You can run man coverage with two safeties playing over top and another one covering a RB/TE like a LB, can you not?
Perhaps Austin sees man to man as a foundational building block to what he wants to accomplish?
I like the approach, personally. If you have a guy like WJ3 and keep burning first round picks on CBs, you should be able to play different kinds of man coverage and play them well. Good press-man coverage can be tough to pull off without the right personnel, but can be absolutely brutal on an offense when it works.
