nnamdi asomugha out in San Fran, eric wright to get the start

[PhillyB]

just heard on espn. details forthcoming. apologies if already posted.

 

CB Eric Wright was drafted by the Browns, played for the Lions in 2011 when we played them, spent a season in Tampa Bay in 2012 when we played them twice, and was traded to the 49ers in the offseason.

 

Our current offensive roster has played him three times, so that's good news.

a no brainer to bring him in and get some insider info..

As a 49ers fan, this makes no sense. Eric Wright is horrible, and Nnamdi played solid in the few games he played.

 

 

I have a feeling Nnamdi goes back to Oakland. He won't have to move his family, and as Nick Foles showed us, the Raiders desperately need help.

 

Nnamdi is still a very good press man corner on the right side of the field, I don't know why the Eagles and 49ers moved him the the left, or forced him into more zone coverage.

are carlos rogers and tarell brown still your starting CBs? it looks like asomugha was second string anyway, so it's not like this would effect the starting lineup.

 

either way i expect we'll take advantage of this by spreading that secondary out on the field. expect to see a lot of smith/lafell/ginn sets to see if we can get anyone lined up against wright.

Eric and Nnamdi are like the same player. Both started out has absolute studs then fell off hard...We can only hope the coaches seen something in practice that made them go with Wright over Nnamdi.

Yes, those are the starters, and Brock is the #3, and has been VERY good.

 

No, he won't make a huge difference, I just don't agree that the guy he was cut for is better. Nnamdi came in on a min contract and his contract was all incentives. No reason to cut him AT ALL.

Asomugha wasn't a starter.

Because "a lot of guys are winning with 2's and 3's". Our best corner for years could damn near lock wide out's all day but he would still draw penalties in the flow of the game. I s'pose the philosophy is that if a top 3 corner is gonna draw flags at bad times then what difference does it make. Take care of whats up front first and the guys in the back will flourish regardless.

Ahem

We have munnerlyn, florence, etc. We're good.

Nnamdi has to go through claims, so we're going to be there the bottom of the list.  I'd claim him for war secrets and to see what he has left. He's only making vet minimum.

 

As for Eric Wright, he gets burned a lot.  Never liked his game.

Yeah, but sometimes they move him over and put Rogers in the slot. Brock was the starter two years ago and got hurt, then Culliver was inserted and played masterfully and never lost his spot. It's ashame we lost Culliver before the season started.

 

 

Oh, and we cut Marcus Cooper just before the season started and he's now graded as the 4th best CB in the NFL  for the Chiefs and only played in 5 games.

 

We had an embarressment of riches to start the year.

What about San Diego? Just another Cali team he wouldn't have to more for.

That is for players with less then 4 accrued years.
