Asante Samuel or Nate Clements???

Asante Samuel or Nate Clemons??? Quite simply..which one will we have when training camp starts in Late July??? WE WILL HAVE ONE, so decide.

MTK · 01-22-2007, 11:26 PM

I'm pretty sure it will be Clements.

AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace · 01-22-2007, 11:37 PM

Clements...he will immediately improve the secondary

FRPLG · 01-22-2007, 11:45 PM

Assuming we have one it will almost certainly be Clements. We have to assume we are going to maintain playing the Williams version of cover two where the CBs have to be able to man up AND play the run. While I think Samuels is a fine cover guy he isn't nearly the physical type that our style D requires. Clements was made for our D supposedly.

Of course if Williams makes any mods to the D(based on the whole 'they've figured it out' thought) then who knows. I don't see us abandoning the entire philosophy though.

Clements by a mile.

Definitely Clements. But the thing that I don't like about Clements is that he isn't good at getting turnovers. He had like 3 interceptions this past season.

I also think we will have Clements, but I rather have Samuels he had 9 or 10 int during the regular season and 2 int for T.D. in the playoffs

SkinEmAll · 01-23-2007, 12:27 AM

either one would be just fine with me , seriously.

Turnovers are also a big part of what kind of system you run. When you leave your corners on islands (like we do) it's much harder for them to get pics. If they go for it, opens up the big play.

If Clements can shutdown his reciever then other CBs and Safeties will get more picks by default.

I have to say Asante Samuels because he is unbelievable. He reacts well when the ball is in the air, he is young and faster then Cleamnts and hegets plenty of turnovers.

jbcjr14 · 01-23-2007, 08:33 AM

I would take either one of these guys. Unfortunately I think we will overpay for one and keep spiraling down the road of not building through the draft with young talent.

gusbus · 01-23-2007, 08:47 AM

Asante he has a knack for the ball, I believe he is younger and the Patriots have a history of not overspending. Plus he gives us an element we didn't have last year.... turnovers.

I agree. If we are giong to continue to play that style of defense, I say we just bring Smoot back for cheap. Theres no point in singing a bigtime corner if we are going to play way off the ball like we did this year, and not take some chances. I'm more concerned with the free saftey position than I am with the cornerback position to be quite truthful.

If either one of them can catch better than Carlos Rogers I'll take them.. I think it will be Clements and Redskin One will be landing in Buffalo at 12:01am..

GhettoDogAllStars · 01-23-2007, 09:38 AM

We should get whoever is cheaper -- or whoever is closer to their market value. That would probably be Clements, considering the year that Samuels had.
