Burfict has always been in the nickel, and usually it would have been Lamur playing back there with him. I thought Lamur started well, but once the team lost Burfict, it was almost like they lost Lamur as well because he wasn't diagnosing plays well and was missing tackles that he didn't miss earlier in the season.

I think the fact that Dawson played in a 2 LB scheme at TCU helps him be prepared for NFL nickel. He covered a ton of ground, yet was always quick to diagnose a run or a QB scramble and blow that up as well. I think he would be perfect in our nickel. Maybe Lamur and Dawson will be the nickel package? Dawson and Hawk? That is, until Burfict returns.
