What I find most incredible is that we had been told he was suspect defensively. We've seen evidence since he arrived that that is largely nonsense, he's solid and sharp in the tackle and reads the game like a book. I do think that our set up benefits him and his position as RCB in a 3 seems...
That's exactly how I feel! Maybe I just didn't notice? But I'm sure the narrative around him wasn't that he was particularly quick. I might be wrong though - I am only going by watching the games on TV which is notoriously different to in person. I'm not willing to die on the hill of this...
