Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins had a message for Josh Allen's doubters after the team's Week 1 win.
For a player who is unequivocally one of the NFL’s most talented and prolific, there’s an odd amount of discourse suggesting thatquarterback Josh Allen is unworthy of his standing among the league’s elite.
instead telling Adam Schein that he viewed it as a “term of endearment” and that he was “just going to keep playing football the way know how to play it.”And play football the way he knows how to play it is exactly what he did in Buffalo’s Week 1 win over the Arizona Cardinals, totaling four touchdowns as he passed for 232 yards and rushed for another 39.
The touchdown hurdle expectedly sparked a lively reaction from his teammates, with three-time Pro Bowl left tackle Dion Dawkins being among those who were excited by Allen’s score. He spoke about his quarterback’s touchdown after the game, essentially telling naysayers that their schtick is tiresome.“He shocks me every time,” Dawkins said. “When he gets airborne, I’m like, ‘Josh, please bro, please.’ But he does it. It looks good, it feels good, and he gets up.
Buffalo’s starter at left tackle since midway through his 2017 rookie season, Dawkins has protected Allen’s blindside throughout the entirety of the passer’s professional career; he’s, thus, watched the quarterback develop from an athletically gifted, but mechanically unrefined passer into a worldbeater of a player, an individual who teammates can’t help but want to play for.
