    Jamie Sharper had a few good years with the Texans.

    Yeah, Sharper had a few really good years with Houston. I think Hartwell would have been solid for Atlanta for a while, but his body stopped working. Bart Scott was still solid in run support for the Jets for a couple years.

    I believe Sharper led the league in tackles at least once, and was their leader on D. But they were an expansion team, with a shortage of talent.

    Hartwell was too busy counting tackles to focus on doing his job.

    Bart was effective for a while. Too bad he showed the least amount of class of just about any ex-Raven.

    James Harrison has had a great career after Baltimore. He is nuts and on steroids...but most of the league is too.

    The closest comparison to Kruger is Antwan Barnes. He has been productive. I think Kruger will do fine. He has a high motor and just keeps coming.

    James Harrison was a practice squad member only so I don't believe it should count in this discussion.

    Barnes? 7 tackles, 2 assists, 3 sacks in 11 games is not "productive".

    Bart Scott came out and picked the Ravens against the Patriots in the playoffs when they were underdogs and in retrospect it was a pretty good pick. He said the Ravens had more "goons". I didn't hear that said anywhere else.
