49ers defensive coordiantor Vic Fangio said Nnamdi Asomugha has overtaken Tramaine Brock as the team's third cornerback, which had been filled by Chris Culliver before he sustained a season-ending ACL tear in training camp, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Asomugha jumped ahead while Brock was dealing with an injury the past few weeks. Asomugha, who wore a noncontact jersey in practice Tuesday, is himself at less than full strength. Still, Fangio said he has won the No. 3 spot. "He's done well in his reps that he's had in the game and in practice," Fangio said. "Particularly the last two or three weeks, he's played much better." Fangio said he doesn't plan to monitor Asomugha's snaps because of his age, the 10-year veteran clearly has answered some of the questions Fangio had during training camp. "He's still playing at a good enough level to be a major part of our defense," he said. Source: The Redzone
All I hope for is that we get the "Raider" Nnamdi and not the "Eagle" Nnamdi...that Eagle Nnamdi needs to fly away never to be seen again...eeeekkkkk!!!!
