Unfortunately Perez is a tweener IMHO.  Too slow to be a SS and too small to be a run-stopper at ILB.

Yeah, I always wondered about that.

I actually asked after the first few games, when it was clear that Barton and Okereke were the ILBs and that Palma had mysteriously gone from starter to scrub, if Perez should be moved to SS. I was answered that he was not fast enough. But it seems he has as much speed as many of our sufficient SSs of the past who were stout against the run and punished receptions over the middle. (Seyon Albert. Dallas Lloyd. I invite you to name some here.) Perhaps we play more two-deep now.
