What's the knock on Preston Brown?

Actually what was said was that he played a lot of snaps and he led the team in tackles.  It sure doesn't mean he was good in coverage.  What I said is that I doubt he is our nickel backer.  Now, it is interesting to read that some thinks that Austin will use more 4-3 and less nickel, but I really would be surprised as our strength is our secondary over our front seven....at least over the linebackers.  

And I do believe the much-maligned Vigil is pretty solid at coverage, but he takes poor angles in rush defense and misses a lot of open tackles.  So, I guess take the good with the bad there.
