Advantage Revis

That's a big difference. Sorry to throw that at you. Revis and Asomugha are the 2 best no doubt in anyone's mind and I won't even say Revis is better because I am not sure he is. The above is pretty telling though.

I will add this the Jets D was way better than the Raiders. Revis got targeted more because of it. However this also means that teams stayed away from Nmadi because the rest of the D was terrible. So the only time Asomugha got thrown at were pretty wide open plays.
good points, I think you can look at that stat in a number of ways though

i.e teams are willing to test Revis even if the receiver is covered, they will only throw it Nnamdi's way if the receiver is absolutely wide open

I do think they are the clear 1-2 in the league, with a pretty large gap to 3rd
