100% this. If the season will be salvaged, a message needs to be sent that Dawkins 1/2 assed effort last night is not tolerable. The Cowboys benched PIckens and Lamb for the first drive. I'd go even further. What Dawkins did (or didn't do) yesterday was more inexcusable than Coleman missing a meeting. You're supposed to be a team leader and you get your butt kicked every play, then false start, then joking around at the end of the game, then blame Davis.
I exempt him. He kept trying to play even though injured, becoming a massive liability. One of the coaches should have subbed him out before they (eventually) did. This coaching staff is a total joke. Terrible and soft team culture, no game day IQ, etc.
