Dawson is exclusively at WILL right now, and will be for the foreseeable future. I'll have something on him in the coming week, but he had a really hard time today - got trucked many times in the 1-on-1's with the tight ends.
Maualuga isn't going anywhere, not after being re-signed. But until he's back, Vinny Rey is in the middle with Nico running with the twos. He's told me he feels so much more comfortable in the defense than last year when he was tossed in after literally coming off the Chiefs practice squad, and he's physically feeling better than while in KC. Now that we're in pads, and things ramp up a bit, it's a real chance for him to shine.
