QB's Once FEARED Him...Then SOMETHING Changed...What Happened to Nnamdi Asomugha?

- Nnamdi Asomugha is one of the greatest Oakland Raiders to ever play. He's also one of the worse Philadelphia Eagles. His time in the NFL was the tale of 2 careers. One great and one poor.

I'm from Philly, the Eagles were playin Nnamdi in zone coverage. He's always been a press corner. Andy Reid had a habit of not playing players to their strengths.
Willie Beaman I fully agree with you Andy wasted his talent 100% and it sucks that Nmandi Asomugha is viewed as a free agency Bust
When he first signed I thought him DRC and Asante Samuel no one would be able to throw the ball but Andy made his O-line coach D coordinator and the rest is history
Nah it’s judt Andy like zone corners. Asante Samuel really excelled with the eagles
Idk_efg that's very true.
Willie Beaman that man speaking the truth
The fact that this guy gave up 18 catches in two seasons is absolutely INSANE. As an Eagles fan, why did Andy Reid make this man play zone? Like this guy was legit impossible to throw at.
It's classic Andy Reid grab a guy who is good at one style of play and try to change him to Andy's scheme. It really never works but Andy kept doing it
@@datdemboy Two words......Danny Watkins.
O my god I remember the press conference after the pick and Andy saying although he is old he knees are young since he hasn't played that much football. Lol than Howard Mudd wondering why dude was late to practices and giving half ass attempts, and saying he turned on the TV one night and there Watkins is helping Philly fireman lol
@@datdemboy I loved Andy, I wish he got that Lombardi trophy here in Philly but he was so stubborn and for every great thing he did, he did one that made you scratch your head. You could do a whole top 10 list of weird things Andy did. I will nominate a few right now. Danny Watkins, Nnamdi playing zone, drafting Jeremy Bloom, wasting a 2nd round pick on Kevin Kolb, overpaying Stacy Andrews hoping that his brother Shawn would start loving football again, 1st round pick on Freddy Mitchell, letting Trotter go the first time, the game where we started Winston Justice at left tackle and he gave up 6 sacks and Andy REFUSED to help him. I thought of those in five minutes, id love to really sit down and put some thought into a list.
Yeah Andy was way to stubborn. And I feel as that 2010 and 2011 draft eventually sealed his fate. That game against the giants was brutal. And he never adjusted never even lined a te out there to help justice out. Plus when he drafted a position it was always the wrong guy ie taking l.j Smith over Jason witten, Nate Allan over tj ward. And remember that year he took like 2de in the same draft all so called fireballs. Who was it Ricky Sapp Daniel teo. After already landing Brandon Graham and signing Darrel tapp
Only giving up 8 catches in a season as a CB is just mind blowing.
110 - Man Coverage 🔥🔥🔥
8 means you can remember every play that year before you go to bed and know exactly how to fix it. Beast
He was crazy good in his prime and those stats are insane. He is a beast!
Deion Sanders was better
@@wittyexquisite Definitely.
@@wittyexquisite who’s arguing that?
Dude wrote with his right hand through out his career in Oakland then Philly wanted him to start writing with his left hand. That's on Philly.
I Rep That WEST!
I write with BOTH hands 🖐🏾 🤚🏾
And I’m from Philadelphia.
We just BETTER
And this California nigga couldn’t keep up
HOOD CLASSIC TELEVISION nah you just gaaay heard bout y’all nasty niggas 😂
Mr_ Sir I heard that same shyt about LA niggas... they 🍉🍏🥝🍌🍐🍊🍋🍓🍇 then a basket.... but hey you just might be living up to that stereotype ... right ....right..!!!
Mr_ Sir
Your mother is really a man.
Life time Eagles fan - You’re 100% correct in your analogy
Managed his football money and career well, married Kerry Washington, and is doing even better in life after football..I'd say he's a walking "W" whether you include his time in philly or not.
Glad to hear he winning in Life
Honestly it wasn't just his fault in Philly, hes a press corner, man to man, Kelly used him in a Zone scheme, barely using his strengths.
Rare for the majority of certain NFL players, good for him though.
@@ymfexperience3138 Wow.
@@treverfanjoy2871 Andy Reid not Chip Kelly.
Vince Young called the Eagles a dream team not Vick....
Looks like us Eagles fans are the only ones to catch that mistake!😄🍺🍻
Andy is trash for real for real
I thought that as well
Bills fan here - I caught that as well
U RITE RICKY BUTLER
I’m just happy he found another passion and is smiling with his beautiful wife! Too many times football legends end up on drugs or turn to alcohol to fill their time once football is up.
