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:

One play Sunday against the Jets revealed something about Sam Cosmi

Sam Cosmi has been Washington’s best offensive player recently. Last week, one play really stood out.

There was one play Sunday against the Jets and revealed something about Sam Cosmi.

It is much easier to play hard when things are going well, your team is ahead in a game. A much tougher test is when you are trailing badly in a game, you are tempted to just go through the motions, hoping to get the game concluded and get out of there without an injury.

Sunday, the Jets were embarrassing the Commanders in the third quarter, leading 27-7. The Commanders had the ball at their own 29-yard line with under 9 minutes remaining in the quarter, having been given a first down when the Jets’ Brandon Echols was guilty of illegal contact and a five-yard penalty.

What transpired on first down really caught my attention. Quarterback Sam Howell, back from the center, took the snap out of the air, dropped back two steps, looked left, and immediately attempted a pass to Jamison Crowder. Crowder was running a quick slant from the left side to the left hash marks. Howell missed badly, the pass visibly behind Crowder.

Suddenly two players, a Commander and a Jet, went crashing to the turf. Both players also just as quickly hopped up off of the turf, energized. The Jet was defensive tackle Micheal Clemons (#72) out of Texas A&M. The Commander was right guard Sam Cosmi a former Texas Longhorn.

During the play, the two had been matched up against one another. On this particular play, regardless of the score, Cosmi got into Clemons and drove the 270-pounder off of the ball and into the turf on his back. Clemons was upset and hopped up toward Cosmi.

Cosmi, on the other hand, visibly enjoyed the play and had a hop to his step as well when he gleefully headed back to the huddle for the next play.

It was good to see Cosmi not simply settling for protecting Howell on the play. No, Cosmi wanted to accomplish more on the play, and he exerted more effort to bring about his dominance on the play.

Just a single play, down 27-7. Yes, but it also revealed something of the heart in Sam Cosmi to compete hard despite the score, finding another way to win on that play.

Cosmi has been outstanding recently.

Jets lineman Micheal Clemons had a hilarious (and very NSFW!) message for Browns fans during the game

Micheal Clemons didn’t have any love for Browns fans, clearly.

Saying the Jets and Browns Thursday Night Football game wasn’t the most competitive matchup we’ve ever seen might be putting it kindly.

The Browns hung 37 points up on New York. It wasn’t close. It was never competitive. At least not on the field, anyway.

But on the sideline? There was plenty of animosity going around. Especially coming from one Micheal Clemons.

The Jets defensive lineman had a very NSFW message for Browns fans sitting in the stands during the game. He pointed them out each one by one on the sideline to deliver the message, too. It was short and succinct. Simply two words.

“[Expletive] you.” Yes, seriously.

WARNING: There is some very NSFW language in this video. 

This is hilarious, man. Tell them how you really feel, Clemons. Browns fans seemed to enjoy this from the stands — whoever was recording the video was chuckling the entire time.

Honestly, I can’t blame Clemons for this. If my team was getting destroyed the way the Jets were, I’d probably be upset about it, too.

In the end, they all got the last laugh. So I’m sure they’re satisfied with the results.

5 takeaways from Jets’ dreadful 34-13 loss to Dolphins

Here are 5 takeaways from the Jets’ lopsided 34-13 defeat to the Dolphins in Week 12.

The New York Jets are steadily falling to the wayside in the AFC playoff race following a devastating 34-13 defeat to the Miami Dolphins on Friday. With another loss on the schedule, the Jets have lost four consecutive games and own a 4-7 record.

Even with a quarterback change, it was more of the same from New York’s offense. The entire game was perfectly illustrated with the Jets recording an interception on defense then Tim Boyle immediately throwing a pick-six on a Hail Mary right before halftime.

For yet another embarrassing loss for the Jets, here are our five immediate takeaways from the team’s Week 12 matchup against the Dolphins.

Jets, Bills players involved in post-game skirmish in hallway

Jets, Bills players involved in post-game skirmish in hallway

Frustration started settling in during the Jets’ 32-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills Sunday. Those frustrations started carrying over as the teams headed to the locker room after the game.

As the teams were in the hallway following the game, players from both teams were involved in a skirmish. Jets defensive lineman Micheal Clemons and Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver were among those involved along with Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins.

Clemons had to be calmed down on his way to the locker room. He eventually left the locker room as reporters began making their way over to ask him about the incident.

This was the cherry on top of an extremely embarrassing night for the Jets, who are now 4-6 and slowly watching their season fade away. New York has to quickly turn around. They host the Miami Dolphins on Friday so cooler heads have to prevail and soon.

Jets Week 6 inactives: Micheal Clemons out, Carl Lawson and Mecole Hardman back in

Jets Week 6 inactives: Micheal Clemons out, Carl Lawson and Mecole Hardman back

The Jets announced their inactives for Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In a bit of a surprise, the Jets are not dressing defensive lineman Micheal Clemons Sunday. In his place, Carl Lawson is back in the lineup as is wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who recently said he just wants to play whether that’s with the Jets or someone else. We’ll see if he plays today.

It was already known that the Jets would be without three of their top cornerbacks in Sauce Gardner, D.J. Reed and Brandin Echols. Bryce Hall and Craig James will start for the Jets.

The other three inactives have been inactive all season and will continue to do so Sunday: WR Jason Brownlee, LB Zaire Barnes and RB Israel Abanikanda.

