Nnamdi Asomugha (All in one)

Joker · 03-26-2013, 09:20 PM

Why would anyone want to sign a soft corner in a division where they have receivers like Julio Jones, Roddy White , Vincent Jackson, Steve smith all physical receivers that would have there way with Nnamdi totally confuses me. We not talking about a guy who had a bad year he had two horrible years and never was known for his tackling abilities.
I made the comment earlier that Atlanta had a young corner that got hurt last year, why not check him outand he's definitely not afraid to get physical.

Nnamdi's best asset was his ability to get physical at the line and jam WR's forcing them out of their routes, and then sticking to them like glue.

It was why everyone said it was a mistake for him to go to a zone scheme.

And that check at the line of scrimmage last season would have provided valuable time for us to get to the QB.

How many sacks did we miss by .5-1s? That check on the WR gives us that extra time. I am starting to see his value more and more.

The Oak can become the Grasshopper only if he jumps into the knowledge.

If you're referring to Brent Grimes then I'm all for that. That guy can play. But he's in a similar situation. He had a torn achilles last year. That can be a career ender, and at the very least may have eroded some of his quickness.

So basically Nnamdi and Grimes both have unanswered questions about whether thay are the same player they used to be. And Grimes will be 30 when the season starts, so he's no youngster either.
