Usually but not in this case in my opinion. Darnay Scott quite simply is a Coughlin victim. Coughlin is one of the toughest coaches in the NFL for a player to get along with. He might well be the least respected coach in the league among the players in his locker room. Darnay Scott came from a program where he was taught not to sacrifice your body in practice because the game is whats important. Coughlin wants his players to run 100 mph during practice and then wonders why perennially the Jags are one of the most injured teams in the league. Darnay Scott did not fit Coughlin's attitude, pure and simple. And now that Jimmy Smith has ended his holdout, Scott is gone and its no coincidence.
Unfortunately for Scott, this means that he will not have the chance to be a starter for another team. He could be. He could help us, however Dedric is becoming a favorite target and McKnight is too nice (and has too big a signing bonus) to just replace outright with Darnay.
