Can't say enough about Derek Newton's performance last night. He took 100% of the snaps and played a great game. I haven't taken a look back at the tape yet, but I believe Schaub faced the most pressure from his left side thanks to his old nemesis, Dwight Freeney. It's encouraging to see this from Newton. Kubiak felt comfortable leaving him in the whole game.
It's a pity that Lestar Jean had such a rough go in the run game. He looked great run-blocking during the preseason; obviously, he's got some technique to work on. I'm rooting for him to be a big contributor this season. I'm a sucker for undrafted free agents.

Shiloh Keo deserves another shout-out for his performance last night, or at the very least for the 66 total snaps he took all game; that was the most for any defender on the roster. The fake punt he helped execute was a thing of beauty. The coaching staff seems to have a level of confidence in him that almost none of us here on Battle Red Blog share. More performances like this and we too might be singing humming Keo's praises.
Brandon Harris didn't see any snaps on defense. I hope that will change next week against the Titans. I want to see him rotating in with Brice McCain. To put it kindly, McCain had a rough going in man coverage last night.
These are just a few of my thoughts. Let us hear yours in the Comments. Happy Tuesday!
