Watching the game again, All 22, confirms my feelings:

-Coverage by our ILBs improved tremendously from last year. Mason Foster had a REAL solid game, key tackles on 3rd down pass plays, TFLs, tipped ball...

-Dunbar is turning into the real deal.

-Johnathan Allen is a beast.

-I can't quite get my finger on why we don't generate more pass rush... The second INT was caused by pressure (Allen, Kerrigan and Smith), good position by Foster, and DJ making the play though, so I'd be curious to see pressure stats from this game.

-I also don't think Smith left that much on field. Made a nice deep throw to Richardson in the 3rd QTR. He overthrew Crowder on a go route. Overall I'd say the receivers weren't open that much...

Finished the game, other things I saw:

-Luck did make some really good throws under pressure. And a couple of bad ones, amongst which a 3rd down incompletion which could've been key if our offense had been alive. So while I agree we need more productivity from our pass rush, we did generate some pressure in this game.

-Smith made another real tight throw to Reed late in the 3rd. But late in the 3rd and 4th he coulda/shoulda taken some shots.

-Reaaaally bad performance by the OL. Even Scherff had a bad one in the running game...

-I agree with those saying we need more in game adjustments, and that was obvious on the defensive side of the ball: they were running pick play after pick play after pick play late in the game and we still had absolutely no answer!
On their last TD drive, I think there was only one pass play that wasn't a pick play...
