On a defensive line that’s used three starting lineups through three games due to injuries and inconsistent play, nose tackle Brandon Williams has been a standout whose efforts defensive coordinator Dean Pees believes have been “overshadowed” some by the team's struggles.
“If you watch, he really played a pretty good game [against the Cincinnati Bengals],” Pees said.” He pushed the pocket. The guy was a dominating force inside. We still haven’t had teams really run the ball on us in a [game]. We’ve been pretty good against the run, and a lot of that’s due to him inside.
