The Nnamdi Asomugha Thread

fiasco west said:
You mean the report that said they were going to work on trying to get him for the next 12-14 hours?

When you put it like that "Seal the deal" that means it'd be the breaking news story on ESPN right now since it is all agreements right now.

Meh...semantics.

Bottom line is that any of us who hoped to have him in a Texans uniform are most likely going to be sorely disappointed.

And how much success did his dad have as a HC? About the same as Rex at this point. buddys greatest achievement was as the co nordinator of the '85 Bears defense. He was terrible in Philly and Arizona as a HC. Talked a hell of a game, loved by his players but made dumb personel moves and never could get over the hump.

Yeah, going to two AFC championships back to back in your first two seasons is definitely something to be ashamed about as an under achiever. You're right he sucks.

As Texans fans we have a skewed perspective of the Jets. We just want to win at this point and would be happy with a playoff appearance.

From the perspective of perrenial playoff teams and their fans the Jets are a "me too" laughing stock. While we cry for a fiery coach like Ryans here he is no better than his dad, Wade Philips. Kubiak etc.....great co ordinators but horrible head coaches-personel guys.

How many AFC/NFC championship games has Ryan been to? How many have Wade and Gary been too? Se they're nothing alike.

The sad part about it is the Jets and Texans were in the same boat record wise when Gary took over. Now the Jets are light yrs ahead as an organization. The Jets are a franchise players want to play for. The Texans are not. (Thanks for nothing BoBBy/Gary/Rick)

All of the excuses about the Texans being up against the cap are begining to ring hollow. The Jets are over the Cap and if they want Aso and Aso wants to pla for the Jets then Tannenbaum/Ryan will make it happen. (BTW Aso played for Rob Ryan in Oakland so he already knows the Jets system.) Given the chance to play for the Jets and a SB or a chance to play for the Texans who hope to make the playoffs if the $$$$ are close the decision is a no brainer.
 
From PFT:

Asomugha day two update: Jets interest is serious, Bucs may be out
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on July 27, 2011, 9:57 AM EDT

Nnamdi Asomugha’s first day on the sorta open market was relatively quiet. Expect that to change Wednesday.

From NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi:

“I keep hearing from well placed relible NFL sources that this Jet talk and Nmandi Asomugha is serious and I mean serious,” Lombardi wrote on Twitter.

A report from Mlive.com’s Tom Kowalski echoed the sentiment. Kowalski is a Lions beat writer, so it’s possible Detroit has heard that Asomugha is set on exploring his options in New York before entertaining other ideas.

Tampa Bay made some sense as a destination, but they don’t sound interested. First: They are keeping Aqib Talib. Second, G.M. Mark Dominik had this to say when asked about Asomugha:

“The way we’ve been building this football team . . . over the last couple of years, I think there’s a blueprint that’s already sitting in front of you all, and we’re going to follow that blueprint,” Dominik said via the St. Petersburg Times.

While we’re still just in the rumor stage, it’s worth remembering the Jets blueprint too: They like to make a big splash.

Bill Romanowski just said on 610 that Nnamdi is not a shutdown corner, that Revis is better because he can take away anything. Still Asomugha would make an excellent teammate just not isolated on island in proverbial shutdown corner terms.

Pft. Forget all this talk about the Jets cap money. I think the real concern here should be how many idiots are going to be online on Madden 12 with the Jets. :foottap:

(Jokes, obviously, but it's going to be bad if Aso goes there.)
Click to expand...

At first there will be a few. Then after realizing they don't have all that great of pass rushers, receivers, qb or running game they will look elsewhere.

Since those are the things that matter most. If you just have corners with speed and agility on madden you can get by.

And he will NEVER get any further, just like his dad! Thats why I said as Texans fans our perspective is screwed. Rex has to cross Everest, while Kubiak and the Texans cant get over the speed bump.

I'm still amazed that people have actually thought that Bob and Smith were going to really be huge contenders in this sweepstakes in the first place. They build through the draft and sign mediocre free agents. That's their MO. And Bob already stated months ago that "we're not going to do anything crazy" which means we're not going to slug it out with other teams in a bidding war for a top tier player in Bob's language. People seemed to have forgotten that Bob said that months ago.

