Preston Brown is not the best cover backer though, he isn't terrible, better than Minter and Maualuga but this is
not his strength. I think we just need to win half of our first 4 games while Burfict is out and we will be able to
make a nice run. We have a lot less holes going into this season than last though that is for sure.

Billings playing decent against the Cowboys O-line has me stoked to go along with our End rotation.

Brown is a MIKE, basically a middle LB. I have been watching the NFL for 50+ years, I have seen very few good cover middle linebackers. I have seen coaches try and create match up issues for middle LB's for this very reason. Brown's main job is to stop the run, if he does that great, I will be a happy camper. If he keeps plays in front him and does not give up big pass plays. he did his job. Gronk, Kelcie and a lot of today's salivate if they get matched up with a MIKE. Bell, McCoy, Freeman and all running backs the same, they beat the MIKE probably 80% of the time in one on one coverage.
