I would much rather see them sign Aquib Talib,

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

+1.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

No way Jose.

Don't forget Namdi played under two different DCs in two seasons at Philly (which was a dumpster fire at the time).

Dude would thrive in New Orleans. We just don't have the money.



If we can only get one more FA, I'd rather have Victor Butler.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

we getting CBs n FA that means we R going to get PASS RUSHERS N LINEBACKERS n the draft ahh yeahh.... But if KEnny Vaccarro is there aw man I hope we draft him ! ! !

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

Are you people forgetting that a left tackle is needed for the Saints to continue to win. I know Bushrod wasn't all that but he was better than what's on the roster right now.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

And what was on the roster before him was better than he was.

Am I concerned about Charles Brown? Sure. But history has shown that after loosing a lineman to FA, this team is fine.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

That does concern me and the cardinals and chargers may end up getting the two offensive tackles in the first round. We may have to trade up.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

and Loomis/Payton never overpay for O-Linemen, refer to what the Bears just gave Bushrod...

and what happened with Nicks...

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

If the shoe fits...
Sometimes things need to be said

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

I would take Greer any day over him!

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

.

For how much longer, Charles Brown to protect your 100 million dollar QB. I guess not!!!!

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

I don't really get your point but it sounds like you're concerned about CB too.

Marcel Jones is a big boy. He might step up (?)

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

My point is we have no left tackle on the roster and CB sucks!!!!!!!!!!
Is it sinking in yet?

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

Yeah, it's sinking in. All the !!!!! helped that time..

So were you this frightened after Faine or Stinch or Brown or Goodwin or Nicks left also?

Things will be fine bro.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

I hope things will be fine, which one of the guys mentioned above was a left tackle?

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

Jammal Brown. Mr. false start.

Point is - the QB makes our line, not the other way around.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

Brees definitely has the pocket awareness and shiftiness to make bad lineman look decent. I am not comfortable with our starting tackles being Brown, Streif, Jones, or Robinson. We will need to add a better body whether it's a FA or our 1st pick.

As for Nnamdi, I really am not interested in him.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

We disagree.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Goodwin
Carl Nicks

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.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

Agreed, after signing Lewis, my Nmandi crush has totally fizzled.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

How many games did Nicks play before he ended up on IR?

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

Not mine, nor sexy ROB's ( somebody's gonna say it, I thought I'd be the first) 6ft corners are in style here..... Jabari and Roman may have to starts looking for work elsewhere.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

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

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

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

https://twitter.com/Akbar_Gbaja

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

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

What does that have to do with anything?

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

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.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

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...

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

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....

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

We do not want

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

Asomugha?

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.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

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."


Chip Kelly Speaks Well Of Foles And Ryans, But Not Asomugha | GCOBB.COM

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

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.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

pass we need to get more than one player for the money he will want

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

And it wasn't just Asomugha who underachieved and overpaid on that roster, lots of players underperformed. DRC, Cullen Jenkins, Jason Babin, Trent Cole, etc. Not take to make excuses for those guys, but I'm sure the coaching and locker room played a part in all of them failing miserably. I'm sure a scouting report on a majority of their players on defense last year wouldn't be too favorable.

At a discounted rate, while there still would be plenty of risk involved, it could certainly be very worthwhile to kick the tires on a possible deal.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

No one even knows how much money he's asking for if he's already still going to get paid 4mil this season from the Eagles.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

True. What if the asking price is 2 million? Added on with the money the Eagles are paying him, that's still more than what DRC got from Denver and on average from what KC is playing Sean Smith. It's also still more than what we gave Lewis. He gets to re-unite with his former DC on a contending team... that could lead to nice multi year deal the upcoming offseason.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

True, a 1-year contract like the one you proposed could be really good for him financially, since the market was/is flooded with quality CBs this offseason his market value wasn't/isn't as high as it could be f.e. next offseason.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

Just got very interesting tho......

Jake Long likely to leave STL without deal NFL | Jake Long likely to leave STL without deal - Rotoworld.com

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports free agent LT Jake Long is ready to leave St. Louis without a deal Friday, and that "multiple teams" are showing interest.
Long spent three days in St. Louis, but it's obviously not a good sign for the Rams that he's leaving without having signed on the dotted line. Miami is believed to be his other serious suitor, but it sounds like are other teams are ready to get in the mix. With a host of fallback options having come off the market during Long's marathon visit, the Rams may have cost themselves their best chance at upgrading Sam Bradford's blindside situation.

re: Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)
 

Hasn't Asomugha become a "toast" Machine?
