Game 5 was the only one where Burfict, Vigil, and Brown all played the full game. Vigil played more snaps (45) than Brown (42) or Bufict (35)
Vigil and Brown both played in games 1 and 4 before Burfict returned. Brown played 46 snaps in each of those games while Vigil played 80 and 70.
By an amazing coincidence Burfict and Brown combined to play almost exactly the same number of snaps (673) as Vigil (672). Vigil had 84 tackles and 5 Tackles for loss. Burfict and Brown combined for 75 tackles and 1 tackle for loss.
As for pass coverage none of them looked good.
You keep coming back to his snaps. He was not and did not start over burfict or brown based on him being a better player and your arguement is silly. I guess ill have to rehash this one more time. Brown got hurt week 1 so of course vigil got the snaps as outlined to you several times already. Vigil was not starting over brown or burfict. Burfict was never the same last season and missed a ton of snaps and that is why vigil saw the field more. Its not a secret as to why vigil saw so many snaps last year. He was terrible with the snaps he was given as were every single lb on the roster. This does not make vigil a starting lb in the league. You can quote how many snaps he plays each game as much as you want...the sad part is it does nothing to solidify any part of your arguement. Anybody who is a bengals fan already knows why he had to play so much last year... except you I guess.
