1) how is Brandon Meriweather?
2) our plan for a punt returner
3) the development of Tom Compton, who may play a big role for us this year

4) 300 passing yard/100 yard rushing game for P-Dub

300 yards passing? At 3.8 YPA, it would take no more than 80 attempts. Seems feasible to me...I wouldn't complain if it happened, though. Then maybe some deluded team would actually offer us a draft pick for him. Although, that's not likely, since every team knows we'll release him.

I hope Skye Dawson explodes as a punt returner and makes the team keep him. 6 WRs seems unlikely, but he's been the best so far...

I think he could be good. But he also reminds me of Brandon Banks. That's kinda a good and bad thing.

In my opinion, Dawson is quite a bit better than Banks. Dawson is doing the best so far as punt returner, while Banks was very indecisive. Dawson also runs sharp routes and has good hands. Santana Moss is 34 years old. Granted, he's still ballin', but eventually he'll need a replacement in the slot. Dawson could be that guy.

I could see it happening. Has Dawson gotten any throws in pre-season? Banks started off well and then tapered off and he also couldn't catch worth a damn.

It'd be great to have a little speedy Welker type in the slot though. I'm feeling you on that.

That would be sweet. I was hoping we'd sign the man himself, but I knew it wasn't really an option, with us already having Moss and the cap situation and all.

Dawson hasn't caught any passes during the preseason; I was basing my observations on his camp performance. He's returned 7 punts with a 10.9 average in preseason thus far, but Thompson has pretty much equaled him with 3 returns for 16.0 yards. I doubt Dawson makes the roster.
