I would hate to go a game without him, but as long as he's there keeping the D in line and motivating them, we'll be fine. I'm think the bye will give him pleanty of time to heal and rest up, and he'll be back just as tough against the Ravens.
Actually, SD pretty much marched up and down the field on us without Dawkins on the field. They did an ok job of holding to a FG on the one, but really, we appeared overwhelmed which had little to do with McBath's play. It is no different than when we lost Wilson. Without Dawkins, this D will stink up the joint, he's the glue that holds the rag tag group together, when he falters they will.
