Lamarr Houston had a very good 2010 but trailed off a little in 2011. Must be that Seymour leadership factor at work again.
Let's see what they're saying about Nnamdi Asomugha:
Former Eagles linebacker Seth Joyner doesn’t like what he’s seeing out of Nnamdi Asomugha.
“I think he got put in a situation he wasn’t prepared for, on top of trying to learn a new defense, and his confidence is just gone, shot,” said Joyner. “He’s gone from a guy that was a shutdown corner to in my opinion, as I watch him play,
he’s a below-average cornerback right now.”

Thomas Howard had a season ending ACL injury, so he's out.
Kirk Morrison had 7 tackles for the Bills last year...total. He has ZERO tackles this year (I'm not sure he has even played).
Trevor Scott had 7 tackles for the Raiders all of last year and has a whopping 3 tackles for us this year (with zero sacks).
Oakland released Stanford Routt because he wasn't worth his contract.
Chris Johnson was cut also because he was making starter money and wasn't a starter. In fact, I don't think he was even picked up by another team.
Greg Ellis was only with Oakland for the 2009 season and they still went 5-11.
Kamerion Wimbley has 9 tackles and 1 sack this year.
The funny thing is that if they didn't trade for Seymour and his ridiculous contract extension they could have kept Asomugha and maybe Wimbley plus have a 1st rounder.
Next year they'll have nothing and we'll have our starting Left Tackle for 10 years.
