Around the Internet
- Andy Staples (who?) at SI.com named Covaughn DeBoskie as an impact early entry.
- Stewart Mandel published his Spring Top 25. Our Golden Bears check in at…well, they don’t check in at all. That’s just a little depressing.
- Boom goes the dynamite! Tasteless? Too soon?
- Nnamdi Asomugha is probably the best corner to ever come out of Cal (except maybe this guy), and hell, he’s a great guy.
- Not sure if this needs to be here, but Bruce Feldman weighed in on the whole bloggers vs. Bissinger thing among other tidbits, so you might as well give it a read.
- What didn’t kill Sammie Stroughter made him stronger.
- The Oregon Ducks are rolling a fat Blount.
- Andy Katz says our Bears have all the pieces to be a serious player in the Pac-10 - if Ryan Anderson returns. I was about to say that sounded like the same old misguided optimism that we hear every year that Braun is around…thank God for Montgomery. STAY, RYAN, STAY!
- Tosh Lupoi talks about last year’s defense, and why defensive schemes were the way they were last year.
- Belated links from last week’s draft, with conference call transcripts with Mike Gibson and DeSean Jackson.
- A bit of dirt on DeSean from a respected scout for an NFC team.
- But hey, if you still love him, here you go! Mine’s in the mail.
Sheesh, that Scout sounds like DeSean ran over his dog or something. Chill man!

yeah, i’m gonna have to side with JJ on this one. Asomugha was great, but Deltha was something else…

Maybe I’m confusing NFL production with college production, but it’s hard for me to side with a guy who was so bad at corner in the NFL that Mike Shanahan was thinking about converting him to a WR…though I will freely admit to never having seen him play in college, so I’m not the most informed judge here.

I know Deltha went through a slide over in Denver, but prior to that didn’t he go to the pro bowl? And then later when he was on the Bengals, he was doing really well again, right?

I had completely forgotten that Deltha made the Pro Bowl in 2001 and recorded 9 picks; and indeed, he did record 10 picks with the Bengals in 2005. But you still don’t quite hear him praised as much as Asomugha is, and has been for the past few years. K.C. Joyner, Dr. Z, and other writers all over tout him as one of the top cover corners in the league, and as the primary reason that he and DeAngelo Hall should form a nice tandem for the Raiders, not the other way around. (I think Hall’s overrated, but that’s another issue.)
I had thought of Deltha when I wrote that comment, and it’s not to say that Deltha hasn’t had a good career, I just don’t think he’s on par with Asomugha.
