Bills’ Dion Dawkins gives NSFW thoughts on Jets’ Micheal Clemons: ‘B—- boy’

NSFW Dion Dawkins interview…

Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins gave some very candid, NSFW comments about New York Jets defensive lineman Micheal Clemons.

The two do have a history together as dust ups between the Bills and Jets involving them both have occured. On one occasion, Clemons was ejected from a game. In another, Dawkins and Clemons got into a shoving match in the tunnel of Highmark Stadium after the final whistle.

However, Dawkins really let people know how he felt speaking to Vlad TV.

Dawkins went on to explain how much he “hates” the Jets, and specifically on Clemons, Dawkins called him a “B—- boy,” and then some.

Dawkins and his very free speaking, two-minute interview clip can be found below:

Underdogs to watch in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season

Touchdown Wire’s Laurie Fitzpatrick goes to the film to predict some underdogs bound to shine in their Week 1 NFL matchups

As the 2022 NFL regular season gets underway, there are a few under dogs who are bound to stand out in week one.

It’s no fun to point out the Pro Bowl players or elite starters who have already made a name for themselves. Instead, there are some under-the-radar starters and second-string players who will have a chance this week to prove their dominance. Whether it’s a favorable matchup versus their opponent or continuing their performance from preseason, these are a few guys to keep our eyes on.

Let’s go to the film and check them out!

Giants’ Tyrod Taylor carted to locker room after taking big hit

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor left the Week 4 preseason game with an apparent back injury after taking a big hit.

It’s the final preseason game of 2022, and the New York Giants already have a laundry list of injuries. The Giants opted not to play starting quarterback Daniel Jones today, likely in light of the offensive line injuries, so Tyrod Taylor got the nod. Unfortunately, toward the end of the first quarter, Taylor took a big hit.

Taylor was leading the Giants on a drive when he scrambled to the right after coming under pressure. New York Jets defensive end Michael Clemons. At 6-foot-5 and 270 pounds, Clemons is considerably larger than Taylor’s 6-foot-1, 217-pound frame.

Taylor managed to jog off the field but was taken to the medical tent for further evaluation and eventually carted to the locker room with an apparent back injury.

Taylor has been in the NFL since 2011 but has largely been a backup save for his three years with the Buffalo Bills. Slated to continue his role as a backup with the Giants doesn’t make his injury any less devastating. Third-string quarterback Davis Webb stepped in for Taylor.

3 players to watch in Jets’ second preseason game

A couple of players ready to shine in the national spotlight Monday.

With the possibility of the Jets not playing their starters Monday against the Falcons, there are some players who now have more of a chance to really make a statement and make their case for the 53-man roster, or at the very least, the practice squad. Let’s take a look at a couple of those players to keep an eye on in the national spotlight.

NFL Preseason Week 1: Where to watch the Texas A&M rookie debuts

NFL Preseason Week 1: Where to watch the Texas A&M rookie debuts

Football season is finally here! With the 2022 college football season starting in 15 days, and Texas A&M kicking off their season on September 3rd, the NFL Preseason Week 1 is officially upon us. Let’s take a short trip back to late April during the 2022 NFL Draft, as four former Aggies were taken in the 1st, 3rd, and 4th rounds, while several notable players were signed as undrafted free agents days after the conclusion of the draft. Here are the players drafted this year, and those ready to make their NFL debut this weekend:

  • Round 1, Pick 15 for the Houston Texans: Guard, Kenyon Green.
  • Round 3, Pick 84 for the Pittsburgh Steelers: Defensive lineman, DeMarvin Leal
  • Round 4, Pick 117 for the New York Jets: Defensive end, Micheal Clemons
  • Round 4, Pick 123 for the Los Angeles Chargers: Running back, Isaiah Spiller
  •   UDFA for the Tennessee Titans: Defensive lineman, Jayden Peevy,
  • UDFA for the Pittsburgh Steelers: Defensive end, Tyree Johnson (recently cut)
  • UDFA for the San Franciso 49ers: Safety, Leon O’Neal (recently cut)
  • UDFA for the Dallas Cowboys: Linebacker, Aaron Hansford (recently cut)
  • UDFA for the Green Bay Packers; Offensive lineman, Jahmir Johnson (early cut)

Look for Green, Leal, Clemson, and Spiller to shine as they look to earn their spot with the franchise that took a chance on them, continuing to show the toughness and relentless workmanship developed during their time at Texas A&M. Now, here is the game, place, and time each player will be appearing in this weekend.

