GreggTX Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 This is great news! He owned up to last season long ago and has now impressed his new teamates with his renewed commitment and work ethic. Look for him to raise his game in 2019. That said, I think there could be some early struggles on the OL due to all the new faces there and all the shuffling and injuries that prevented working the starting 5 together much. Josh Allen was the other captain on offense. Lo and Edmunds were elected on D. Hauschka and Reid Ferguson on ST. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddicksTDLeap Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 This is great! I’m pumped to see the “C” on Allen and Edmunds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I know ppl were down on Dawkins after last year but I honestly think he is going to be fine and even get a 2nd contract from the bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Allen, Edmunds, Dawkins, and Oliver are the key to the success of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 He’ll be a calming influence when Beane gets AB...and no, that’s not a medical condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomark Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I like the Captain choices. After Zo retires, I'm guessing Hyde/Poyer step into that spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeKayAdams Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 This says a lot about the development of Dawkins and Edmunds as players and leaders in the locker room. I would have guessed Morse and Hyde instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By most people's assessment he did not play as well last year as he did his rookie year. However we have no idea what the impact of the trainwrecks at LG they played next to him, nor the playcalling. I think most on here are hopeful with Spain playing next to him, that Dawkins will have a solid year and earn a contract extension in the off-season. Some still feel he would be better at LG - based on what I have no idea. Best case scenario for Buffalo is that he plays like a top 10 LT and he gets paid somewhere around 5th highest contract a year before his contract is up. I take that back, best case scenario he plays like a top 3 LT and they pay him what he is worth. I don't see him as a top 3 LT but I can easily see him playing like a top 10 guy.

I'd be shocked actually if he doesn't re up here unlike Shaq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an important skill. I know it seems like it is a waste of a roster spot, but if the snap is not good, or it is not fast enough, every single punt would get blocked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the last LB or TE on the roster couldn't develop this skill? Used to be that all long snapping was done by a regular player. Are blocked punts down since that changed?
