When Burfict comes back...unless something really strange happens...Dansby and Burfict will be on the field most every snap...Dansby is known for his coverage skills... The guy played 85% of the snaps for Cleveland just last year... I cannot see anything less here...

I don't think he will get 98.5% of the snaps as he did in Cleveland. I doubt he even gets 85%, but I would agree he will likely get the majority of the snaps.

And to the OP thanks for the work on LaFell's stats. He is definitely not a replacement for MLJ. But his numbers look to make him an upgrade from Sanu and a reliable target.
Yeah, this all makes me think Dansby will have significantly more snaps than guys like Lawson, Harrison and Hawk.