Micheal Clemons named to PFF’s All-Breakout team for 2023

Is Micheal Clemons set for a breakout year?

The 2022 draft class for the New York Jets is already off to a strong start thanks to two of their three first-round picks, CB Sauce Gardner and WR Garrett Wilson, winning Rookies of the Year, marking the first time players from the same team claimed both awards.

The Jets hope their 2022 rookie class continues to take steps forward in 2023. One of those players is being viewed by Pro Football Focus as a potential breakout candidate this season.

PFF’s Jim Wyman recently came up with an All-Breakout team for 2023, players that can become household names this season. Among the players on the team is New York’s fourth-round pick from last season, defensive end Micheal Clemons.

Here’s what Wyman wrote about Clemons:

As a rookie fourth-rounder in 2022, Clemons didn’t start a single game but was effective when he did appear on the field. While not a finished product as a pass-rusher, as his 58.6 pass-rush grade can attest to, Clemons was very stout as a run defender, putting up an 86.4 run-defense grade and an 81.5 tackling grade. If Clemons can add some more pass-rush moves to his repertoire, he could form a dangerous edge trio alongside Jermaine Johnson II and Carl Lawson.

Clemons recorded 2.5 sacks as a rookie while playing in all 16 games as a rookie. He and Johnson could be set for bigger roles this season, even with Lawson sticking around and the Jets drafting Will McDonald in the first round this past April.

The top of the Jets’ 2022 class is already fun to watch. Clemons is hoping to add even more fun throughout the class.

John Franklin-Myers, Micheal Clemons could see more work inside

More inside work possibly coming for JFM and Clemons.

The Jets have a lot of bodies on the edge to help rush the passer. That includes first-round pick Will McDonald IV. They say you can never have enough pass-rushers in the NFL. Sometimes, you even can move those rushers inside and let them just go right up the middle.

The Jets could potentially test that with John Franklin-Myers (five sacks in 2022) and Micheal Clemons (2.5 sacks). Both already have the ability to move inside if need be and they could be asked to do so even more in 2023.

Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich spoke to the media this week and talked about that possibility.

“JFM obviously has done that (playing interior) his entire career. I’ve always believed that’s kind of his superpower when you reduce inside on passing downs and let him work guards and do his thing in there. And I think Mike has the same ability. Mike is, as you’ve probably seen, he’s not a small man. I don’t know exactly what he was weighing last year, but he’s in the 290’s, I think, so he’s a guy that could easily reduce inside and have a lot of success in there. He’s a guy that’s a good athlete outside, but he’s a great athlete inside, so it’ll be fun to see him get work at both.”

Ulbrich also touched on Clemons being in a good spot being at about 290 pounds.

“I think ultimately that’s kind of like the JFM big end type role where on first and second down, he can absolutely demolish the edge and be a great edge setter and do all that and still provide some rush out there, but then on the passing downs, utilizing his athleticism and speed on the guards and centers.”

The Jets also recently restructured the contract of Franklin-Myers, showing a bit of faith in the 26-year-old.

Behind Quinnen Williams, New York also has Quinton Jefferson, Al Woods, Solomon Thomas, Tanzel Smart, Marquiss Spencer and Isaiah Mack at defensive tackle. Franklin-Myers and Clemons could also help with depth there.

The more the Jets can move around their defensive linemen, the more versatile the defense can be and the better the team will be overall in what is shaping up to be a big season for the Jets, at least they hope.

Jets vs. Bills final injury report: Micheal Clemons (questionable) only player with game designation

Only Micheal Clemons is questionable for Sunday

As far as active players go, the Jets’ final injury report is about as clean as it can be, especially for Week 14.

The Jets only gave one player a game designation for Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. In fact, only one player even remained on the injury report after Friday’s practice. That player was Micheal Clemons, who wound up missing all week of practice with the flu. He is listed as questionable for Sunday.

Everyone else — including Duane Brown, Ashtyn Davis, Corey Davis, George Fant, Lamarcus Joyner and DJ Reed — practiced in full Friday. All the players mentioned began the week on the injury report but were taken off the report Friday.

For the Bills, two key players will miss Sunday. Fullback Reggie Gilliam (ankle) and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (shoulder) have been ruled out after missing practice all week.

Two other key players for the Bills are questionable but did trend in the right direction Friday. Offensive tackle Dion Dawkins (ankle) practiced in full Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday while linebacker Matt Milano is questionable with a knee injury but was upgraded to a limited practice after missing Wednesday and Thursday’s practices.

 

Jets Thursday report: As flu bug starts to wear off, just about all looking good while Micheal Clemons remains out

Only Micheal Clemons missed practice Thursday

The flu bug caused four players to miss practice on Wednesday for the New York Jets. Three of those players returned to practice Thursday. Corey Davis, George Fant and DJ Reed all were listed as limited participants Thursday, but an upgrade nonetheless from Wednesday and they are trending in the right direction for Sunday against the Bills.

The one player that hasn’t returned yet is Micheal Clemons, who missed his second day of practice this week but still has a chance to return Friday.

The rest of the injury report was the same as Wednesday. Duane Brown (shoulder), Ashtyn Davis (hamstring) and Lamarcus Joyner (hip) were all limited again Thursday but all should be good for Sunday.
