People think zone when they hear off coverage, but it merely has to do with how close he lines up to the receiver. He uses his great instincts to try and cut off routes but 90% of the time he is sticking with his man throughout the play. His ratings are fine. As Deon Sanders says, "Asante Samuel is the best off coverage corner in the league".

I don't know if samuel was trying against desean today but desean made samuel look like a fool lol.
