Not stressing the deep ball

The hot-button topic for Bills quarterback Josh Allen is the long ball. He wasn’t good at it last season even though he has a strong arm and it’s part of the reason why the club felt the need to bring in wide receiver Stefon Diggs. It’s what he’s best at.

But Daboll said that forcing the deep ball is not in the cards for the Bills in 2020. Passes at every level are going to be of the same importance.

“There’s a variety of pass plays within most systems,” Daboll said. “Josh’s job is to throw it to the open receiver and make the right read and I’m confident in him.”

That thought very much lines up with what Allen said himself recently during training camp. What’s he focusing on most? Allen said his decision making and successfully completing shorter passes, too.
