Well upon further review, the owls are not what they seem on this one:
1. Asomugha plays one side of the field, he does not line up with a specific receiver like Revis usually does. SOMEBODY here forgot to mention that. If a team wants to keep their best receiver away from Asomugha, it's easy...just go to the other side of the field. Can't do that against Revis, he follows the guy he's covering wherever he goes.
2. The Raiders' other cornerbacks have not been very good, so it's very easy to avoid Asomugha and pick on somebody else. Revis is playing on a defense that has other talented cornerbacks, so avoiding Revis can still get you in trouble.
3. Unlike the Raiders, the Jets have played with a lot of leads the last two years, so on occasion they go into 'prevent', which allows short completions. Case in point was the game on Sunday against New England, where the Jets were OK with the Patriots driving down the field at 28-14 as long as they took time off the clock doing so. This forces the corners back and artificially inflates passing and receiving stats, which is why quoting stats for a CB is ridiculous. The Raiders have not gone into 'prevent' very much recently.
4. As stated before, Asomugha has NEVER played in a playoff game, against the best teams with the best QB's and the best receivers on the biggest stage. He has never really played in a big regular season game for that matter, in his eight year career. It's a different world.
5. I like Asomugha, I really do, and I would like him on the Jets at the right price. That said, at his age I would not want to commit to too many years.
