When do they rotate Nnamdi? Shortly after he eclipsed the 200 yard mark?The whole point was that Nnamdi was burned by Floyd that afternoon. In fact that was not the case. He caught one ball on Nnamdi and it was a perfect throw and catch and well defended. I'm not saying it's impossible to do, but it's damn hard to do.

At any point during the game as the rectum tearing was ensuing.
Clever. Who knows why they decided not to, I don't understand why that is Nnamdi's fault?
You really don't think Nnamdi could handle Floyd when looking at his past resume of shutdown corner play. For god's sake Fitz caught one pass for 18 yards vs. him this year. That's just how the Raiders play. Doesn't make sense to me, but he does his job as well as anyone in the game"The Waterboy"

"Fitz caught one pass for 18yds this year" is not a great argument with the terrible QB's he has throwing to him...not to take sides or even jump in but I thought that should definitely be pointed out...

Your point is flawed. Fitz also caught a short TD pass that game when Nnamdi wasn't covering him. Also, it needs to be pointed out. Phillip Rivers is a stud QB. Maybe 3 of them on the planet like him. The Rivers/VJAX combo was always Nnamdi's kryptonite. That elite pairing was something special. Rivers got one pass by Nnamdi in a game where he completed 400 plus yards. Is that another terrible QB?
I bet others have chimed in already, but you don't get credit for a pass defensed if it's complete to the receiver.That stat is counting passes defensed *successfully*.

In your best estimation as a Raiders homer, will he be on BMW all day Sunday?
Maybe its just me, but I think you took this the wrong way. the original question was "why didn't the Raiders move him over after Floyd started blowing up?". I didn't see the game, so I can;t say for sure, but I'd go with "because maybe as soon as they moved him off Gates, Gates would blow up. So they stuck with the gameplan".Clever.

No need to be on the defensive. I'm not saying anything is Nnamdi's fault, it was just a question. Someone said earlier that he covered Gates that game and he has trouble with TE's more so than WR's. I thought maybe that was a factor since Floyd is a big body.Clever.

I get it. But there isn't an official "thrown to" stat out there I could find. I do know that Nnamdi was "thrown to" just 29 times all last year. So his average is about 2 "thrown to's" a game. Revis had about 4 times as many "thrown to's" as Nnamdi last year.

I don't think that BMW will be covered all day by Nnamdi. But he will be mostly his responsibility. But the bigger WR's like Floyd and big TE's that have had success against Nnamdi also had elite QB's throwing to them. I don't consider Hasselbeck to be on River's level.For what that is worth.

Because it's not about one player. They were winning with the formula they had going.

I think its fair to say they won that game in spite of their defense. There was a lot of room for improvement there.

3-10-OAK 40 (10:47) (Shotgun) M.Hasselbeck pass incomplete deep left to G.Tate. OAK-N.Asomugha was injured during the play. His return is Questionable.
Next play...
4-10-OAK 40 (10:42) (Shotgun) M.Hasselbeck pass deep left to M.Williams pushed ob at OAK 13 for 27 yards (M.Huff).

Sarcasm?They gave up 165 passing, 75 rushing, 4 sacks, 1 pick and 2 fumble recoveries and a defensive TD.That's an excellent defensive performance.
