Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen did not hold back his excitement this past week about a potential opportunity that came across his desk.. or locker room stall.
The Bills rounded up their preseason with a 28-27 comeback win against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. It was known Allen would not play like many other starters. But if given the opportunity, Allen really wanted to call plays.
"I'd like to think I'm a pretty balanced play caller," Allen said. "Explosive play caller."
There were some fireworks as quarterback Shane Buechele circled the wagons with some help from rookie receiver Skyler Bell & Co. Was that Allen's doing as the play caller?
Buffalo head coach Joe Brady joked at his post-game press conference that Allen was the one calling
the shots throughout the entire fourth quarter... but alas, it truly was a joke. Allen did not get a chance to call plays in the end.
"There was a lot going on in that game," Brady said. "Some of the situations I'd be asking what he's thinking there. We had a lot of that communication.
"We had a lot of moving parts offensive line wise, a lot of moving parts with what they're doing defensively in this game. I was like, 'you know what Josh? Let me take this.'"
Maybe next time, Josh.
