more talented and has done more than some of the fan base is letting on . Benford benefits form a soft zone and elams best skill is being physical and handsy and they tell him don’t do that maybe they should enhance that skill and let him play to his strengths instead of tossing him in the bench
Are Golden Retrievers dominant? Many Goldens are naturally dominant - they will appear confident and stable but that doesn't mean it will lead to aggression.
IMO, forcing one to be who they are not naturally is not a good call! When they took his foot off the gas it was a disaster. Defense needs some Alphas as JA already took us to compete for SB! Mostly the soft ass defense coughed it up! Other than Bengals playoff loss, no one played well, D has been small!
Josh does need to make the other players accountable for their missteps. The last thing these offensive, AND defensive, players need is to feel like "hey, i dropped it, but Josh will pull out a wow play next time to dig us out of this hole". Josh has obviously had to perform "miracles" and carry every offense he's played on. But, he cant do it, and have a LONG and successful career.
I kind of think Josh is becoming the alpha now to an extent , with not giving Keon a hand shake it’s something little but it shows something. Unless it’s cause he’s a rookie
I would love to know the sports psychology behind whether being an ass to your subordinate teammates makes the team perform better than other approaches.
Josh needs to be the alpha male with this new group of receivers. Really want to see a Tom Brady or Payton Manning ass chewing if need. Hold all the receivers accountable.
Josh is a alpha on the field . I have no idea what he's like behind closed doors. He don't seem like a alpha off the field from a far. Seems like a fun guy. But that's why there's coaches they can do the screaming.
Hard for Allen to hold teammates responsible when he's a league leader in fumbles and INTs. Allen needs to fix that issue or being an alpha will be meaningless.
IMO Josh is a dog on the field he needs to carry that to the sideline with him and be more of a leader and hold his players accountable! Love the show as always! Go Bills !
I don’t think Allan is an alpha. I am one of his biggest fans being from Wyoming so I have been watching him for a long time. My one biggest criticism of Josh is that he doesn’t push the team hard enough. I want to see him lose his his shit on the side line and get seriously pissed off and fired up. To me that shows the passion and that’s when the Alpha emerges. The team feeds off of him and when he shows no fire, they have no fire.
Alpha's are born. One doesn't have to be an Alpha to be a leader. That said, when Alpha's are the leaders it usually takes the team, group, organization, etc to a higher level. I can't say for sure but it doesn't appear J Allen was born an Alpha.
Hot take. Josh Allen isn't a strong leader compared to other QBs he's going up against like Burrow Mahomes Rodgers etc. I hope he can grow as a leader but if he can't the Bills are in a tough spot.
What the HECK is wrong with Allen being more a Duncan than Kobe? More chips. I think expecting your leader to lead differently is a recipe For disaster.
Your leadership style needs to adjust to the personalities, experience of other players and what will inspire and motivate them to do better - bottom line - Josh needs to be true to himself - don't ask him to scream on sidelines - if that is not his personality
Did I miss a sale at Lens Crafters
That is an epic observation 😂
THAT was funny
😂

Diggs being there definitely was a clashing. Fresh start.
Jenna , can't wait for Josh on the 1st regular season game. Cheers for continuing to anchor Buffalo+! More woman power, lady!
I need more interruptions on all fronts. Glad to see Mike had the hands flying all over the place.
The intro clips are getting better! Short and sweet teasers that leave us wanting a bit more!!
‘Shit, or get off the pot!’ 🤣BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Youse guys!
This year Josh Allen has to turn himself into the Magic Johnson of the NFL! Get everyone involved and just keep dishing, make everyone better around him!
I think Allen is going to have his best year of career so far!
Let's go! 100% he is. He is a top player in the NFL
I love Josh but something that doesn’t get talked about enough is that he has to start taking more of those easy, open man passes underneath.

Tom Brady called him out on it. Just like telling him to slide. It's hard ....but possible.

Start praying and hoping for no injuries need healthy players at end of the year for a change

Great show
11:06 no other team is like that McDermott likes to extend his micromanaging and control to everything
I interrupt all of you all the time when I'm watching your show. And I'm good at it.
I feel like Mike interrupts everyone not just Jenna 😂

Hmmm . . . guess McDermott really WAS "concerned" last year . . . Diggs is now in Houston.
8:20 they were ragging on us cause our reporters and media have been saying Claypool has been the best we have rn
100% alpha
He'll be fine. He will be put into situations this season where he'll feel let down and he'll realise he has to take charge. People find solutions when there's no safety net.
Grandkids, or as I call them, My Revenge
You don’t need to scream at people to intimidate them to get them to perform. Criticize and teach them what you want from them and you get more out of them.
Flutie was an alpha
yes alpha all the way

