Wasn't him, sadly; his only pick6 was against Houston, when Mitchell was on our team

I think a lot of people remember our team on the whole, just getting picked on to death and he happened to be one of starting corners on those teams, so he's remembered for negative things, when his non-coverage stats really weren't bad at the time at all (I wish we could pull up those numbers nowadays)

32nd (out of 32)
25th (out of 32)

Sure, he's only one guy...but he was a big piece of the secondary for all those years, and saw his fair share of targets. I don't remember watching him or any of those guys and thinking "he's a decent player stuck on a bad team".

I did have him as the best of a bad bunch, hence why I didn't put him on my team, even with 3 CB's. I wouldn't say he was decent though. More like "less bad".

Like I said above, he just happened to be one of the guys who was constantly and consistently picked on, due to a shitty D (like the LBs mentioned above, with the run).

They weren't good-enough to overcome the shortcomings of the guys up-front, but they weren't wholly the cause of the negative play.
