Its not always recycling garbage, but rather that the new regime has guys they work well with and want to keep that going as opposed to figuring out how to work with a new coach.
Teryl Austin has always had secondary groups that generated turnovers wherever he went. Seattle, Arizona, Detroit. It wasn't surprising to me that the Steelers generated turnovers this past season. If a guy likes to coach a skill or attitude and you let him do that, then it becomes a mindset of the players to perform that skill and have that attitude. It becomes habit forming and I think that is what Austin added to the defense last season.
