Bills Star Tackle Called Out After Trashing Jets: โ€˜I Hate All of Themโ€™

The Buffalo Bills postseason journey once again came to an abrupt end after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional round. However, itโ€™s another rival team that Bills star Dion Dawkins really despises.

In an interview with VladTV, Dawkins sounded off on Buffaloโ€™s AFC East foe, the New York Jets. While the Jets beat the Bills 22-16 in Week 1, Buffalo crushed New York 32-6 in Week 11. While the Billsโ€™ three-time Pro Bowler takes particular issue with Jets defensive tackle Michael Clemons, he โ€œhatesโ€ most of the team.

When asked what particularly bothers him about the Jets, โ€œWeirdos being weird,โ€ Dawkins said. โ€œI donโ€™t even want to give a man no credit talking about him. But No. 72. Michael Clemons, B**** boy. Uhm. B**** boy. But Iโ€™m going to keep it above, I hate them. All of them, bro.

โ€œWhen it comes to sports, thereโ€™s people that play the sport because they love the sport, and then thereโ€™s people that play the sport just to try to be cool. I feel like they play the sport to try and be cool. Those are a bunch of dudes who just want to take pictures on Instagram. Thatโ€™s whack. I play because I die by it.โ€

The Billsโ€™ $58.3 million star did make exceptions for Quinnen Williams, โ€œI respect the dude,โ€ former head coach Todd Bowles, and defensive assistant Ryan Davis. โ€œThe rest of them? donโ€™t care. Donโ€™t like you.โ€

Dawkinsโ€™ comments caused a stir on X, formerly known as Twitter. While some people balked at the trash talk, many people loved it. Jets analyst Will Parkinson was conflicted. He posted, โ€œFWIW him and Micheal Clemons beef is whateverโ€ฆ but pretty wild stuff to say about the rest of those guysโ€ฆ expecting some serious beef going into those matchups next yearโ€ฆ Trash talk is fun honestly, we need more teams who hate each other ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.โ€

One Jets fan wrote, โ€œNo problem with Dawkins here. He put his name on it and called out 10 of the 11 #Jets defenders as bitches. Itโ€™s up to them to shut him up or they what he called them. This is how all players should think about opponents. If he was a #Jets OL we would love him.โ€


Jets Star Sauce Gardner Strongly Reacted to Dion Dawkinsโ€™ Comments

While fans and analysts had strongly mixed reactions to Dawkinsโ€™ rant, many people couldnโ€™t get over the 320-pound tackle doing the interview with no shirt. Jets star cornerback Ahmad โ€œSauceโ€ Gardner couldnโ€™t help but laugh at his rival.

Gardner posted, โ€œHe gonโ€™ say we be trynna be cool, but went on Vlad and donโ€™t have a shirt on๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.โ€

Jets reporter Thomas Christopher wrote, โ€œHeโ€™s shirtless with the unconnected beard gossiping on VladTV but the Jets are the ones who want to be cool?โ€

โ€œJust the Jetsโ€ podcast host Matt Oโ€™Leary suggests the team uses Dawkinsโ€™ comments as bulletin board material. โ€œBest way to shut up Dion Dawkins is to beat em twice,โ€ Oโ€™Leary posted.


Dion Dawkins Got Into a Fight With Michael Clemons After Defeating the Jets


Dawkinsโ€™ beef with Clemons is no secret. After the Bills defeated the Jets on November 19, the two got into it while heading toward their respective locker rooms at Highmark Stadium.

SNYtvโ€™s Connor Hughes posted, โ€œThere was just a HUGE fight in [the] hallwayโ€ between the Bills and Jets. โ€œA very emotionalโ€ Clemons heard from a Bills player, โ€œAnd we beat that ass, too!โ€

โ€œThe fight started between Clemons & Dawkins off the field. Spilled into the tunnel. Others then [got] involved. It wasnโ€™t pretty. Bills got last laugh with words thrown about the victory. Ugly end for Jets after ugly performance,โ€ Hughes added.

โ€œIโ€™m a humble guy,โ€ Dawkins said afterward, per Syracuse.comโ€™s Matt Parrino. โ€œNot a fan, man. Iโ€™m not a fan of the Jets. Very disrespectful players. Itโ€™s what it is and when we could run and pass and beat a team like that โ€“ cool. Thumbs up.โ€
