Today in Jets Yapping: Antonio Cromartie Says He’s Better Than Nnamdi Asomugha
ESPN NY – When Antonio Cromartie re-signed with the Jets, he was beseiged with questions about Nnamdi Asomugha, the team’s first choice to start opposite Darrelle Revis. That was nothing. If Cromartie had signed with the Raiders, Asomugha’s former team, the comparisons to the All-Pro cornerback would’ve been non-stop. The Raiders, whom the Jets play Sunday in Oakland, were hot for Cromartie during free agency. It came down to Jets and Raiders. Frankly, Cromartie believes the Asomugha comparisons would’ve been off base. Why? Because in one respect, Cromartie thinks he’s better than Nnamdi. Yeah, that’s right, better. “My style of play and his style of play are totally different,” Cromartie told ESPNNewYork.com. “I feel I’m more of a playmaker than he is.”
God help me, I love the Jets. Rex Ryan has been blowing such a cloud of smoke up their collective asses with all this talk about September Super Bowls and guarantees about going to the real Super Bowl that they actually believe their own hype. They run their team like a preschool where every kid is a genius and everyone goes home with a sticker on their art project. The Jets did everything they could this offseason to dump Cromartie short of replacing the Statue of Liberty with a giant golden Asomugha and naming themselves the NY Nnamdis. But that doesn’t stop Cromartie from thinking he’s better. Notwithstanding that in Week 1 Dallas exploited him like a teenage runaway at a bus terminal for two TDs and he’s a walking Pass Interference call. He feels like he’s the best corner in the league and that’s all that counts when you play for the Jets. Pathetic.
Unless when he said “playmaker” he meant “baby maker.” In which case he’s right and I apologize. @JerryThornton1

Good blog Jerry. Short, sweet, and to-the-point. Not like your typical novels.
did u read the article u retard? He said they have different styles which they do. Revis and Nnamdi play a blanket kind of corner as Antonio and other corners like McCourty, Bailey and Hall which is risk/reward. They are playmakers as opposed to the Revis Nnamdi. He’s obviously not a better corner but he does make more plays, is more explosive, a great kick returner. Btw Jerry I highly doublt you’ve ever played, coached or watched football outside of the Pats. You’re posts are silly and sad.
“Because in one respect, Cromartie thinks he’s better than Nnamdi. Yeah, that’s right, better. ‘My style of play and his style of play are totally different,’ Cromartie told ESPNNewYork.com. ‘I feel I’m more of a playmaker than he is.’”
Hey rocky did you read the article because right there he says better, and he says he is a better playmaker aka hes better than Nnamdi at something, which is completely false because Cromartie is not better than Nnamdi at anything…well on teh football field… Cromartie is definitely better at making kids and then forgetting about them and not paying child support for them.
^ go spout your bullshit somewhere else Rock, McCourty is not a risk reward corner. He’s fundamentally sound. Cromartie, as fitting a man with his lack of intelligence and discipline, runs around like a retard. He’s a great athelte, but your “risk/reward” theory makes it sound like a plan. There is no plan for Cromartie.
BTW Pres, not sure if you’re picking up on it, but Lucic is shitting on sites like Barstool with his quote, might want to remove that tweet.
The Jets are a better team than the patriots
Cromartie covers wide receivers about as well as condoms cover his dick
Typical little brother, always comparing himself to big bro. Goal is not to be better than the Patriots, it’s to win the Super Bowl. Which no team coached by that fat fool will ever do.
Jerry you fucking cocksucker, this was news in BSNY 2 days ago and in Philly a day ago i think. Plus, you’re retarded besides being a cocksucker.

ha, funniest thing i’ve heard all day
Which guy is better at creating hordes of bastard children? Asomugha doesn’t seem like the type.
A man too stupid to cover his dick when he is fucking dirty gold digging whores. I am amazed he remembers how to breathe.
cro is pretty much retarded, but he’s actually got a point. nmamdi is known for not even being thrown at. cro is a risk/reward playmaker type (though he’s obviously not as good as nmamdi).
Actually, Cromartie is correct. He does make more big plays than Nnamdi. Ever see a Nnamdi highlight reel? Full of vague “pass deflections” that he may or may not have affected and clips of him squatting before and after the snap. He makes zero plays. Cromartie may get burned once and awhile, but he makes plays. Ask Tom Brady, who has been picked by him multiple times since 2007.
Nnamdi and revis are the two best corners in the league. Cro is a better playmaker than both of them – and he’s got the strongest swimmers
Jerry you dumbass shut up and stop blogging.
Manzosucks, the Jets CRUSHED the Pats in the playoffs last year. They are better, just admit it and move on like a man.
tornopen, are you talking about Cromartie or Brady?
Sanchez is dog shit. I’ll be blown away if the Jets manage to win a Superbowl with that stiff at the helm.
Jets crushed the patriots in the playoffs? I didnt realize losing by 7 points means crushed. Keep talking out of ur ass jets fans.
42 years and counting
Yo classless, nnamdi had a pick last gm dumbass
Jerry, you get out much?
And Brady is still gay.
Hey dumbass, Cromartie is a better playmeker than Asomugha. Not a better player. Your stupidity amazes me.
You ever watch Cro as a return man, either on interceptions or returns. Dude has skills.
Of course Asomugha is a better player, no one would deny that.
Jesus, Jerry – you stole my “baby maker” line from the NY comments section and didn’t even give me a by-line, shout-out, or honorable mention. What gives, man?
