26CornerBlitz Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 2018 NFL Breakout Players: Here's a look at 10 who are poised for big things this season Dion Dawkins, T, Bills With Cordy Glenn bothered by foot and ankle injuries most of last season, Dawkins started 11 games as a rookie at left tackle. Dawkins did a nice job in protection and was especially good in the run game, which led to the Bills trading Glenn to the Bengals in the spring. Dawkins' ability to move players off the ball helped LeSean McCoy run through big holes. Dawkins also improved in pass protection the more he played. He did have a few rough spots, but he has the look of a player who will be a longtime starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Fixit Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I really like Dawkins. I think he’s got the potential to be a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Members may not agree but I will say it anyway.... Richie Incognito had a lot to do with his success last year, hoping he can adjust. Lining up next to an Pro Bowl player certainly did not hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 We are gonna find out. I thought Dawkins was our best player last year and I think Groy is gonna slip right into that spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that Richie being next to Eric Wood helped him immensely. I definitely seen a decline in Richie's play last year compared to 2016. Lot of holding penalties in his tenure. He's a pro-bowler but I think the reason he wants to retire is because he's mediocre without Wood. I thought Dawkins was actually the OL for the Bills last season.

Let's try and keep this one. We love to develop LT's and trade them. Edited May 22, 2018 by TheTruthHurts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansLanda Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Isn't our general opinion on Prisco less than favorable? I need to see more of Dion before going this far... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Prisco sucks. Little man syndrome. That said, Dawkins is the best offensive move this new regime has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the "steal of the draft" in some circles (Teller) may alleviate that concern of yours. Regardless, for a rookie Dawkins did an excellent job and should only get better! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Dawkins is going to have a great year. He is big, athletic, strong, quick and nasty. He is my favourite player on Offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trainers did get a lot of practice with rehabilitation. I am going thru PT now and my therapist is always looking for new ways to treat me and I am sure Bills' trainers do same thing.

My son tore his ACL and MCL in HS football. The first therapist treated him like an old lady, which delayed surgery. He went to an amazing therapist next who worked to get his quad strength back up pre-surgery, then handled him post-surgery. He was playing in a basketball tournament 5 months after surgery. AMAZING stuff! That guy is now at UVA doing research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
