I'm more curious who our nickel LBs will be. Burfict is our leader on D and has played in nickel. One of the reasons we signed Minter is because he could also play in nickel since he's decent at coverage. Then you've got the defensive coaches raving about Vigil and his coverage abilities. Makes you wonder if we'll rotate them in and out of nickel and if we'll have 2 guys play most of the snaps.
I'd rather have too many guys that can play in the nickle. That means you can occasionally stay in base formation with 3 WR's on the field.
