Remember when Josh Allen pretty much destroyed the Buffalo Bills all by himself last year?  Josh Allen has the physical gifts and football skill to be a #1 Edge Rusher.  Josh Allen as the ability to be a hall of famer.  You know what Josh Allen doesn't have?  He doesn't have the motivation.  You know who that falls on?  The gosh dilly arn Coaches!!!!  The coaches should be lighting a fire under Josh Allen's over pampered, Rudy Poo, Candy [BLEEP]!!!   

I'm old, there used to be this thing called NFL films.  Back in the day you'd see coaches get on HOF players.  You'd see Bill Parcells pushing Lawrence Taylor.  You'd see Bill Cowher laying into Gred Lloyd.  You'd see Marty Schottenheimer getting after the late great Derrick Thomas.

Some players need to be ridden like mules.  Some players don't have a fire inside them, but they have a spark that a great coach can fuel and create an inferno.  Josh Allen is that type of player.  He's not going to work on his own.  He's not a guy with fire that will take over a team and be the catalyst.  He needs a coach that's gonna kick him in the rear and focus him on the task at hand. 

It's not the players that are letting down this team.  There's enough here for at least a mediocre squad at the worst.  But we have a coaching staff on defense that has no idea how to get the best out of our players.  That's the problem here.

Remember Tom Coughlin? That management style doesn't work anymore.

Coughlin's problem in 2018 was that he hated on the entire team.  

The great coaches lit a fire under the greats via a 1on1 relationship....  

The distinction is important.

Josh Allen has never been pushed.  He's been coddled.  And look at his carreer.  Dude is a waste of space.  But he is a bust because the Jaguar organization never pushed him out of his comfort zone.
