I just heard Kirwin and Ryan mention Nnamdi Asomugha doing something very stupid during the Falcons game.
Can anyone enlighten me?

He got burned by Julio. Couldn't hold Roddy or Julio's jock all day. Perhaps not stupid but supposedly the second best cover corner to Revis will not be in Philly next year, at least not at his current contract. Didn't do anything as stupid as Deangelo Hall but then again, many can't.

He got beat on a streak by a faster player...that is what happened. It was a 1 on 1 and Julio was just faster. No safety help either.
He hasnt been as bad as the media has been protraying him to be.. Yesterday was just an overall horrible day for the defense though. Like DRC got two penalties in one play & he has been playing extremely well this season.

Well the point was Nnamdi was supposed to be the CB who could play 1 on 1. It isn't just Julio, it was Antonio Brown, it was Jacoby Jones, it was the defensive PI against the Lions. Here is a nice article about how he isn't what he was in Oakland. Some speculate a lot of it was because when teams played Oakland before they ran the ball more and the other corner back was terrible so of course they threw away from Nnamdi. Now, DRC has actually been one of the best CB's so of course Nnamdi has been thrown at more. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1363263-philadelphia-eagles-whats-wrong-with-nnamdi-asomughaForgot to add the Fitzgerald burned him as well. And look what CSNPhilly just put up. http://www.csnphilly.com/football-philadelphia-eagles/eagles-talk/Asomugha-beaten-deep-again-in-Eagles-los?blockID=794847&feedID=692&awid=7620843684448972824-689But yeah, Nnamdi is playing "extremely well" this season.

Loved the signing; but I was dead wrong. He just doesn't have it anymore. He always got away with contact but now hes even slower

Same. Loved it when we got him. Now I wish Dallas "won" his contract. House will be cleaned this offseason.

Not making excuses, but most of those plays where he got 'burned' were ones where the safety is supposed to help over the top and failed to do so. Not on NA IMO

When you are paid the money he is paid, you shouldn't need safety help. He almost needs it on a regular basis which is the problem

humbly disagree with the bolded. Sometimes everyone needs help over the top, even Revis. Its a team and honestly I don't care what he gets paid. Its not my money. I just want a team that has players with some fire and maybe even some basic knowledge of where they are supposed to be during a play. Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman just are not good. They make others around them look poor. JMO.Thats not to say that NA, on that play, shouldn't have smashed Julio in the face at the line. Thats supposed to be his schtick and he hasn't been doing that very well.
