re: Keyunta Dawson da man

I thought this guy would just be a special teams player, but he's playing some considerable snaps, and isn't a terrible passrusher.

Not that considerable:

That's 2, 5, 16, and 7 from weeks 9-12(couldn't go back further but I think we may have only picked him up a week or two before that).

The good thing about him, much like Haralson, is that he seems to be making more positive plays while in there.

I thought it was funny someone posted something about Haralson being a godsend after the Falcons game when he only played 11 snaps. Had the poster said that after the San Fran game it would have made more sense(40 snaps).

Haralson has actually been pretty limited outside of the Jets(32) and San Fran games, and that's clearly because we were focusing on stopping the run(Ivory and Gore) in those games and using more heavy sets. Dawson also got his most extensive work(16 snaps) in that San Fran game because of that.

As I said though, it's great that when they do come in(much like Walker and Foster rushing the passer) the are playing pretty well.
