Buffalo Bills fans hold their breath whenever quarterback Josh Allen takes a hit. Over the course of his career, both general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott have commented on Allen taking some pretty serious knocks.

“In truth, Josh has always known it,” Beane said in May. “That’s where it comes back to me, making sure I provide him the protection up front and the weapons to let these guys make the plays.”

To date, Allen has gotten up from most hits. However, he’s begun to change his tune this offseason. Even more so now.

Previously it felt as if Allen was just thinking of sliding more. Get on the move but just avoid taking a shot.

Speaking with Barstool Sports, Allen went even further. He revealed there’s more of a focus on him becoming a pocket passer moving forward.

“I’m trying to transition to being the guy that wins from the pocket,” Allen said.

Could that signal a big change to Allen’s playing style? He has run the ball at least 102 times in each of the past four seasons and has surpassed 750 rushing yards the past two seasons.
