Asante still is in denial on how good he was. He was a successful player for sure, but he thought he was among the best in the NFL during his time. He was a excellent find by Bill in 2003 playing right away and became a very good starting CB for the Pats, but he would get exposed when going man and would physically get bullied by WR's. His last game with the Patriots was his worst and remembered most by fans. First, he allowed Tyree, who only caught 5 passes on the season, catch his first TD in the Super Bowl. Everyone talks about his mistimed jump, but very rarely people talk about the play after where he went daydreaming and left Rodney out to dry who gets the blame for the helmet catch. Had Asante stuck to his man, Eli takes the sack and it's 4th and 10.
