IIRC, Nnamdi Asomugha thrived in Oakland's man coverage system but really fell off when put into Philly's zone coverage scheme. Goes to show you how fit is important. The Patriots are kings at finding players that fit their system, not trying to morph a player into what they want him to be.

I always thought the Bengals drafted CBs who were more man coverage guys so it doesn't surprise me to see certain CBs struggle when the Bengals play zone.
