Did Mack look a step slower to anyone when compared to last week? He did to me. I know he had the ankle issue, I think he scores on that long run if healthy. I saw a couple USF games a few years ago and Mack looks like he did then. Fast through the hole and into the second level lightning quick. But his patience for that hole to open seems better also. That shoulder must have really bothered him last year.

Good thing next year’s draft is a defensive one. We are going to need all those picks.

I thought Mack looked more decissive than last year. Maybe its the shoulder, but he has put his foot in the ground and goes to the open inside gap. He commits and sells out on his decision.

From where i sit, hes not the same guy as last year, in a good way.
