Quick, how many passes defended has Nnamdi Asomugha averaged over the past 6 seasons? (1 Viewer)

I think the OP is confused with the difference between passes defended and passes deflected...

Those numbers are all pass deflections, not really a telling stat... A better comparison would be how many passes he's defended compared to others.

Look at a guy like Antoine Winfield, who has been one of the best all around cornerbacks in the league for years. He has never been a high pass deflection guy, or even interceptions, but still produced at a ridiculously high level even at 35 years old.

Don't know much about a shutdown CB do you? Hard to knock down passes when the ball isn't thrown your way.

You are really going to try to discredit Nnamdi's time with the Raiders?

Passes defended is a meaningless stat.

I wouldn' tgo that far....people clamoring for Keenan Lewis are hanging their hats on his 17 passes defended. (don't quote me on that #)

Its as telling a stat as interceptions.



However i guy being thrown@ a lot because he has Ike Taylor on the other side is bound to get more opportunities

While Nnamdi in his prime was bound to see less opportunities.....so u saw a guy like Stanford Route benefit from all the attention and the plays he made and sign a big contract a year later............and then flamed out.

So im hoping thats not the case with Lewis.
