My thoughts:
1) There are plenty of snaps available for Rayshawn Jenkins, Jamal Carter and Deon Bush to all see quality time. Im liking that rotation of safeties. No real drop off when we substitute.
2) I've been the captain of the Rashuan Scott fan club since he was a recruit. At the end of 2012 I felt the coaches were finally seeing what I saw in Scott. He reminds me of Michael Irvin in that he has a great ability to catch the ball while being covered. I was saddened to see he fell into Golden's dog house. Maybe its the ex-athlete in me but I continue to wonder how much of this is on Scott and how much is on the coaching staff.
3) It would not surprise me to see al golden interview with Penn State. My guess would be that his primary goal would be to parlay that market-interest into something more for his contract with UM. (more $$ or more something else that he wants, etc.) Its the leverage game. Hopefully Donna and the AD play it a little more savvily than they have with previous coaching issues.
