Dion Dawkins says Josh Allen has barked ‘a lot more’ since Bills’ roster turnover: ‘Very, very verbal’

Left tackle Dion Dawkins told The Herd on Wednesday that with younger players playing key roles, particularly on offense, Allen has “barked” a bit more than in past years.

“Josh is one of those guys that will do what it takes at that moment,” Dawkins said. “He’s definitely a barker when that time comes. I’ve actually seen the bark a lot more this OTAs where he’s been very, very verbal, because our team is different. It’s different. We’ve got some young dudes that, when they come in, they see a little bit of success, and they can change, so Josh is doing exactly what he should.”

The turnover in Buffalo has the Bills leaning even more on Allen in 2024. That includes as a vocal leader.
