When Josh Allen made an appearance on Tom Brady’s “Let’s Go!” podcast, the future hall of fame QB gave the star quarterback a bit of advice: slide when running the football.
“Because he (Allen) makes a lot of plays running ball, I think sometimes he gets used to and he wants to run it because he knows he can gain yards. There’s a lot of confidence in it,” Brady said. “But the only problem is, from my standpoint, you’re putting yourself in harm’s way. And when you put yourself in harm’s way, it doesn’t take much for someone to land on you to set you back.”
Brady also added “Not that he shouldn’t run, but when he does run, (expletive) slide and make sure no one hits you because I don’t ever want to see him get hurt and I want to see him out there playing out there because he’s such a {expletive) stud.”

Brady, who played well into his mid-40s, for the most part, had a healthy career except for one season when he tore his ACL in 2008 and had to sit out the whole season.
However, Allen admitted that might be hard for him to do.
“That’s where the flip for me is so hard to turn off because I just care so much about winning football games and sometimes it does cause the risk to be a little bit higher than maybe even the reward,” Allen said.
Now with Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers both likely gone for all or most of this season, Allen needs to listen to Brady’s advice.
