Brady's Fear: Protecting Allen's Prime

0:00It's March 31st, welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Bill's head coach Joe Brady laid it out straight at the NFL League meetings. His biggest fear for star quarterback Josh Allen is all those brutal hits. He takes from scrambling. Allen got sacked a career high 40 times last season. And Brady says every time he hits the ground, it terrifies him. That's the flip side of what makes Allen elite, his insane rushing ability. Brady wants Allen dialing back the unnecessary contact, especially since he's built tough and takes pride in powering through. The plan's simple, slide feet first in scrambles and tweaked the number of design runs as the season unfolds to keep him safer. Fans and analysts get it. Allen's toughness has kept him starting through injuries, but at age 30, those risks add up fast. He's got an impressive streak of consecutive starts despite battling ailments over the years. Now Buffalo's shaking up the line with left guard David Edwards gone in free agency.

1:00They're eyeing familiar guy Alec Anderson or new free agent Austin Corbett to plug that hole and give Allen better protection. It's all about smarter decisions from Allen and the team managing his style as he hits the prime of his career. Keeping that MVP fire lit without the constant beatdowns.
