Josh Allen opens up after Ken Dorsey’s exit: I took it very personally
The Buffalo Bills are navigating turbulent waters following their Monday night loss to the Denver Broncos, which prompted a significant change in their coaching staff.
In the aftermath of the defeat, offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey faced the ax, marking a pivotal moment for the Bills’ offense.
Allen: I owe him [Dorsey] a lot
As the team adjusts to this shakeup, all eyes are on star quarterback Josh Allen and his response to the coaching transition.
Expressing a mix of emotions, Allen shared his thoughts during a Wednesday press conference, acknowledging the impact of Dorsey’s departure.
The quarterback, who had worked closely with Dorsey since 2019, noted that the decision “hurts a lot” considering the history and personal connection with the outgoing offensive coordinator.
“Dorsey is a human being; he’s one of the good ones. He’s been in this room with me for a very long time. I feel like I owe him a lot of the success that I’ve had in my career, and he’s been a huge part of that, so it’s sad to see him go,” Allen said.
Allen dismissed the notion of a “broken offense” but acknowledged the team’s deep-seated issues, particularly turnovers, as the Bills aim to correct course.
The quarterback also admitted that Dorsey would still have his job if the team had played better.
“Without a doubt, and I take that very personally,” Allen said. “It hurts a lot to see someone you care about go through a situation like that and to know that if I could have done more, if this offense could have done more, we wouldn’t have had to do something like that.
“It’s an unfortunate series of events that have led up to it, but, again, as much as you can sit here and feel sorry for yourself and you can sulk on what’s going on, we got a game to prepare for and it’s four days away, so we can’t pay too much attention to it,Allen added.
