No one else thought that Palmer looked a lot better in coverage than any of our ILBs have been in a while. I'd say it was just because they were playing a team without much receiver talent, but Jimmy Graham is supposed to be pretty good, right?
I wonder if our MO this year is gonna be that we can deal with big, downhill runners because our dline is pretty good and our safeties and ILBs can fill running straight ahead, but we'll have trouble with shifty guys who can run outside and cut back because our safeties and ILBs aren't that good at breaking down and aren't that athletic. In a sample size of two, that's the way it seems to me.
