The GoStanford website is beyond irritating. Sometimes I can find the depth chart, but then the next week I can never remember where I found it. Has anyone seen it yet? Got a link?

With Sean Barton's injury, it looks as though Jordan Perez is the new starter at ILB ahead of Joey Alfieri.  Perez was decent against SDSU with 5 tackles, but it would be great if Alfieri, the expected starter this year ahead of both Barton and Perez, could get healthy again. He is obviously playing hurt, and has lost a step or two.

With Barton and Branch hurt and Davis gone last year's six-man ILB rotation is now down to four, even with Alfieri.  Things change pretty quickly.

It's Perez -or- Alfieri.

Alfieri must be injured. He should be starting somewhere.

Perez was decent against SDSU with 5 tackles . . .

Paaaleeezze.  Look at the SDSU game again.  He's lost out there.  His tackles were on plays he was pursuing and someone else missed a tackle.  When they run at him, he gets blocked.  When they run a receiver through his zone, he's not there.  Good linebackers take on blockers and make tackles.  Good linebackers get penetration and meet ball carriers at or before the line of scrimmage.  Good linebackers cover backs coming out of the backfield on pass plays.

I have yet to see him execute proper technique for his position.  I'm sure he's a nice guy and a good student, but we are in trouble if he starts at ILB.  UCLA will run right at him or drag a TE into his zone and kill us all night long.

Then we are in trouble, because Perez is starting, apparently, unless Alfieri recovers sufficiently.  I'm not sure why Kevin Palma isn't moved over to start, instead of backing up Okereke.  I guess the coaches saw some good things in the play of Perez that you didn't.

They could conceivably take Perez off the field in favor of a DB and run nickel.  Which, honestly, against UCLA, makes the most sense.  Of course, Perez is probably better in pass coverage than Palma, so there's that too.

Holley moley does Stanford need a stud inside linebacker. And if Alfieri isn't hurt then they have weakened the OLB position by the shift inside.

[Hurlburt88]

I really think he is hurt.  Of course we won't know for sure until comments after the season.
