The 40 number the Bengals had on Vigil is 4.6. Not that that matters, but trust me - he can move. And Dawson can move and hit holes. We saw it last year when he played. It was rare, but it was there.
Dawson makes the team unless something totally unforeseen happens, but they're not playing around with him. He has to take a leap in year two. But let's be real: In base, it's Maualuga, Dansby, Tez. In nickel it's Tez and Dansby and/or Rey.
During suspension, base is Rey/Maualuga/Dansby, nickel is Rey/Dansby. They'd like Dawson to be ready to ease some of Rey's workload, especially in nickel where coverage is a concern. This is what we'll look for in camp with him and Vigil.
