I think Meeks > Holder.  Helps to have a little t of depth in the backfield, though the drop off to Buncom was noticeable (though he led the team in tackles against UW).

I would vote Okereke, especially given that Barton is out. Even with Perez improving in recent weeks, the ILB corps after Okereke is... not great.

Shaw was quite effusive in his praise of Buncom today, notwithstanding the missed tackle for loss on Gaskin (I think)

Buncom was pretty effective as a run stopper but not in pass coverage. I think of him like Hoffpauir in the nickel position. Probably capable of covering a TE but not a WR, but more effective at stopping the run. Almost like we're playing 3 DL-3.5 LB-4.5 DB
