You obviously can’t read, the article said he lost the weight in 5 weeks. Then they put him on a more conventional diet. so let’s break this down. what is everyone freaking out about? an offensive lineman put on some weight, probably comparable to about 15 pounds for me and you. Lost it in 5 weeks, don’ spent the rest of the off-season, approximately 5 months getting ready for the season! We are freaking out over a guy who showed up to training camp in shape for the season!! Because that is the reality of the situation. now I’m not arguing he is the best left tackle in football. sure the bills can do better and maybe they will, when they have the cap space. but at this point he is out left tackle and if anybody read the rest of the article I am expecting a great season from him based on what he said. after all, all the info we have on this subject came from this article. everyone choose to focus on the negative, not unexpected on here, but if you actually read the whole article he said he knows he needs to be all pro, not just pro bowl. With him knowing that I would expect he put in the work over the last 5 months to achieve that goal. i personally don’t care if guys spend the first 6 weeks or so of the off season getting away from football and all that goes with it to get a mental and physical break. Get your mind right and get back at it. Considering we are all bills fans, I think, all we can do is root for him

Seriously? You think he doesn’t work hard? You think he’d be where he’s at without working hard? You think the bills would give him a second contract if he didn’t work hard? again, this is a thread about an offensive linemen that came to camp in shape. He put weight on which for a man his size was not like it would be for me and you, lost it by the end of the first week of April or so according to the article, and continued for the next 5 months to get ready for this season. did the article say he was not in shape last season? did the article say he didn’t work hard? Please point this out to me. Where do you get this info? Did you watch him in the weight room? At the closed practices? I didn’t think so! do you people even know where he was ranked last year? out of 160 starting offensive linemen in the nfl, that’s all guards centers and tackles for those who jumped Thru too many tables and don’t comprehend, he ranged 22nd in run blocking and 38th overall. He gave up 3 sacks. Not bad for a down year. Not great, room for improvement, but not nearly as bad as people are trying to make him out to be. Not even close. You are trying hard and failing. There is a reason he is making millions in the nfl and you are a hater on a message board.

People trying to make something of nothing. He clearly said there wasn’ta thing. You can tell he has never lifted weights or watched film in his life. On the same level as Johnny menziel.

An offensive linemen gaining weight early in the off season and losing wrist before the season starts? How many times you think that has happened in the nfl? Are you kidding me? And people are losing the mind over it? That’s the problem, people with no life hating on Dawkins for getting in shape before the season started.

Right about now!

I’ve seen about 10 penalty’s so far! mic’ed up the parents now? Gtfo!

Did anybody actually read the article? He put on 40 pounds by the end of February. Went on an extreme diet, lost all that weight in 5 weeks! That’s like the first week of April. He’s been on a more conventional diet since. Plenty of time to get his strength back. That’s 5 months. And just cause somebody has body fat does not mean they are not strong, in shape or quick and agile! Some people are just freaks of nature. a friend of mine is about 6-3 200lbs and wash board abs, dunk a Bball, quick as a cat. He likes to mess with his brother 6-3 or so also, easily over 300lbs. So skinny ripped guy messes with big bro and takes off running, big bro catches him. Big bro is quick and fast. Freak of nature.

Is there any other good message board anyone knows of?

15-2. Sweep the division.

I don’t get the negativity this time of year either? This should be the time for optimism. Everyone is healthy they made some nice additions. And most of all Fraizer is gone!

I agree. You just have to consider the source. I have been fighting it on another message board. It’s a waste of time. I got to the point I told people I’m not there to change their mind, I don’t want them to change who they are. You know when the bills do good they will be cheering saying I told you so.

You can’t get upset about it. I just read some posts on message boards and think yup now I know who is jumping thru tables.

Considering he was the one holding them back I would say he’s right.

I like people who are doom and gloom to stay there. I don’t try to change anyone’s mind. If there can’t look at a roster and evaluate it, so be it. Not to mention we are better just by our players being healthy. Let’s hope they can stay healthy!

Allowed 4 sacks and had 9 penalties in his two years at Chicago. 25 games played with 23 starts.

You think we’re going to get great back up right now? lol

That’s great. Still a lot of silly speculation, especially if they are not losing money.

A lot of speculation in here. Maybe he just realized it was a bad idea and losing money?

I think he’s got that down. Way too much being made of this. Certainly not the first head coach to call plays!

He has Wyatt teller written all over him. Buffalo can’t figure out how to use him, he gets traded and becomes an all pro.

Nice drive. I’ve seen enough of the starters.

People don’t get this. They put the ball in the air a lot, it’s going to happen. The other guys are getting paid also. There were some ugly red zone picks, I just hope he cuts down on them, that’s what killed us. The rest I’m not too worried about.

This is actually what I was thinking. I didn’t want Josh to play because of it, I was afraid of them going after him. Thank you old man for a more balanced write up and review. i know I’ve never seen the bills play a bad first quarter and then dominate the rest of the game lol. The difference last night? The starters got pulled. After that I don’t care what happened. also did they game plan? Did the players sleep walk through a meaningless preseason game so they don’t get hurt? Too many variables to put any stock into this game! how do you judge anything in a preseason game? i will just sit back and laugh at everyone going for the razor blades.

To a degree. I learned watching hockey that players will sleep walk through Game. They know this game is meaningless and don’t want to get hurt. RT and MLB I’m a little worried about but not losing sleep yet. The sky is not falling.

I don’t really want Allen playing after the beat down he put on them last year. I am afraid they will want some pay back and take some cheap shots even tho it’s preseason.
