Dang, I don't like the sounds of that ?
I'll temper it with some good, although hardly shocking, news -
"Williams ran right though Jammal Brown, leaving the starting left tackle flat on his back."

From what I saw, Okeye had a total of 6 rushes , probably 2 of 6 were against Jahri Evans. Okeye always got 2 or more steps into the backfield, on 3 or 4 other rushes, against other RG or OC, he got further into the backfied., atleast twice got free toward QB stand-in.
For Williams, on the one referenced rush, he kind of surprized the LT and slung him to the ground. But on the next rush he was directed in direction LT desired, but did get back 5 or 6 steps but not toward the QB.
All of our DL had some good rushes, and some learning opportunities. Generally I was real pleased with what I saw, even from guys not mentioned in the article.
For instance, on coaching if a DL got beat or gave up, he was asked to finish the next play, push harder. If DL tried to read first then rush he was told to rush faster, dont' wait to take off. He he slipped, he was told to keep his balance, so forth. And then if they DL was stopped, it might be - keep his hands off of you. Good and bad immediate feedback. very good.