Igbos are usually well brought up by their parents, and so dont typically misbehave themselves
He's acting. He's been acting for a minute. I believe he's in the movie Black and Blue.
🙏
He also made sure to take college academics seriously, and graduate with 4 years. He also went to Cal too, not some dumb-boy football school
I remember on Madden back when he was on the raiders the announcers would say his name hella weird like
Asa Muga lmao
Bruh!! this comment made my day,so much memories on the PS2 when gaming was actually good😥😩
LMAO goat comment
@@RAIDERTONY323
The last Madden I played had Brees on the cover.
Last good one, IMO
He was an auto pick machine
Hell yeah. I used to be rotflmao 😂😂😂
Dude married Kerry Washington. He is automatically a GOAT for that.
Craft D. Pham....that's what I'm talkin bout, dude is a legend....
She ruined him lol
@@coachp651 nah, the Eagles ruined him. Dude went on to stack his bread in multiple industries. He is still winning post NFL career.
I actually miss watching Scandal
FACTS BRO
He choose the Eagles when He shoulda signed with the Jets...Him & Revis woulda been something special
Him and Revis each playing man and locking down both #1 and #2 receivers would've been a nightmare for opposing QBs and offensive coordinators.
no team would have payed 30 mil for half of their defensive backfield..... in phil he got his bag, and was looking to get away from football
They were already pretty crazy. Antonio Cromartie was no scrub. 6'3" corner with a 45 inch vertical leap.
ON GOD
Would have been nasty.
Man it got so bad for this guy in Oakland that people absolutely refused to throw his way. There are no shut down corners like a prime Nnamdi right now.
there was no need to throw his way.. Raiders had no rush defense ... i watched all the games...why take a chance when he doesn't cover your best receiver,, put your best receiver on the opposite side and run the ball all day long... so easy... even a caveman could do it.. he got exposed when he left the Raiders, just as I expected...
JOE CIOCCO literally the same thing happened to Richard Sherman a few years ago
Nnamdi was a great corner. No doubt. But he was not a true shutdown corner. A true shutdown corner shadows the opposing team's top receiver. Nnamdi did not. Teams didn't need to target him, because they could simply put their top receiver on the opposite side, or run the ball on sub-par Raider defenses.
@@supersayainjesus7204 that was scheme, the Raiders simply lacked the foresight to move him around. You don't get to redefine "shutdown corner" he shut down his side no matter what so-called advanced analysis surface. The Raiders figured they could double a side, and leave him on the other. In his prime I'm sure they'd have similar results if they moved him around.
@Boss Cadet Revis wasn't better, don't forget that the Jets were blitz happy, and he didn't have to cover long. You boys also forget to give Cromartie his respect.
Nnamdi used to be my favorite player. I have one of his gloves he gave me after a game
Dope
Hell yeah shout to Nnamdi hell of a run
🤷🏼♂️
One of my fav pics of woodson
@@ThisIsHustleCentral fr.. gotta love Oakland babyy!
Nnamdi Asomuough was a 98 overall in Madden 12 and then he fell off completely! I’ve been wanting this video for so long!!! Thanks flem!!
I still play that joint on ps3 hahaha
Lifxzvb madden13 is fun af
Facts. Couldn't throw in that direction..at all!!! Asante Samuel was good too
12, 13 and 25 was an amazing 3 year run for Madden imo
I loved Nnamdi's game when he was a Raider. From everything I've seen, he's a damn good man also. His charity work and down-to-earth personality are second to none. I had no idea about the movie credentials, but I'm not surprised as he's a consistent high achiever in life. I wish him the absolute best and hope he has an amazing life with his phenomenal wife.
I remember in madden 11 & madden 12 this dude was a 98 😭 he was my favorite raider
99 in madden10
Most cbs give up 10 tds per year. This dude gives up 10 catches, d a m n
Incredible stats this dude was very good!
Nnamdi Asomugha had one of the hardest falls from best in the league to out of the league
STFU everybody leaves the league. Cant play forever
USTFU
@@damonroberts4287 😂🤣💀 who
U bro
@@damonroberts4287 ya aiight.
As a Raiders fan I miss this man on the field in the silver and black right now.
Corners don't play corner forever, if they moved him back to FS he would have extended his career a good 3-4 years.
Um not true Deon sanders, aronde barber, champ Baily were all consistent till the end
HYPE WARRIOR!! Ronde barber actually played safety towards the end of his career
Tell that to Terrance Newman
HYPE WARRIOR!! Sanders and Barber did move to FS last couple years they played. Remember Deon played safety for the Ravens
@@abymondesir23 but they weren't corners to the end, which is the point the op was making. he didn't say shit about consistency, and besides barber and Sanders did play safety, as have many formerly great CBs. your post is irrelevant and wrong.
