The Nnamdi Asomugha Thread

two reasons the 49ers have chance for Nnamdi. One, he loves the Bay area. Second, he'd help the new stadium push

Seems like a weak argument, has nothing to do with the team...

Don't understand why'd he go to the 9ers. If he's using any team for leverage it has to be them.

I mean they are almost the splitting image of the Raiders.

-Average to good Defense
-Crappy QB
-Good RBs

I guess you can say it'd be a step up from Al Davis but still...

True enough statements. It still stands as fact that the Colts and Saints went to the SB with horribly ranked D's. I think the Colts were 30th or 31st when they won the SB. I could very well be wrong. The Chargers have been deep into the playoffs with less tha average D play. My main point is that while we have a potent offense, it's not potent enough to overcome defensive problems like we've had. Besides, I don;t much care what other teams have done. I've seen our O lose almost as many games for us as our D has given away. From Rosencopter to 4 downs at the Cards 1 yd line.

The Colts had the #1 defense in the playoffs the year they won the SB and the Saints weren't bad either.


We aren't talking about yearly rankings....we're talking about a historically bad ranking here. On a yearly ranking you can't drop below 31 and 32. If you assess how bad Houston was historic wise defensively, (especially pass defense) they don't remotely compare to Indy or the Saints rankings the years they won the SB. They aren't even in the same stratosphere. No way in hell would Indy or the Saints win a SB if their defense was in the process of giving up hail Marys' or if they have CBs falling down everywhere.
 
I dont buy the "good teams find a way to win" thing. I mean, sometimes, luck does matter.

If you're a team like the Texans, we blow game after game after game. Has nothing to do with the other team being a "good team finding a way to win."

Obviously being a good team matters, but sometimes it's just as simple as that.

The Colts had a historically bad run defense the year they won the SB. I believe they set records for their poor play. Ron Dayne of all people had 200+ yards against them.

It always strikes me as strange that players don't gravitate to Texas since there is no state income tax. Its my understanding that the players have to pay taxes in the state/county/city they play so in 8 away games they have to pay whatever, but seems like they'd make more money in Texas for away games. I wonder how much if at all this plays in to things.

The bad news for the Texans: They lost out on safety Eric Weddle after the Chargers reportedly “extended their budget” to get Weddle away from Houston.

The good news: They can use the money they saved to go after a cornerback with more value than Weddle. (And we actually like Weddle plenty.)

John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Texans are “working hard” on possible deals for Nnamdi Asomugha or Johnathan Joseph. They’ll have to shuffle around other contracts and give lots of upfront money to get a deal done, McClain writes.

We are more than 36 hours in sorta free agency, and we get the sense Asomugha’s market is still developing.

It wouldn’t shock us if a team we haven’t heard of yet enters the bidding if they learn the price isn’t as high as once feared.

So if this article is correct Weddle was ready to sign with us and the Chargers had to over extend to keep him. Were we going after Weddle and Aso?

Good teams find a way to win in all facets of the game. Whether it's offense one week, a defensive play another, or a key STs play another week.

The Texans found multiple ways to win on offense last season...too bad multiple doesn't = 10. Name the amount of times where they won a game defensively (and if you name the Rusty Smith game you will be shot on site :) ) or with the strength of STs? It didn't happen.

True enough, but they're still a team without a quarterback.

But they turned it on in the post-season and only allowed 155 ypg passing in the post season and only 82 ypg rushing.

Until the playoffs. Seems like Sanders came back and played out 9f his mind.

Read the quote again.. "The Colts had the #1 ranked defense in the playoffs" I know all about that horrible regular season run defense. Then they signed Booger McFarland and Bob Sanders was healthy and everything changed. They totally flipped their rankings once they reached the playoffs. It's also alot harder to overcome a historically bad pass defense then it is a bad run defense. Especially when the Colts' defensive scheme has always been geared to stop the pass and not the run...mainly because of the scoring pressure that Peyton puts on other teams.

By Tuesday morning, after the Chargers had extended their budget slightly to make sure they got Weddle from the clutches of the Houston Texans, it had become virtually certain that Burnett will be playing elsewhere this season.

Pancakes is up to his ussual doucheyness. Why would the Texans have to shuffle contracts to frontload. Is Nnamdi requesting a front loaded contract? He's just making sh*t up.

Why is it when they say they are working hard I envision both Aso and Joseph with Rick Smith making it rain @ the Gold Cup?
 
So I finally caved and signed up for this Twitter Crap to monitor the FA Market. I added Nnamdi and I'm glad I did. He references Houston seveal times over the last few days, here are some of his posts:

You're new to this, so you get a pass, but when you first look up someone famous on twitter, check and see if he's verified and how many followers he has. I can tell you without looking that the account you are following is fake.
 
The Aso twitter page is a fake. Don't buy into it. If it was real it would say verified with a check mark next to his name. Check out the Texans twitter profiles.

Hey guys, I been asleep all day. Can I get a general Aso update? Are the Jets still heavily in it?

It's turned into a teenage soap opra.

The Jets wanted him and were flirting and sending out signals. Then they decided that they are putting themselves too far out there and they didn't want to get hurt so they are telling their BFF knowing that it will flow back to Aso that they are talking to other guys and reports are they have stopped talking to one another.

Mean while Aso in response has started talking to this other team The Texans and have reportedly been talking about going to the fall dance together.

Some (Me) thinks they are trying to make each other jealous and still want to make it in the back seat of a used pinto.

Somebody needs to remind the fake Irishman that we also run a west coast offense and we have NO PROBLEMS completely deep passes against his overrated ass. Cortland Innegan is the biggest punk b*tch in the NFL and Andre Johnson permanently put his man card on suspension. :) The sad thing is, that even at the age of 35 Hasselbeck is a better NFL player than Innegan.

P.S.

LMAO at the "hands down, man down" reference. Who is this.. Cortland Innegan or Mark Jackson? Oh well it doesn't really matter, both are equally annoying.
