Nnamdi Asomugha, Philadelphia Eagle

[QB Eagles]

Is that the real cover or another regional johnson?

Christ they got some big ass DBs now. Saw a picture of DRC standing next to Riley Cooper, and they are they same build. Also read a good note that although Cooper has really looked great in camp so far, at one point he was matched against DRC, who just completely ate Cooper's lunch and made it look as though he was expending almost no effort doing it.

PG, we expect up to the minute reports.

Still feel like something is going to shake out here soon.

You have 2 guys that excel at press man (which Im assuming Castillo reverts to majority of the time to maximize the talents on the outside) and one that excels at zone coverage.

If they are going to be playing nickel and have all 3 on the field at the same time no way Sameuls is able to benefit off playing slot corner. He doesn't blitz or play the run well. Matter of fact DRC is perceived the same way so this should be interesting.

word is it's not serious and he should practice tomorrow

Here's some All 22 analysis of Nnamdi's lowlights from the Giants game. 

http://www.phillymag.com/eagles/2012/10/03/all-22-review-what-it-tells-us-about-nnamdi/

My take is that he's not getting much help from the DC on either play, since Coleman is being instructed to prioritize the run on both, and that Allen has some responsibility for taking the bait on the Hixon play.

my takes fwiw

the first one is like 60/40 blame on assy...he completely whiffed on his chuck and coleman bit hard on the run...but if assy slows barden down by jamming him at the line then coleman can possibly recover

i tend to disagree with mcmanus as far as coleman supposedly being told to prioritze the run there.....they are clearly in a two deep...coleman is ten yards off the line here as opposed to seven yards off the line on the second play in question in which he clearly was playing the run...its also 2nd and 7 here with a single back versus 1st and 10 and an I formation on the second play which is much more of a run look

the second play is all on nate allen...hes supposed to be single over the top as coleman was clearly playing run on this play...assy didnt get a jam on this play but i dont think he was necessarily supposed to...he was supposed to take away the sideline and funnel the wr to the safety which he did

[SunMo]

ruben frank defends nnamdi like a mofo on twitter, thinks he's almost as unfairly criticized as donovan was

[Seabiscuit36]

I want to know Roob's story about taking Seth Joyner to Show & Tell

[ice grillin you]

roob is repulsive homer

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Assy has farged up on plenty of plays. That being said, whether Coleman is being "told" to do it or not, that bitch gets sucked up in shotgun empty backfield sets. He's farging horrible.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Asomugha's biggest problem is that DRC is so damn good. His second biggest problem is that the safeties are average on a good day.

Frankly, I think he's looked pretty solid in coverage this year. The rules favor the offense, and he pushes them to the limit. Regardless, he's been much more effective than he was last year.

[ice grillin you]

as long as assy doesnt have to run hes fine....he is outrageously slow