‘VINCE YOUNG” made the “Dream Team” comment. Not ‘Vick’.
That's what I thought!!!! I remember that press conference after a practice and it made me CRINGE even at that time.
Based on what he did in Oakland alone, he is definitely a HOF to me. Dude was unbeatable and WRs had to make tough catches. He also helped change the game as taller CBs started getting attention.
I respect him on how he asks to sub, never tells you to sub
Nnamdi Asomugha was my favorite for years. Glad he's doing great after retirement
What happened was the Raiders played man coverage 99% of the time back then and the Eagles were a zone team. Eagles signed him because of what he did on his previous team and didn’t think about how they need to use him on their own team. Probably have to put some blame on Nnamdi too. Some guys get the big money and don’t work as hard, he MAY have been that guy
@operation Kilo- I don’t think work ethic was the issue considering how hard he has worked in his post-football career. I’m pretty sure it all had to do with scheme. He should have signed with a team that played man press coverage or bump and run.
In my view, this man (even at this point in his life) has achieved and succeeded in life more than most of us could ever hope for. The fact that he's pursued and achieved success beyond your stereotypical professional athlete says a lot. There's too many Latrell Sprewells and not enough Nnamdi Asomugha stories to go around. Respect.
THANK YOU. In elementary school I wrote a letter to him and... he never responded 😂😂
Damn I'm old. I wrote to Deion Sanders. No response either.
seagulhead12 not related to football but i wrote to lebron,nigga ain’t respond and my young ass said fvck him and the cavs😂
i wrote to TO when he was on the Cowboys back in 07... no response lol
Wrote to Derrick Rose last year no response
I wrote to nnamdi when I was in 7th grade and he sent me back an autographed photo and a letter as well.. y’all got bad luck haha
We forget that Rod Woodson was a Star Corner who once garnered the argument Deion or Rod as the best Corner 🤷🏽♂️
It wasn't Michael Vick that called it the dream team it was Vince Young
Flemlo Raps is a 0 overall in Madden guys! 1 like increases his rating 😉 💯
I have a video that is going viral right at this moment guys. Check it out if you want to 🔥
The NBA Storyteller omg you’re on football youtubers now... please stop with this
@@thenbagreatteller1855 um hate tell you but 28 k veiws isnt viral
How many videos you gonna try this same clout chasing bullshit? Gets old fast
The NBA Storyteller aye Flemlo, if you see this, stop liking this niggas comments, he finna spam your whole comments
In the thumbnail he looks like an older version of Tay K lmao
TokenBlackGuy omg he does😂
Adrian Flores you intentionally spell his name wrong, and expect folks to believe you don’t know who he is?
TokenBlackGuy lol u right
TokenBlackGuy no
Tay k wasn't thought of bud.
It wasn't Vick, Vince Young said dream team.
That's right it was Vince young
Watching this again after the I Am Athlete interview with Asante Samuel
Broke my heart as a 🦅 fan. But taught us not to trust all free agents
Lmao y’all ruined him
Damien Richardson Honestly it would have worked a lot better in Philly if we had a real defense coordinator. When Jim Johnson passed away and when McDermott was fired, we made Juan Castillo our old offensive line coach into a Defensive coordinator. His scheme was one of the worst I’ve ever seen and they had players playing out of position. I think Nnamdhi also would have faired a lot better if he had better safeties since Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman we’re god awful. Sad to see it didn’t work out with Nnamshi since he’s a great guy but I’m happy to see him do great outside of football.
Ocho Cinco damn you typed a long ass paragraph 😂
or to not trust sorry coordinators
That was the dream team year right?
When he married Kerry Washington, his whole career went to shit but surprisingly hers went through the roof...🤔😒
For once a Kardashian isn't mentioned
Vampire pussy
Super Siamese you make no sense dipshit
@@JokeSwag you are a fucking weirdo lol
SUPERSAIYAN GANG 😂😂😂
That was Vince Young that called the Eagles "The Dream Team"
I love that he had the self reliance and assertiveness to take those courses on finances for himself and learn himself how to be use the money he was about to earn. So cool! Taking initiative! Mad respect! He seems like a dude who didn’t blame others and took responsibility. The best part of living that way is 1) you won’t annoy people and become weak minded by always blaming others for your failures and 2) you can actually take the credit for your successes
I would honestly say the eagles definitely didn't use him correctly after acquiring him. But hey a coach will run what he's comfortable with.
Also we definitely saw an influx of more offensive coordinators who wanted to throw the ball far more than run the ball due to the philosophy of runningbacks being overvalued.
