The AFL season is just three games old but, thanks to injuries and ineffectiveness, the quarterback carrousel has been spinning full speed for the Spokane Shock.

It looks like it's about to slow down. Starter Carson Coffman (picture above shows Coffman with Iowa last season under pressure from the Shock's Derrick Summers) and No. 2 Warren Smith handled the snaps at Tuesday's practice and should be ready for Saturday's home game vs. Orlando.

Here's my weekly Shock notebook.
