[QUOTE="all about da packers, post: 216461, member: 227"] [b]Re: Asamagha[/b] Three things: 1) Al plays man-to-man. That would greatly reduce the number of teams that would want Al, who is by the way a 33 year old CB. Al would have to be starting on whatever team he goes to, or he'd be dead weight on another team. 2) I think Al's value extends beyond the field. The Packers have lost two of their leaders from last year in the locker room, Brett Favre and Rob Davis. Al is a leader, he is the type of player that you want on your team. In the Eagles game, Al got hurt, and he couldn't move his arm. Yet Al went out on the field again, and played. That type of attitude and leadership is needed on this young team, IMO. 3) Al has friends in the locker room, and trying to trade Al might cause Al to become disgruntled. Bigby and C-Wood are both close with Al, so do you risk possibly creating a problem between players and management if the perception is that Al got a raw deal? Let's also not forget that Al can be very valuable teaching our young CBs the art of playing man-to-man, similar to how Troy Vincent taught Al how to play man-to-man. I don't think it's as simple as 'trade Al' if he is beaten out for a starting spot. I really think the best thing for the Packers is to go and get a rookie CB in the draft and groom him. As much as I'd love to see Asomugha in Green and Gold if the Raiders rescind the franchise tag, it's not simply a matter of offering Asomugha money and getting him to sign. There are other factors that need to be taken into consideration. [/QUOTE]
