How the eff is Nnambi so awful?

[NYC Rebel]

Nnamdi is not as bad as people say, dude is a solid corner, but when the rest of the defense is badly coached the corners look worse. Nnamdi has solid instincts and tries to make plays as best as he can, he's a bad fit for the Eagle defense.

This bad fit for the Eagles defense is bs.

He's not a consistent cover man.

Well first off, I don't like comparing Champ to NNamdi, Champ is a very good corner considering his age and has been on the Broncos. Second off I never expected Nnamdi to be as good on the Eagle as he was on the raiders, but keep in mind they were having issues with Assante Samuel and if i'm not mistaken the didn't trade Kolb yet to get DRC. I can think of 5 or 6 teams that would be better off with Nnamdi and the Eagles were never one of them.

What made him "good" on the Raiders was their coaching staffs stupidity of keeping him EXCLUSIVELY on one side of the field, regardless of the quality of receiver which lined up opposite him. He was easily schemed out of games and was ultimately overrated as a result.
