Sure Revis had better stats, but its not hard to see why when he was thrown at 4 times as often.

I am far from a Raider fan, but Nnamdi still is the best shutdown corner in the league.

Different defensive philosophies - Revis plays in a blitz heavy defense where he has to shadow theopponents #1 receiver for 3-4 seconds before he gets safety help...Nnamdi has played almost exclusively in a 4-3 with little to noblitzing and no safety help. Revis is stuck to the opponents #1 whereas Nnamdi was given the right side of the field to cover. The Raiders are going to let Nnamdi play man this season, though, so those numbers (and maybe peoples perceptions) will change.

Fair enough. We'll bump this thread at the end of the year and compare again.
