Anthony Davis vs. Vikings defensive end Ray Edwards: Davis, the No. 11 pick out of Rutgers, joined a long list of tackles to struggle against Colts defensive end Robert Mathis last week. Asked where he needs to improve, Davis replied with humility. "Everywhere."

Right tackle Anthony Davis did not fare well in the first game, against the Colts.  Robert Mathis, a top pass rushing defensive end beat him consistently. Davis seemed to have particular trouble blocking his man when he was left out in space. The 49ers were forced to give Davis help by leaving a back in to help block on pass plays. Sunday's game will be a good indicator to see if Davis has progressed.
