This has been happening for awhile, Scott Fujita, Donnie Edwards (the first time he was here), Kawika Mitchell (arguable), and Napoleon Harris (he was picked up by the Vikes and had a fumble return for a TD this week, not sure if he is starting but he is contributing, after we completely cut him off our team).
It seems like we pick-up guys who are decently talented, but they dont do anything here, and excel elsewhere. To me that is a sign of bad coaching (this has been the case since before Herm, but he is obviously not helping). I think at the end of the year, the entire D coaching staff needs to be gutted.
