Revis has also played on much better defenses than Nnamdi. One corner is not going to make an entire D better no matter how good he is.
The Raiders have been one of the worst run defenses in the league over the last few years because teams don't want to or need to pass because they've been able to run.
The Jets, on the other hand, have run an extremely aggressive blitz defense that gets pressure on the QB instantly. The Raiders rarely ever blitzed under Rob Ryan and the corners were left on an island by themselves routinely. It is much easier to play corner for a D coached by Rex Ryan, that is loaded with talent and revolves around a heavy blitz scheme.
Nnamdi has done just as well as any corner in the league when it comes to shutting down number 1 WRs. You're just hating on Nnamdi for reasons I don't understand.
At one point the other corners on the Jets defense was Donald Strickland, Lito Sheppard, and Drew Coleman. He made them serviceable.
That is true.
Blitz happy, yes. But that also means they are left on an Island. If anything the knock on the Jets defense has been though how they don't have an elite pass rusher. Notice how against the Bears almighty offensive line the Jets got absolutely no pressure and Darrelle Revis still shut down whoever he covered.
I'm not "just hating on Nnamdi". Everything I have has his name and number in it somehow. I'm just sick of how extremely overrated he is. It's like bandwagon fans for a certain player. Nnamdi doesn't always cover #1 receivers. He almost always sits on one side of the field.
So if you want to go by what someone does in one season, Arian Foster better than Adrian Peterson? Brandon Lloyd better than Andre Johnson?
Good example except there are a little more that would go into that. A teams offensive line and passing attack around that player would come into play. Both are better for Arian Foster than for Peterson. Even with that, outside of Peterson's injury, Fosters numbers aren't that much better.
And Lloyd I'd say is a better deep threat which is where a lot of his numbers come from. Overall still Johnson, good try though.
This previous year Asomugha didn't just shadow one side he followed the best WR around. Asomugha is better than Revis.
For like two games. vs Larry Fitz and Reggie Wayne.
Well apparently Adrian Peterson had a mind-blowing year and easily overtook Chris Johnson as the top runningback in the league.
Good try. I never said he easily did. I said I think he did and IMO I would rather have him. This mostly because he finally took care of his fumbling problem and is a better short yardage back now than in years past. If you like Chris Johnson better, good for you. There isn't a wrong answer between those two. It's obvious you're bitter though.