2022 NFL Draft: Michael Clemons selected 117th overall by the New York Jets

Clemons marks the 3rd Aggie off the board in the NFL Draft.

The third Aggie has been selected in the 2022 NFL draft, as the New York Jets, with head coach Robert Saleh and his amazing track record with defensive linemen, have selected Texas A&M defensive end Michael Clemons with the 117th overall pick in the 4th round.

Clemons’ best trait is his length and his motor, which Saleh will be able to use well lined up in wide techniques rushing the passer.  Clemons is part of a massive draft haul for the Jets, joining three first round picks, including fellow pass rusher Jermaine Johnson.

Clemons should have a chance to play a role immediately and develop into a starter down the line.

At 6’5″ 263 pounds, Clemons has traits that the NFL loves, and that’s reflected in this draft slot. Congratulations to Michael and his family.

NFL Draft 2022: Which Aggies should hear their names called on Day 3?

Which Aggies should hear their names called on Day 3?

In the last two nights, 105 players have been selected in the NFL draft, in a bit of a surprise, only two of those players, Kenyon Green, who was selected 15th overall by the Houston Texans, and defensive lineman DeMarvin Leal who was picked 84th by the Pittsburgh Steelers, attended Texas A&M University. Many draft pundits believed atleast a third Aggie would be selected by the end of the second day. Now it seems as though the third and final day will be the day of the Aggies as we expect to see six Aggies picked before Mr. Irrelevant’s name is called in Las Vegas.

 

2022 NFL draft: Which A&M players are waiting to hear their name called?

2022 NFL draft: Which A&M players are waiting to hear their name called?

The first day and first round of the 2022 NFL draft are officially over, with 32 men hearing their names called and ready to start their professional football careers. For Texas A&M, offensive lineman Kenyon Green became the first of hopefully a number of Aggies drafted, selected 15th overall by the Houston Texans, staying close to home and looking to make an impact right away.

With seven other Aggies looking to be drafted on day two and day three, teams will be eyeing areas of need to supplement their rosters, and with this being one of the more talented A&M draft classes, teams will be getting a steal in later rounds, as we see every year after the first round concludes. Let’s see who’s left before the second and third rounds begin.

Commanders hosted a pair of defenders on top 30 visits

Perrion Winfrey is expected to land somewhere in the second round.

The Washington Commanders continue to host defensive players on some of their top 30 visits. After hosting star Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton earlier this week, the Commanders were busy hosting a pair of defensive linemen.

According to Ben Standig of The Athletic, the Commanders hosted Texas A&M edge rusher Michael Clemson and Oklahoma defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey recently.

The Commanders are doing their diligence on defensive linemen after losing two key backups at defensive tackle in Matt Ioannidis and Tim Settle. Washington has outstanding starters in Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne but virtually no depth behind them.

Winfrey is expected to go sometime on day two. The Senior Bowl MVP had a terrific senior season for the Sooners, recording 11 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks. If Washington selected Winfrey, he’d likely be a potential replacement for Payne if the former first-round pick isn’t re-signed after the 2022 season.

Clemons was productive for the Aggies the last two seasons, recording 15.5 tackles for loss and 11 sacks since 2020. He’d provide depth behind Chase Young and Montez Sweat, along with free-agent signee Efe Obada and James Smith-Williams.

The Commanders are clearly looking for defensive line depth in this draft and don’t be surprised if they take one earlier than fans anticipate.