Nnamdi was a prototype indeed. But he was never able to truly enjoy post season success due to all the circumstances you listed.
Great video as always Flemlo.
If only he was a patriot. The man would be one of the GOATs
Ric Black rings > a couple mill
Mwoz but Eli still owns Brady
cortezmauricio1989 who said anything about Eli
RAIDERS LEGEND GET IT RIGHT!
Nnamdi was honestly my role model growing up, loved watching him as a raider, favorite player ever
Vince Young is the QB that called that Eagles team a, "dream team"
Different scheme and the raiders 07 secondary was beast af if u remember eagles just wanted to blame him for evry thing tho.
the dedication, the work and everything you put into these videos for us. is simply amazing. thank you for all the great content.
I remember this dude he was a great DB! Thanks for the info
It was crazy how quickly he fell from the top, good to hear all this stuff thanks flem
Yeah this another great one thanks for staying Consistent Flem
Damn everyone was disappointed with his performance in Philadelphia. Well the first Eagles dream team was a disappointment. But the Eagles misused him like crazy.
As an Eagles fan the site of this guy still causes trauma but I do commend him for what he's been able to do in the acting world. He's pretty damn good as an actor and producer
I see you have a Nipsey Hussle poster in the background. RIP
Justin I peeped that too RIP 🙏🏼
you tube I hate to tell you this ,in the coming months you will receive the same fate 🌈
you tube that is horrible
@you tube you still alive? It's been a few months.
R.I.P. Nip
As a die hard Raiders fan I really appreciate Nnamdi getting some shine.
Fam!!! My homeboy and I use to stay arguing on who’s the best corner out of him and Revis!
Revis will always be the best u see the stats he just proved all that we need to know Revis followed the best all over the field where he couldn't follow! Fact!
@@michaelchilds9758 I remember that year when Revis was picking off everything but he really didn't do too much after that year
@@MrGodismypower but when it comes to Revis he still considered the best and that one year can't compared to it took a Nani osawa 3-4 to get it together when it took Revis his first year to get a island call after him! You do the math! Lol
@@michaelchilds9758 corner wasn't his natural position and had to learn it . But at the same time yes you're right it took him a few years to get it down . Had he followed the opponents best WR all over the field like revis did then we would have more ground to compare the 2 . They're both all time greats but revis gets the slight edge in this one . Had nmandi played on winning teams , teams wouldve passed more and we'd have a better sample size to see his performance but they didn't and teams ran alot more than pass once up a considerable margin.
Lol those died fast. Like all the Revis supporters said take Asomugha out the Raider system and he was exposed.
These arw becoming my favorite videos to watch
I love that homie fell off on the field but took his post football life out of this world…… respect Nmamdi never forget the work u put in fam
He also produced The banker, one of this years best films.
About?
I love that movie!!! It’s A must see!! ❤️
The title drew me towards the video, the Lil' Wayne song kept me watching and made me subscribe. Either way, good stuff with reporting on Nnamdi's career
Don't know what took me so long, because your vids are among - if not THE - best sports breakdowns on YT with top notch production. You da man Flemlo...SUB'd
Absolutely love your vision, people’s problems are seldom one dimensional. Thank you for this thoughtful perspective. For getting it right you’re enlightening your peers in a way seldom done. Brilliant imho.
So sad to see his career cut a little bit short. He truly was a top cb in his prim.
Yeah, that was Vince Young that made that “Dream Team” quote
Man mad respect! You put up the best continent on RUclips time and time again. We appreciate ya man!
Been watched more than a few of your videos but today I finally subscribed and it was this video that made me realize I had to. When you said “...if this isn’t your first video you already know what time it is...” and said ‘que the Wayne’ at the same time lol that was the sign !
The bears actually found a way to make two different style corners work on one defense. This past season, Prince Amukamara lined up in press most of the time while Kyle Fuller played 7-9 yards off. They both play completely different styles in the same defense, which ranked #3 in the league last year, and they are both successful. Its a shame the Eagles couldn't figure it out, but it's not impossible to make it work.
And prince amukamara is currently a free agent again. He is also from Nigeria as well
Only giving up 10 catches is crazy. I wish you would have found out which side of the field he was on, on each of those catches and could have told us while you were talking about how he only liked playing Right CB. I wonder if he gave those 10 up on this side of if it was all on thr left or slot.
He was Forsure a beast, tho!
Idk how this FlemLo vid snuck past me. Ty youtube recommendations!
My favorite player growing up as a Raider Fan. Nnamdi was lockdown, the reason I loved the corner position. Shout out to FlemLo for this one. 🙌🏽
I’m pretty sure it was Vince Young that ignited the “dream team” headline...
