Actually you can't go "on and on". You have absolutely scrapped the bottom and spun yourself crazy trying to make an argument.
First of all Harrison was not a DE. And if yoiu call the number three defense in the league a "total failure" then bring on all the "total failure" you can find.
Moch was a flop, but yoiu can't really blame Marvin. He also played for two other NFL teams (including Arizona with Todd Bowles as DC) and they could not get anything out of him either. Looks like the blame there falls on Moch, not the coaching.
Michael johnson should not have played OLB, but the second year was mainly due to injuries.
Pollack was not a failure. He got injured.
Skuta was an undrafted free agent.
Jeanty was another undrafted free agent.
Manny Lawson was not a flop. He played in the NFL 10 years and started over 100 games. The two years he started for us our defense ranked 6th and 7th in the league.
But while with the Ravens Marvin turned college DEs Peter Boulware (4 time Pro Bowl) and Adalius Thomas (2 time Pro Bowl, First Team all Pro) into star LBs.
