nnamdi asomugha isn't that great

He's got everything you look for in a CB. Tall, lanky, fast, explosion, closing speed, etc.

Yeah, they don't throw his way so basic gorilla math he takes away 1/2 or a 3rd of the field, right?

Not so fast buddy. What if teams didn't really have to throw against you then what would you say to all of his statistics?

That is what I remember the most about the most recent Raiders teams. They had terrible run defense and when they did throw there were plenty of holes to find on the otherside of the field so why throw towards nnamdi? Yeah, you can argue when they did throw his way that he picked off like 8 passses right?

Well thats fine and all but once again no need to test him anymore because there are other holes to be found.

A great defensive player creates turnovers. Where are his turnovers? He isn't a ballhawk like Charles Woodson or even Antoine Winfield. Antoine Winfield finds the ball, nnamdi does not.

Now here is the most damning argument I have. the raiders, suckers for speed and athletes, are ready to let this guy walk. I mean this guy has all the athletic talent there is. They have plenty of patience for these athletes with no skill set. nnamdi has athletic ability and skill and they are going to let a guy like that walk?

If the Raiders are ready to let you walk thats got to tell teams something. The next team he goes to he isn't going to have the luxury of chilling out on one side of the field. The next D-Coordinator is going to want to move him around and have him mirror the number 1 receiver. He didn't always have to do this in Oakland. They didn't use him like they used C-Wood. C-Wood is everything you want in a great defender. He makes momentum shifting plays.

Nnamdi hardly ever did that. There are at least 5 corners I would take over him: C. Wood, Asante, Darelle Revis, Antoine Winfield and yes even Antonio Cromartie. Cromartie gives up big plays but he also makes big ones
