Looks like Vigil, Gilberry and Dennard will get more playing time

Dawson would be a nice option at the strong side.   They have barely given this guy a chance to show what he can do.  He may have had a couple of times where he had two consecutive snaps.   We seem to have a power struggle with an arrogant, undisciplined player and a rigid dogmatic head coach.

If the season goes down the drain they need to give him some sustained playing time so he can get a feel for the pro game.   He might not be a pro player, but it sure doesn't seem like they've even tried to see what they have.

Dawson is on the PS, so a player would have to be cut to make room for him. I honestly don't see Dawson getting that chance unless an injury forces a LB to IR.
