And I don't think that's an unfair take. Fujita is a solid player but isn't likely to come up in an unbiased discussion of the better current LBers. He's not bad, but he's not a consistent game-changer nor is he the kind of player that OCs will probably ever gameplan around. He seems to be a hardworking player capable of making the occasional big play. At the same time, he won't be the guy blowing a lot of assignments, look out of place or incapable, and isn't often likely to be the guy people are pointing the finger at after a loss.
The way I'd approach it is Fujita is one of the few guys on defense the team could build around. I think he's proven to be good enough to start. There are much more glaring needs.
