Seahawks still trying to master the step-kick technique

During last night's Preseason Week 3 matchup between the Seahawks and Chargers, cornerback Cary Williams got beaten twice on slant routes midway through the 2nd quarter -- both for big gains -- two plays apart. Naturally, the chorus on twitter was that Williams is a bum, but my first couple thoughts on these plays were that a) the slant is the route that the Seahawks tend to frequently have issues with, just in that they use the sideline so much with their press-trail and press-bail cover-3/cover-1 style, and b) it looked to me like the issue on both plays was a technique problem that could be corrected with a little more experience.
