Good footwork, stays in position, maintains leverage. Sound fundamentals, and enough quicks to beat his guy to the spot.

Portis used to pancake guys occasionally. Man, I miss seeing that.
Agree about Vernon Davis. I see little downside here -- 2 TE sets with Davis and Jordan will present some matchup nightmares for defenses. I have a feeling this makes Carrier expendable and maybe even Paulsen as well, although with no FB on the roster, perhaps we keep 4.
