Around the NFL...Week 12 Style

Somewhat related, if Nnamdi is released, and though he sucks, I'd definitely give him a look here.

He looks like he's fallen off a cliff. WTF happened to him? Glad we didn't chase him when he was available.

He's being asked to do things he didn't do in Oakland. Also being targeted much more often.


I know it's BR, but it's actually a good article with film breakdown.

Philadelphia Eagles: What's Wrong with Nnamdi Asomugha? | Bleacher Report




Interesting notes of cuts that could happen.

Eagles likely to clean house at season's end - Philly.com

Bears have released Amobi Okoye

I would take Nnamdi and put him at FS in a heartbeat.

If the Eagles cut Nnamdi I would sign him up right away. Last year he was hurt, this year the Eagles are a mess and he's just caught in a funk.

I would sign him for reasonable numbers but, as others have pointed out, he is past his prime. I think, at this point, he is a solid third corner and an upgrade over C. Griffin. Maybe he can be a solid CB2 not sure if he is a CB1 anymore.

An article printed about, linked somewhere in the forum (probably this thread), indicated he was an excellent technician rather than a speed guy but has lost a step. As a result, he can't make up for his missteps anymore.

I'd really think twice about signing Asomugha. Raiders weren't contenders with him and the eagles got worse as a team when he signed. And he's 31 years old.

For the past few years, ever since haynesworth- the top defensive free agent that has broke the bank- has not fared too well. Asomugha included. Seems like they get fed and then they are fat and happy. They aren't hungry anymore. Haynesworth seemed to prove this both figuratively and literally.

I would make it a rule to not break the bank with the top defensive free agent that's available especially if they're past 28 years old. I'm glad that teams have taken the offseason championship from the redskins like the eagles and the bills.

Nnamdi looks like he's running in slow motion out there. Sometimes players drop off quick, others it's a slower decline. Looks like he's run straight off the cliff.

He would play only when we rush four - passing situations - we are bottom of the league in sacks and he is exactly what we need. Plus he wont affect the cap for next year.

Good idea.

Let's run a 3-4 defense and put a guy in who only does one thing. One of the main pros of the 3-4 is that the OLBs can rush and drop so it makes protections schemes harder to coordinate. Putting in a "rush specialist" essentially mitigates that advantage.

Football is not Legos people.

Your missing my point. We need an edge rusher on passing downs rite now to make up for Orakpo. We sign him and let him do that than release him next year when Orakpo comes back. It isnt legos but it isnt as black and white as you make it out to be either with the 4:3 3:4. We do have packages now with four down lineman. Babin is certainly an upgrade opposite Kerrigan rite now and it would give Haz alot of flexibility in those situations.

Babin would be an upgrade if we were playing the 4-3. And I am sure he'd prefer playing in a system that he has played his whole NFL career than trying to adjust to a new scheme. Schemes do matter, just ask Andre Carter.
