He is a forgotten man at this point but there’s a good chance that he will be one of their IR return players. He is a guy that they obviously targeted in the draft, in part due to his versatility, and they likely expected him to contribute right away.
Gilmore is obviously CB1, J McCourty surprisingly seems to be settling in as a potential answer at CB2 (the defensive version of Cassel, after looking atrocious in the preseason) and J. Jones is a solid slot CB. If D McCourty continues to struggle badly in coverage, I wonder whether they would consider Dawson as a starting option at free safety? I understand that McCourty is highly respected by both coaches and teammates and is a clubhouse leader but something has to give, unless he figures it out in coverage over the next 3 to 4 weeks.
