Omenihu doesn't have the bend Okafor has around the edge, but he has a more diverse set of pass rushing moves and better hands than Okafor.

I don't think the 'bend' around the edge is as important anymore. Not if the good QB's are getting the ball out in less than 3 seconds.
Inside pressure, like Reid said, that's the new trend to counter the quick passing game. That and confusion with coverage looks.
