@@DepthFromAbove until he got exposed in zone coverage which is what Philly ran instead of the man-to-man scheme Oakland ran. Don’t kid yourself.

He was an island when he was in Oakland.
I never fault a player for trying to get as much money as possible because when they a cut a player what does the organization say ? “It’s just business” so then Why blame a player for treating it as a business? How does that make any sense
The later years he was senile and passed it, but the Raiders were one of the most successful franchises for years. Plus he was the first to hire minorities as coaches and women in front office. He did get in his own way at times and burned bridges, but, I would never doubt his football acumen.
He was considered a shut down corner b4 Revis got that title but yea I agree. Champ did it FOREVER n had the stats to back it up, Revis did it for a good little while n had some years where his stats lived up with his dominance n Namdi was really good for about 3 maybe 4 year stretch.
I lived in the dorms all my 4yrs too. Like Nnamdi it was convenient. I too was the “senior” guy in the dorm. Those were some of the best days of my young adult life.
@@69Delphine420 tht would have been perfect combo but instead they made them both play zone with weak safety fucking Kurt colmen I can't even remember the other one by tht time Dawkins was in Den smh He would have been shut down
@@omarflores385 nah he was the same.. raiders ran man and eagles ran zone that was the difference. They wasted him, shouldve been a name like derrel revis
@Charlie B im mean it's not like he was able to get the Raiders to win 12 divisional championships, 3 Super bowls or have more thab 12 players n coaches reach the hall of fame.. Or appear in more than 4 Super bowls.. Oh when he went from a coach in San Diego to the Raiders it's not like he changed the whole franchise around in one year n producing an over 60% winning from the 60s to the 90s.. Nah Al Davis didn't do that..
One of my all time favorite Raiders 🏈. I remember that he drove an old I think Nissan while everyone else were driving fancy luxury cars. A total class act👍🏻
Al Davis a remarkable man who succeeds at every venture he took in life. From where he started life that's where it ended and everything in between legendary
I really wonder how Nnamdi's career would've been like if he had stayed at Safety. He definitely had the size for it, was a solid tackler, good instincts, and had a great work ethic. He mentions that the transition to CB was super difficult, and his first couple seasons back that claim up, so I could only imagine the progress he'd make in a position that he already felt comfortable in.
I lived in the dorm my entire time in college...but I was an RA for three years. I should had quit my senior year, but I could not turn down free room and board $$
Man! I didn’t know he moved to corner. I always thought he played corner on account of how amazing he was at the position. The Eagles had no idea how to use him. He should’ve never left the Raiders. IMO
Never seen a great player fall totally apart quicker than this guy. He went to the Eagles and he was basically a different player. It's one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen in pro football.
It happens quite a lot actually . More so with corners as well. Norman when he went to Washington. Nnamdi was also getting up there in age. I think he was around 30 by then . Wide receivers were really taking over the game by then .
Everyone is laughing, but he maximized his college experience as a star athlete by staying in the dorms. Why rush being an "adult" enjoy youth while you can.
Eagles should be ashamed to not put him in a man to man defense..at least on his side and zone the oher side. Shameful..he could've been at least a fringe hall of famer...he was that cold as a man to man defender
@@Pineemonkeys2ndchannel well he earned it, so hopefully that's not a foreign concept to you, it's not given, it's earned. If you're an athlete, trust me, meal plans aren't expensive. You can eat a much as you want 3 times a day, massive spread, no shopping/cooking/cleaning, it's way cheaper in terms of money and time.
@@dontcare696 see, you would actually see those guys get beat. Nnamdi lined up against the best and went like 4 or 5 years without getting beat. He was unreal

Nnamdi was, for a short time, the best cover corner in the league.
Then the "dream team" happened smh
5 years in the nfl is a long time
Until he went to the eagles & qb’s threw at him.

Once a RAIDER, always a RAIDER- Al Davis (except for lane kiffin-f lame kiffin)
Just shows how much Al Davis knew about his players
He was a terrible Owner lol
And football

The shutdown corner after Champ Bailey and before Revis Island
Perfect description

Ruined his career
Couldn't believe the way they used him he is a lock down corner and watching him play zone hurt
When Big Red made the O Line coach the DC
Damn man, Nnamdi is honestly one of the coolest, hardest players of all time. This man could shut down anyone.( before he went to the eagles)
Mr. Kerry Washington!

@@enriquedeltoro227 Eli was the first overall pick Al never had a shot at him
When al tells you to move to corner you move to corner

One year he had only 12 passes thrown his way!! That's nuts!!

I always loved Nnamdi because he is the rare quiet well-spoken introvert man who was a phenomenal NFL talent
Mr. Kerry Washington
Al Davis a remarkable man who succeeds at every venture he took in life. From where he started life that's where it ended and everything in between legendary
Al wasn’t wrong though
Nnamdi is a good interview. Humble, well spoken man who went where corners go to die........ Philadelphia. Should have stayed in Oakland
Respect from a Broncos Fan.
His movies and acting are great as well
Yet they mock Mr. Davis. Guess he knew a thing or two. Imagine wasting that man to man talent, on a fucking safety roster spot
I lived in the dorms all 4 years. It was def great
I just realized after watching a lot of games this guy has been in this is the first time I’ve ever heard him talk.

I think it could've extended his prime, as well.
He was my favorite when I was younger
His living situation in college was far better than my living situation at my first college called US Navy.
Did you whine about it to your officer?
@@teecee4459 my officer complained to me about how bad it was when he was enlisted.
He sounds so down to earth like talking to a very mature college kid lol
That freshman thing was hilarious😂😂
Man's a pretty good actor he did great in "Sylvie's love"
He would've been a great safety too
@Dr. Fresh_2k he did play safety towards the end
Nnambdi was easily the smartest guy in the room. Rich interviews like a kid that never left his white-flight suburb
When mommy and daddy pay for everything it's hard to understand
Lol
Al Davis said some “you’re playin’ corna no questions asked”
I lived in the dorm my entire time in college...but I was an RA for three years. I should had quit my senior year, but I could not turn down free room and board $$
One of the greatest corners.
Al was crazy. But a genius

Turns out Al Davis was 100% right.

Al knows his football
this was really good stuff! interesting and funny
Lol 😂 he was buying kids beers 🍺 lol 😂
Al Davis ruined his dream of being the next Ed Reed? He was out of position in Philly
The 🐐
He was the best right side CB in the league.
I can't believe Nnamdi Asomugha never made the playoffs!!!!
When an NFL owner has a better eye for talent than a 'revered' coach. Andy Reid's stupidity at making Nnamdi play zone ruined his HOF career.
It turned bad quick for him scheme is very important
he still a hall of famer whe. it all said and done
Al Davis had done it all. Al was a coach and Commissioner of the AFL before the Merger
Way to go more in depth with that
Looks so fucking ridiculous with Eisen's desk raised up and him looking down. See this so often. These clowns need feel superior.
Retired to young!
If you live off Campos you get did u say money? Oh really. Who gives you this money 🤷🏽♂️ idk curious
he means you get money back, considering its usually cheaper to move off campus because there’s no meal plan
Scholarship athletes who live off campus get money from the school to cover the cost of rent and food.

Could be but he does a lot of film and stuff so likely just doesn't think about his nfl career as much as most
Thanks for the bust as an eagle. Most overpaid corner and over hyped corner in history.
Eagles didn’t use him right, how is that his fault?
Blame your eagles Didnt use him right
To be fair, Eagles haven’t used a corner right since before Namdi, but man did he suck.
Wasted Asante Samuel too
@@FupaDoncic Asante made 4 pro bowls as an eagle.
