The are in "base" so rarely that nickel could be called "base" and 4-3 could be called "run".
I think Dawson will get his snaps in the preseason and likely prove that he can cover TEs in space, remain sound to his assignments, and make instinctual plays.
When he was drafted, I saw him as a great potential pairing with Burfict in nickel. Now, they have Dansby and Vigil. That is good quality depth and experience (Dansby). It is a good problem to deal with.
