Widely recognized as one of the top players in his position, Allen aims to refine his performance further. Despite his impressive stats, including four consecutive seasons with over 4,000 passing yards, Allen acknowledges areas for improvement, particularly in reducing turnovers like his 18 interceptions last season.
To address these inefficiencies, Allen is leveraging advanced sports science technology from Biometerek, a company specializing in biomechanical movement analysis. Using 3D motion capture systems, Allen and other quarterbacks can analyze and enhance their throwing mechanics. This approach has proven effective for Allen, who has been using Biometerek’s system since 2020, the year he posted his best statistics with 4,500 passing yards, 37 touchdowns, and only 10 interceptions.
Allen emphasizes the importance of understanding and refining his throwing motion, especially after experiencing injuries that altered his technique. The data from Biometerek’s high-speed cameras helps him adjust and optimize his movements, aiming for greater consistency and efficiency in his throws. Allen believes that by trusting the data and focusing on the feel of his motions, he can overcome the changes caused by his shoulder and elbow issues.
As the Bills participate in offseason activities and prepare for the upcoming season, Allen continues to work on his mechanics. He acknowledges the evolution of his throwing style since his high school and college days, describing the changes as significant but not a complete overhaul. This ongoing refinement is crucial as Allen and the Bills strive to improve their performance and aim for a more successful season, starting with their home game against the Arizona Cardinals on September 8.
