I went back and watched the game with an emphasis on QF, the RT spot and both DE positions.
QF- The general consensus of grading QF below avg based upon hopeful improvement from last year is understandable. While it didn't seem he was leaps and bounds better than last year, he wasn't nearly as bad as the stat line seems. The 3rd down pass that missed Kano badly on a seam/pop pass, looked to be on KD. It was a hot read, and Kano didn't bend the route like QF expected. Taggart talked to him right after the play and you could see him telling him to replace the LB by bending it back inside.
RT- Norman looked much better than Atterbury and as someone noted on here, Eric Mayes looked very solid. Atterbury was often knocked off balance and was vulnerable to the pull/push move after engaging. Norman also showed more athelticism getting to the second level in the run game which is essential for this team to break off big runs. Atterbury looked closer to an OG than a LT of the future.
DE- First things first. They were absolutely in a contain type look, not trying to get too far upfield and leave running lanes open for their QB. Livingstone looked solid, he was getting a push and showed an at least average ability to rush the passer. Very stout in the run game which will be important. Vincent Jackson looked "ok", he flashed some athleticism but didnt show any real ability to shed the blocker after engagement when asked to. On the play that Nigel destroyed the QB on a delayed blitz, LaDarrius Jackson actually dropped in coverage and did a really solid job. Overall they rotated an absolute ton, including the first two drives having 2 different sets of ends. I don't think we will have one absolute monster pass rusher, but overall we should be able to move the QB off the spot fairly often with the talent at DT as well as our blitz packages