31k nice job ya`ll
Not running full speed reps is a red flag, regardless of the time of year
It seems like all the offseason moves were made to make sure that Josh feels like the top dog in the locker room and on the sidelines. Diggs' attitude undermined his leadership as I see it.
Josh needs to be direct with the young players. " I need you to do this and to be here" etc.
Josh is the definition of alpha. He needs to dial down the niceness at certain times though. With Diggs gone there are no more arses to kiss.
TOM BRADY WAS A GET IN YOUR FACE KIND OF GUY THAT'S LEADERSHIP. YOU NEVER GET THE BEST OUT OF PEOPLE BY ALWAYS BEING SOFT ON SCREW UP'S !! I DID IT IN THE MARINES, AND AS A REGIONAL MGR FOR A FORTUNE 500 COMPANY. IT'S CALLED ACCOUNTABILITY SOMETIMES YOU DO IT SOFTLY AND SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO BE HARSH!! IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL, AND THE CIRCUMSTANCE. "IF IT GONNA BE IT'S UP TO ME I ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY"!!! I LIVED BY THIS CREDO! GO BILLS!!! FRAZIER WAS TO SOFT.
18:00 Elam is more talented and has done more than some of the fan base is letting on .

Did 13 WHAM finally start giving vision benefits or something?
Are Golden Retrievers dominant?
Many Goldens are naturally dominant - they will appear confident and stable but that doesn't mean it will lead to aggression.
Josh has to be Lt/Capt/Major Dick Winters
What everyone wants is for him to be more animated on the sideline. Is it needed? To finally take the next step it might be.
IMO, forcing one to be who they are not naturally is not a good call! When they took his foot off the gas it was a disaster. Defense needs some Alphas as JA already took us to compete for SB! Mostly the soft ass defense coughed it up! Other than Bengals playoff loss, no one played well, D has been small!
Josh -- Diggs = Leadership potential
Early drop????
Josh does need to make the other players accountable for their missteps. The last thing these offensive, AND defensive, players need is to feel like "hey, i dropped it, but Josh will pull out a wow play next time to dig us out of this hole". Josh has obviously had to perform "miracles" and carry every offense he's played on. But, he cant do it, and have a LONG and successful career.
Jenna seems to interrupt quite a bit
If Claypool cant make it work wit Josh bleepin Allen he doesent belong in NFL. I think he has his best year yet!
We're forgetting other alpha's that are gone....poyer, hyde, mitch morse too
No! Hell of a nice guy
You didn't mentioned Justin Shorter in this one. What is wrong with you?
I kind of think Josh is becoming the alpha now to an extent , with not giving Keon a hand shake it’s something little but it shows something. Unless it’s cause he’s a rookie
I would love to know the sports psychology behind whether being an ass to your subordinate teammates makes the team perform better than other approaches.
Nobody said Allen has to be a ass to his team mates but some players need a kick in the ass to get it going ng
Josh needs to be the alpha male with this new group of receivers. Really want to see a Tom Brady or Payton Manning ass chewing if need. Hold all the receivers accountable.
Josh is a alpha on the field . I have no idea what he's like behind closed doors. He don't seem like a alpha off the field from a far. Seems like a fun guy. But that's why there's coaches they can do the screaming.
Hard for Allen to hold teammates responsible when he's a league leader in fumbles and INTs. Allen needs to fix that issue or being an alpha will be meaningless.
Caitlin Clark Alpha!
IMO Josh is a dog on the field he needs to carry that to the sideline with him and be more of a leader and hold his players accountable! Love the show as always! Go Bills !
I don’t think Allan is an alpha. I am one of his biggest fans being from Wyoming so I have been watching him for a long time. My one biggest criticism of Josh is that he doesn’t push the team hard enough. I want to see him lose his his shit on the side line and get seriously pissed off and fired up. To me that shows the passion and that’s when the Alpha emerges. The team feeds off of him and when he shows no fire, they have no fire.
Alpha's are born. One doesn't have to be an Alpha to be a leader. That said, when Alpha's are the leaders it usually takes the team, group, organization, etc to a higher level. I can't say for sure but it doesn't appear J Allen was born an Alpha.
Dan & Mike, stop talking about Diggs, he's gone. Just motivate our new stars, like Kincaid & the new Center. Cheers Men!
Jenna is the alpha male of this show.
Hot take. Josh Allen isn't a strong leader compared to other QBs he's going up against like Burrow Mahomes Rodgers etc. I hope he can grow as a leader but if he can't the Bills are in a tough spot.
Josh Allen is more of a leader by example as opposed to someone who barks at guys.
He is a stud on the field. But not the type of guy to get in people's faces.
What the HECK is wrong with Allen being more a Duncan than Kobe? More chips. I think expecting your leader to lead differently is a recipe
For disaster.
hes not an alpha male i dont think maybe the contract gave him more confidence but i think hes a more lax one of the boys type
ESPN rated Bills receiver room 30th in league. No worry because we make up for it by having a truly crappy special team.
Your leadership style needs to adjust to the personalities, experience of other players and what will inspire and motivate them to do better - bottom line - Josh needs to be true to himself - don't ask him to scream on sidelines - if that is not his personality
For the algorithm
I dont think he has fit that alpha role thus far, leadership yes.. but he needs to be more so this year
What Josh needs is the “killer instinct”, not to be an a-hole. The 2 are different!!
