I made a point to watch Daniels on almost every defensive snap last week, and the funny thing is, he gets a decent push. The problem is, all he does is push. He makes no attempt to get around the tackle whatsoever. I guess he doesn't realize that an offensive tackle is perfectly content with letting you push him all over the field, as long as he keeps you in front of him.

Thats not nececcarily true. Some schemes that don't have prevelant pass rushers, will assign their d-line to push the linemen into the back field to close of lanes of escape from the backfield. Daniels was the first to miss the tackle on bell, and I haven't seen much of him, but I'm not so sure its the line that has the problem. I think its a combination of no depth in the secondary, leaving packages out that would normally cause pressure, having a lack of physical dominance at linebacker. Washington will shed blocks, but I havent seen marshall or holdman do much of it.