If the Jets do sign Nnamdi then the Texans take away Cromartie because no way they could keep him too!

Houston wouldn't sign Cromartie because his dick works extremely well. They don't want the negative rep that comes with a guy with working junk.

It's a failure of an MO...it'd be insane to not change up the game after this long.

That would make the Texans look like big time losers to a big boy franchise. We desperately need a top CB. The Jets already have one and need to sign other players. They still end up signing the best guy and we just get their left overs in Cromartie who is overrated as hell any way. That would look like every other off season for the Texans, but that's what I've expected this entire time and for the record I think that you might be right about that happening.
 
Here's the thing. We need to get Aso. On the field Joseph + weddle will be fine and we will look OK at the end of the day. Hell Weddle + 2 CB's not on our roster right now are ok... but that isn't the only problem. We need to land a blockbuster. It isn't like people around the league would be like "oh wow, why'd they do that"... aka Roy Williams to lil-D... instead it would be like "they're serious about winning NOW"... It would send the message to OTHER players. We will have to overpay one time. We can over pay for Aso or we can overpay for someone else that's a huge splash. This splash makes us the best value. Call him. Tell him we will find a way to do 18/yr. Cap room wise that doesn't make sense.. I know... but it is the only way that we will ever NOT have to overpay for stars...

Texans got Chris Bosh'd

It will always be hard to draw elite talent when your team is basically AJ, a one-year wonder RB (first Slaton, now Foster), and a bunch of mediocrity

You're right, but I've accepted the fact that it isn't going to change until we get a new regime in here that's committed to winning with a strong minded HC that can sell his team and a real NFL GM instead of some flunkie that was Kubiak's boy in the Denver front office.

That's better than what the Jets had before Rex arrived. In the NFL all it takes is the right HC and GM combination to change the culture at their destination. Rex has epitomized that notion and ran with it. Todd Haley seems to be on the same track. Meanwhile, we've got an owner that says "We're on the right track" after a 6-10 season in year 5 of our current regime. :wadepalm:

I'm in the same camp, man. It's pathetic. It'd be maddening if I really cared anymore. Houston's front office has been chipping away at my fandom for a long time now with their lack of doing anything productive to change this team.

Rex left Baltimore and brought good Ravens players with him

Kubes left Denver and brought Ron Dayne with him:foottap:

I don't think that we're out of it. The fact that its so quiet actually makes me feel a little better. Of course I'm going to hear on the radio that I'm wrong in 3... 2... 1....

...and there it is...Houston fans thinking no one wants to come here...

Got nothing to do with regime...dude talked about playing in NY 3 years ago. Not saying it was in the cards, but good god. Believe what y'all want to believe, but I'm not about to blame this regime for Asomugha not coming here....

This regime has established an acceptance of mediocrity. Nobody wants to be mediocre in the NFL...with the exception of our front office, who jumps into the mediocrity pool and rubs that bitter mediocrity juice all over their bodies while talking about the right course.

I didn't know Aso signed anywhere yet. Reading the last page it sounds like the Texans missed out on Aso, Weddle, Joseph, and everyone else.

As long as Aso is not signed there will be tons of rumors.

9ers make sense if he wants to stay in Cali...if that is his only priority that is. Out of all the teams mentioned they are the worse IMO. It looks like they aren't interested in solving their QB problem either.

I'm not blaming the regime because they can't get Asomugha.

I'm blaming them because tHey can't get any body who is anybody.

We won't get Cromartie, we won't get Grimes, we won't get Joseph. If anything we might get another freak'n Carr.


That's the big splash Mcnair was talking about

I wish this thing would just end. Would be great if we get him, but we need to move on fast if we don't. There are other players available and we have a couple of holes to fill.

He wants to go to NY. The Jets want him. The freak'n media doesn't even mention us in the race anymore.

We'reto busy signing Damien Lewis because we can't find a decent NT out there named Kelly.
