Under the Marvin Lewis regime having a veteran get more playing time than a more talented player who happens to have less experience is not something new. Marvin himself has even commented in the past about how he wished he had gotten younger players a little more experience. I understand you want to build them up, but our LB play hasnt exactly been stellar. Giving Dawson some of Hawks snaps or letting Rey take a breather every once in awhile could be the experience Dawson needs to be able to make an impact later this year.
Hopefully we come out on fire and build a huge lead and then we are able to get guys like Fisher, Dawson, Kroft, Shaw, and Derron some good real game experience.