I thought the Eagles were gonna dominate with him Asante Samuels and DRC. I was so wrong 😔😞
from the 3 asante samuel was our best corners
Didn’t they fired Andy Reid or was it a season later ?
I was so excited about signing him. The eagles had a history of fantastic cornerbacks from Eric Allen (most underrated corner ever...compare his numbers with Deion Sanders...do it), to all those years with Lito Sheppard, Sheldon Brown, Troy Vincent, Bobby Taylor and Asante Samuel teamed up with Brian Dawkins.
Nnamdi was going to be the next one up...
On paper that was such a squad lol
You are good at what you do man. I can watch your videos all day......and a fellow Bengals fan.....I’m sold
ayye flemloraps this video was needed! keep doing ya thing mane , my favorite videos are the updates you do on the last chance u series
I remember when he signed with the Eagles and everyone thought it was a great move for the Eagles
Nnamdi was my favorite player on the raiders. I still got his Raiders jersey.
overrated
I need to get it
Your videos are great, well researched and entertaining. When I'm in a bad mood, I just go on the tube and watch one and feel better instantly. Thanks for the gift.
This was a dope analysis I was a huge fan of that brother especially being a big raiders fan and Nigerian
As a Dallas fan I remember when the Eagles signed him along with almost EVERYONE else good in fa that year. However I was pleased to see they did absolutely nothing with all those moves.
Same here and I remember Dallas trying really hard to get him too. They apparently were very close.
"it was to hard playing them one at man and one in zone" lol
Mad respect to you Lo! Killing it keep it going best /most accurate NFL mini Docs on YT
You are the BEST Football ANALYSIS/COMMENTATOR I have ever seen on RUclips Bro. I thoroughly enjoyed your video commentary along with insider track Stats and juicy info on the game and its players. Keep up the good work. PEACE. ☺☺☺

What happened to Peter Warrick?
I remember this dude being a 97-98 rated beast on madden for a few years
FlemLo, Thanks again for all of the research you do on these videos!
I believe that Vince Young said the Dream Team talk, and he was the back-up quarterback.
He Changed the game for 6 ft CB’s
Cincoo Wavvyy shid the GOAT of cornerbacks was 6ft. You know who I’m talkin bout...
Reggie Robinson I Hope You Talking About Charles Woodson
I said the GOAT of cornerbacks, not the 2nd GOAT lol
Reggie Robinson 😂 This whole time I thought Prime was 5’11 🤦🏾♂️ I owe you a apology sir
FlemLo Raps videos never fail to amaze me. He's got great energy, is super entertaining, does thorough research, and a great job editing. Keep up the hard work and great videos. 👍
2 years ago I was visiting Boston as this dropped ... still love your vids bro been subbed since 2017
Correction my guy, Vince young was the one quoted as saying the eagles could be a dream team.
I remember those days in madden 09 creating a team with both namdi and champ bailey
Man growing up as a raiders fan in 00s he was one of the bright spots
I nearly forgot about this dude, he was one of my favorite corners when I was a kid
Yo I want a shirt that says “Cue the Wayne”
Me to
Good call
Vince Young was the one who said dream team. Just gotta say that piece
Yo man your page has easily become one of my favorite in like only a couple days. You should do Jason Campbell!
You have respect the man. He was a great player and used his brains along with brawn to bring home the bacon. Even if he later fell off, he had an amazing run.
You should do what happened to Osi Umenyiora (sorry if I butchered the spelling)
Vin Stephenson is it that defensive guy who played for the giants
Bruh you actually spelled it right 😂
THISSS!! but i guess the easy answer he played for the FAIL-cons! so i guess thats that
He had a good career, got old and retired, there, end of story.
He know presents some nfl in the uk
He got Kerry Washington that's good enough for me 😂
RIIIIGGHT ! 😁
That's how u Kno he a goat when his woman is good enough for others too!! 🤣🤣
Facts
Simp
Kerry Washington not even that bad
This was the first video of yours I watched when it first came out and I have watched most of yours since. You continue to get better at this and I hope you continue with this or something similar.
aye man, i appreciate you putting time in these videos. in the middle of midterms this and last week, 6 total exams, its been hell but I got one more. This vid gave me a nice lil break!
stay up cousin!
Vick wasn’t the guy to call the Eagles the dream team that was Vince Young
yeah i think vick was still locked up
Rod Woodson could also help a player learn to play cornerback, since that was his position during his prime years with the Steelers.
I subscribed to u bro ur really entertaining i hope u go far G 😎💪🙏
Salute Brah. Your a dope RUclipsr Keep dropping them bangers
