The play of our LB's

The fact that Burfict was out and Minter still only got 18 total snaps vs GB, 38 vs Ratbirds and 19 vs Texans says to me they they're not that high on him. Vigil has something like 95% plus of the defensive LB snaps, with Vinnie Rey coming in second. That speaks volumes to how they will use him now that Tez is back.

There isn't a middle and SAM in nickel, just two backers.  I do agree that the majority of their nickel packages will be those two, but I would like to see Evans rotate in sometimes in nickel and for Burfict at WILL.  One thing we all know about Burfict is he is one cheap shot (perceived) from being out a year.

They will use Minter as MIKE, Burfict at WILL, and Vigil at SAM in base and short-yardage.
