Patric Robinson is younger and is in need of coaching and still playing on his rookie contract. How about we wait and see who's better, I already know who's younger.

No need to wait. Nnamdi has proven himself for years. I'm not giving Robinson the edge over a proven veteran. Younger isnt always better.

You're right he has proven himself over the past two years in Phili that's why they canned him.

Did any player in Philly look good over the last two years? I mean, when you make your Offensive Line coach your Defensive Coordinator there's going to be problems. I believe Nnamdi has every chance of redeeming himself and I'd rather it be with us than some other team.
TheKillerBs and Joker like this.

I agree he has the right to redeem himself just not at the expense of younger players or having to pay to much.

Philly canned everybody. Nobody played good there over the past two years. It was a horrible work environment. A good coach plays his players to their strengths. Man coverage best suit him and Rodgers-Cromartie. They had them both playing zone. Then they traded their best zone defender, Asante Samuel. Its the situation. Not the player.

They didn't play zone constantly, he had the opportunity to play man as well and didn't do very well. So I guess as long as he plays man coverage he's ok but don't ask him to play zone because he's to stupid to know his responsibilities.

Im not trying to be disrespectful, but have you ever played corner or safety? Zones can get ridiculously complicated, especially when you haven't had to deal with them in 9 years. I hated playing zone. I hated the checks and balances of it. It didn't allow me to play instinctive. You spend more time thinking then reacting. Its just not suited for everybody.

Yes, I played corner and then moved to safety. Lets just agree to disagree, I think his better days are behind him and not really ready to see Greer go. If they sign Nnamdi I think they will cut Greer for the money, considering they signed Lewis
