I don't know how many times I've seen Nnamdi on the line giving a press look and immediately bailing without ever attempting to get a jam.  Is this Nnamdi doing his own thing or is this a schematic choice?  

The reason I ask is it just seems bizarre...I can't figure out why you'd expose yourself to all the risk of lining up tight on a WR and not bothering to reap any of the reward (slowing/disrupting his route).

If it's just a look designed to mask a coverage, I guess it is what it is, but it seems to be happening too frequently.

I'm glad that you posted this.  I was wondering the same thing.

You answered your own question and happened to find the solution as well.

It's used too frequently. Play like corners in Seattle. Press man all game. F all of this zone coverage mess. Your safeties are terrible at it.

I assume its scheme, but after all the issues with Asante being asked to do certain things in coverage and essentially refusing on gamedays, it made me wonder if Nnamdi is supposed to jam, but isn't (perhaps because he's not feeling confident in his game, or whatever).

The play in the secondary has been far too inconsistent and Nnamdi's struggles have been well chronicled. He plays the coverage that he is asked to play. Struggles all around in the secondary
