Caption: … So we meet again …
I’m sure many are more than satisfied with the Antonio Cromartie-Darrelle Revis cornerback tandem general manager Mike Tannenbaum made possible. But… you know… I mean, it would have been an embarrassment of riches to have both Nnamdi Asomugha and Revis in the same secondary, anyway, right?
This may never happen (ever), but that doesn’t meant we can’t ponder the possibilities, does it?

UPDATE: Is the outlook a little more positive now?

Yea I actually believe Kyle Wilson will be a very great coverage Corner, maybe not as good as Revis or Nnamdi, but he will be better than Leon Hall, who is very very good, and better than the 3 guys taken ahead of him, Haden, Kareem Jackson, and McCourty , I wasn’t very high on

Revis is trying to get that deserved contract and a SB ring. The closes Asomugha will come to a SB ring is if he used his big contract money to buy the company that manufacturers the NFL’s SB rings.

Well he won’t ever become available. If he ever did though you can bet the Jets would be hot for him.

The Raiders had been shopping Nnamdi, but nobody wants to give up the talent & the cash needed to pull off the trade.
The Raiders are the most improved team on paper(when you come from a low base, it’s easier), but just dumping JMR for Campbell, the team is massively improved. I think they will be competing for a wild card.
Nnamdi may have some added motivation this year. BTW, he is also a class act.

Revis: I’m sorry dude, but I don’t think you are going to the pro bowl this year. It is going to be all Jets.

AKA…..Drew,
I had the same idea about California this weekend. It’s not the sunny California I grew up thinking it was from cold New York. Their 60-degree temperatures are a very cold 60 degrees.
The weather over there is beyond unpredictable. Comfortable, yes. But it was no joke in the Bay Area when you walked into the shade.
With that said, it was kinda hot on the turf. Maybe Nnamdi was a little overdressed.

Bent: LOL!
I still have a soft spot for Justin Miller. So his return on special teams didn’t work out as well as I would have hoped… but I would’ve loved to see him tried at safety a few years back. He was just a young hot-head who needed to be reeled in, is all.

Have been sick this week. So to pass the time, I’ve gone on a Terminator binge, seeing the entire mess in story chronological order — the first two movies, the entire Sarah Connor TV series, then the last two movies (mind-numbing, I know, but I’m a Virgo, what can I do?).
Many on here have talked about drafting John Connor along with the array of puns to be had with his name and the Termr. franchise.
However, in the TV series, there is also a Terminator assassin named Cromartie who just ripped up an entire squad of armored, helmeted (police) opponents. Ripped ‘em up pretty good, too.
So we have double the franchise connection here… just sayin’…

I mean… I wouldn’t go as far as to say it won’t happen. They’ll play with each other in the pro bowl in 2010.

Jeff says:
- “How did you trick Al Davis into giving you 15million per season? Cos Mike T is breaking my balls here”
Have any pointers on how I can fleece the Jets?
