How do they have the money for all these guys?
Lesson said:Was Nnamdi just in the wrong scheme in Philly or is he done?

Yeah, that doesn't mean much though. Nnamdi's a damn good corner who was just used completely wrong in Philadelphia. One of the better press corners in the league, quite honestly, and his signing with the whiners doesn't bode well for the division. I know everyone here would kill to have signed him too.
I agree that he's likely lost his recover speed. But make no mistake. He will absolutely be effective in that scheme. That wide 9 garbage that Philly was running was really not suited to a guy like Nnamdi. Now that they'll have him playing press off the line, I'm fairly confident that he'll regain *most* of his form. That said, if Givens or (insert other guy here) can get a clean release, then they'll have the upper hand.Lesson said:The Dude said:That's the same Nnamdi that Brandon Gibson beat deep repeatedly in week 1 of 2011?

I don't know.
He is 31 now and it is possible he has lost a step. He's probably an above average corner at this point in his career in the right scheme but I don't think he will play at a level near to what he played in Oakland.

They played him in the slot, which he had never played before, and he definitely lost a step. My question is if it was just a nagging injury that he played through that slowed him down.Lesson said:Was Nnamdi just in the wrong scheme in Philly or is he done?
