Usually you put Butler on the #2 but they don't really have a #2 worth worrying about too much. Ryan/Rowe should be able to handle the #2 and #3.
So yeah put Butler on Brown and have the safety play back and shade to that side. I would play it so Butler is 1 on 1 within 15 yards so to speak and when it goes deeper he gets help. You need go go man to man with people sometimes no matter how good they are or the offense will adjust and fine the weak part of your D. Even a JAG can catch a wide open pass and turn it up for 20 yards if you put too many resources on the top guys. However I would say if Brown goes deep and it is 1 on 1 I am not a fan. That is where you get in deep trouble with Brown. In 1 on 1 deep he has a lot of room to get open.
We need to keep our safeties back as much as possible. I am not saying be in cover 2 all game but certainly a large part of it.
