Sounds like he does not.

Daryl Williams has already looked solid at tackle. 

I wonder how much of that is because he's been with our coaches as opposed to the Sooners coaches?

I did.  I was reading the Samchez part.  The Williams part is nonsense.  Dude didn't allow a sack his whole last year.  I don't want to hear it.

Here's  a challenge: Name a really good right tackle in the NFL (no googling).

Right tackles are always lesser known than their leftward counterparts. And it's not at all unusual for them to only be average to slightly above average players. Teams just don't tend to invest heavily in that spot.

If your team does have a good RT, it's probably either because he's a high pick they're grooming to move left or they got lucky on a late rounder (i.e. what we're hoping happens with Williams).

Or a left handed QB, so the RT would then be protecting the QBs blindside.

Teams don't use high picks on RTs so if we are looking to upgrade, it would have to be someone in that range. RTs are generally serviceable guys, elite RTs are usually dominant run blockers. Give me a RT who won't give up a sack with a right handed QB that can see the rush coming i will take all day.

Honestly though, we don't need competition along the OL like we do at WR.  I'm just fine with Oher at LT, Kalil at center, and Turner and Norwell at OG.  I'd just like to see RT upgraded.  If we can't upgrade at RT, then Shula just has to get better at compensating for our weakness there when we face good speed rushers.  

I would do hope to see some competition for the backup positions though.  If Oher gets hurt... oh wee mayne.  He may not be an elite LT, but he's the only competent LT we have.  

I'm not a Shula hater, but he didn't adjust to the speed rush against Denver and I felt like some screen passes would have kept the D honest.

He got hurt week 1, pretty sure he played all the preseason games. Remmers was, and possibly still will be this year, the best option. Super Bowl was ugly, yes. That doesn't take away the other 18 games he played well over last season. SB was ugly for 90% of the team.

I don't know if he played well.  He's definitely not a hog molly to pave way for Stewart and the run game.  Cam's mobility helps him a lot.

dwill has terrible in the super bowl but he was playing G instead of tackle
