I have mixed emotions about the amount of abuse Perez gets -- he didn't name himself starter, the coaches see him as better than the alternatives -- Palma when in hasn't been impressive either (I give a pass to Alfieri because of whatever injury he had coming into the season -- he hasn't seemed right all year).  With all that said, I don't recall ever seeing a starting ILB 'watching' as many plays as Perez.
