Quarterback Josh Allen is not the only Buffalo Bills player excited to see quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey promoted.
Dorsey was named the Bills’ offensive coordinator on Tuesday. He replaces Brian Daboll, who was hired as the New York Giants’ head coach.
Dorsey goes from quarterbacks coach to his new OC role. Buffalo wide receiver Gabriel Davis clearly does not mind one bit that his new coach was not his personal positional coach prior to the upgrade.
On the Richard Sherman Podcast, Davis was absolutely excited about Dorsey being the one to take the position, even if he still holds Daboll in a very high regard.
“I love Dorse. Dorse is a smart guy. I feel like that’s what we knew was gonna happen when Dabs left– and Dabs is the best OC. Dabs knows how to dice it up,” Davis said. “But I got a lot of faith in Dorsey as well. Obviously because you know Dorsey has been in the same room with (Daboll) as well and Dorse thinks like that on the sideline as well. Super excited to have Dorse.”
Davis took to social media after the news of Dorsey’s promotion and expressed a positive review. But prior to Dorsey being hired, Allen was the one that caught headlines. The quarterback gave a big endorsement.
“I think when he got here three years ago my career definitely changed. In terms of just how I viewed football and to have a guy in the room that played the game,” Allen said. “Just the way that he approaches the game, he’s competitive, smart, he works his a– off. I appreciate what he’s done for me in my career so far… again, wherever the chips fall.”
Where things ended up falling into place was with Dorsey now steering the ship that is Buffalo’s offense for the foreseeable future.
Further adding to his Dorsey praise in a way was Davis’s thoughts on how his team expects next season to go. In a word: Far.
“I feel like the expectation is the same. We know our goal, we know what we have to do to get there,” Davis said.
The bar is clearly high for Dorsey heading into his first season as offensive coordinator. A good thing for Buffalo.
