I blame the Okoye pick and lack of progress on Richard Smith. you draft a kid who is a one gap penetrating fool, and you ask him to be a 3 tech read and react guy. He did the same thing to Mario. I have never been a fan of read and react. I have always been a fan of attaching styles of defense.

Hell JJ Watt would look bad in Richard Smith's defense.

Just my opinion on the Okoye over Willis pick. And BTW I bitched about it when it happened. I said at the time that Willis would be Rookie of the Year, and possible HOFer. And I liked the Okoye pick, just liked Willis more.
