For a Defense so bad, this seemed surprising.

Wild guess... Chris McAilister waiting in the wings, or picking Alphonso Smith on draft day. I'd hope the later...
On second thought, Rey Maualuga and Chris McAlister... hmmmm.

Yeah, he had his moments in Detroit, and at first I was disappointed that we got rid of him. But I quickly changed my tune when he underachieved dramatically in Denver...He and Champ Bailey were dubbed the best duo in the NFL when he first arrived there. Oh MY were there a lot of people wrong on that one...

In short, the answer to your question is - YES.

My brother who just moved to Atl from Englewood would agree. He complained about Bly every time we watched a game.
It's interesting to note (from football outsiders):
Dre Bly vs. D. Foxworth:
Foxworth:
Charted Passes: 48
Yards per Pass: 5.6 (Rank: 9th among all NFL starting CBs)
Success Rate: 63% (Rank: 9th among all NFL starting CBs)
Bly:
Charted Passes: 80
Yards per Pass: 8.4
Success Rate: 43% (Rank: 9th worst among all NFL starting CBs)
Success Rate is defined as the percentage of plays targeting a defensive player on which the offense did not have a successful play, this includes incomplete passes, INTs, and short completions resulting in little or no gain.
To put it another way, throwing against Bly, teams were successful 57% of the time but throwing against Foxworth, teams were successful only 37% of the time.
Bly's yards per pass directed at him were also among the worst in the league, and again Foxworth was top 10.
Was it still a good move to ship Foxworth to Atlanta?

The year after he netted 20 INT's in one season (very impressive stat) at UNC Chapel Hill, opposing teams started targeting Bly... AND TORCHED HIM... REPEATEDLY... that's why he went pro early. He was still riding the promise of a stellar year, but his stock was sure to fall if he'd stayed. He did have a knack for INT's, though...His physical ability has enabled him to perform decently in the NFL and he put together some decent years, but his career stats, as a stand alone dissection, show he's quite the underacheiver given the expectations based on his athletisism.
Great guy though, very competitive, generous and down to earth. It'll be interesting to see where he lands... if he lands.

No, it wasn't a good move. But I think it had more to do with Salary than anything. - That, and Shanny blew at picking D players. Really like Foxworth - all around good guy.Why yes. Yes it was. By the Falcons.It's interesting to note (from football outsiders):
