Guess who's back?

ME!

and Mike McLaughlin, who you guys are probably more interested in.

However before we dive into this week lets do a quick recap of everything that I wasn't able to cover.

Defense:
The Good: How we can lose 3 NFL top 2 round picks (Herzlich included), miss McLaughlin and have injuries on nearly every front and still be this good? It's absolutely ridiculous, kudos to Spaz and McGovern as well as Jagz for some of the recruits(Luuuke)

The Bad: Wheres the pressure? There has been like two sacks total. I guess we are missing Brace and Raji cause it seems like O-lines have been able to handle Scafe and Giles/Ramsey pretty handily allowing a lot of double teams on Albright. Also of concern is the boundary corner, particularly exposed during WF game where Rollins and Fletcher were both beat an uncomfortable number of times for big plays. (though they are now on opposite sides of the field)

Offense:
The o-line stepped it up against a pretty good WF front 7 after a disaster against Clemson. I was a Tuggle supporter because Shinskie doesn't seem to be able to audible and shift protections or even recognize plays (which trickled down into the run game) but he definitely has the better arm. From what I see right now Shinskie is the better player (did a great job against WF, not so much with his arm because they were feeding him plays and he still made some iffy throws) but with recognizing what the defense was showing him. I really feel like hes Chris Crane 2.0 minus the mobility. He bullets every pass with barely any touch, but considering hes only a freshman we could have a distinct QB controversey when Chase shows up. The TEs look good the WRs seem versatile though Gunnells been a little bit too quiet for my liking. I think Larmond's success might be limiting his looks. Jarvis has been looking better after I heard he had been dropping a lot of balls in practice. Haden is starting to really show his ability as a change of pace when defenses stop Harris, they should be a great combo in the future though I don't think either will stick out too much in the future.

And now to Mac
He's back and looking solid and this weekend expect to see him a lot more as Luke shifts to WLB. I think this speaks as much about Luke, Mac and Will Thompson in the fact that McGovern wants to see all three get time in the future (assuming Thompson comes back). Luke's going to be something great in the future. Although on another note I'm wondering where Darius Bagan has disappeared to again...
