Talk to me about this defense

[*ochocincos*]

I think the reason we haven't heard much on the defense yet is because defense doesn't really start getting talked about until the pads come on. But it sounds like it's going to have a good amount of 2 LBs with 5 DBs.

I'll be paying attention to the LBs and DL this preseason. I'm curious to see who claims the starting DE spot opposite of Dunlap (will it be Lawson or will he just be used as a pass rush specialist?) and also who plays the most nickel DT snaps.
I've always liked the way Preston Brown played when healthy and am optimistic he will return to form if he can stay healthy. He isn't the best in coverage but he's well-rounded. I think we'll see a nice competition for that second LB spot between Vigil, Pratt, and perhaps even Jefferson.
I'm most confident in the DBs, as this was Anarumo's specialty. I'm hoping we'll see Williams closer to the LOS with Dennard or Webb as the 5th DB but I can also see situations (mostly short yardage) where they opt to go with Fejedelem instead of Webb or Dennard.
