Backlund would probably benefit from a favourable match-up here and there, and not having to be in the linemate blender. That's probably why he doesn't look quite as good as normal and seems a little off.

It's hard to build momentum and confidence to get going offensively when 65-70% of your deployment is in the d-zone.
