I laid out two scenarios - one where Burflict comes back full speed and one where he does not. It's based on the assumption that Dawson is better than any of our LBs except Hawk and Burflict - which IMHO he is. Especially with Flowers out now. He's better than Vinnie Rey right now and I for one don't want another season of Lamur turning in the worst LB performance in the NFL (like last season). As to Maualuga the knock on him has always been poor football smarts and instincts - which happen to be strengths of Dawson.
So, in the "Burflict not back" scenario we have Hawk, Dawson and Maualuga. In the "Burflict back" scenario we have Burflict, Hawk and Dawson. It's about putting our best three LBers out there.

The only thing I hate worse than Pittsburgh football...
