Both of those guys played excellently after they left here. Some could say Goodwin even bumped up his game after leaving, with Alex Friggin Smith at QB.

Yea, but it didn't affect the Saints O line bc DLP stepped up.

and how lucky Goodwin plays between: Staley, Iupati, Boone and Davis

Nnamdi Asomugha just left the @49ers facility. What happens next? I have the exclusive. #FreeAgency

So he left the facility. Was it with or without a contract?

What does that have to do with anything?

The RT and LT position is not as important on our team as the middle where Grubbs and Evans are as well as De'lapuente.

Its because we got RBs and TEs that chip block which gives Brees plenty time to release the ball.

Understand the point about how Brees is protected, but...

Okay, so how do we get back to a balanced attack with a running game with Charlie Brown and Zack Strief manning the Tackle positions?

We have a problem...

Our problem with secondary, is depth gentlemen..... With Nhamdi and Lewis, AND Greer, coached up to their potential, ALL of our front 7 will do a better job getting to the QB....

Who wouldn't want to add him to their roster, you'd have to crazy not to want him!

I don't think it's a matter of if a team - i.e. the Saints - wants him or not, but rather if they can negotiate a contract with such a player that'll tilt the odds in favor of the team coming on top in the investment vs return equation.

Get past the brand name, watch the tape.

"All Kelly could say about Asomugha was, “I don’t have his group of plays, or how he played in Game 1 through the last game of the season,” then after more questions, “I think Nnamdi has the skill set (pause) that can play football.”
We all know that the former Oakland Raiders cornerback played horribly in 2012. He can no longer run with the faster receivers in the league, his quickness and change of direction are subpar and he seems indecisive when he comes up into the press technique, which used to be his strength. Bottomline, he’s no where near worth the the $15 million dollars they slated to pay him now."

Yeah, but that's all relative...

None of his suitors at present are looking at his skill set and planning to pay him $15M/yr, but at $4-5M/yr his skill set suddenly looks a lot better.
