Tim Dobbins Profile

LBs Tim Dobbins vs. Kevin Burnett for starting ILB -- Dobbins is the favorite here to retain his spot. But Burnett was the lone top-line free agent the Chargers signed and he will get a long look. Right now Dobbins would have the edge with his hard-nosed approach on run support.
