Why would they trade him. I would hate for them to trade him. He’s been consistant since he been here. So what if he cant tackle. Ill take an int over a tackle any day. I hope we keep them all. All this is just rumors. How can you listen to all these experts talkin Asante trade and none of them had Nnamdi coming to Philly. Andy Reid said its going to be like Troy Vincent Bobby Taylor and Al Harris all over again. Just imagine QBs runnining from our pass rush throwing into our Secondary. Smh. “Can’t Wait” (B. Scott).

Enough with the Asante to safety talk. Safety’s actually have to hit people. Dawkins covered space and picked quite a few balls, but he hit like a linebacker. Samuel does not.
__________________________________
Hitting is meh except for some intimidation factor…tackling is what you really have to be great at esp. @ safety. Since your team likes my team’s former DBs…they have one who will hit everyone on the entire football field up to and including his own teammates..but can’t tackle (he takes horrible angles). He’s a safety too. Want him? This is his last year on his rookie deal I think. :p

1. In addition to playing more zone than man coverage safties are usually asked to tackle and assit on running plays. Not really up Asante’s alley.

2. Ball hawking by jumping routes and taking chances kind of defies the definition of the word safety. If he guesses wrong, the WR is taking it to the house.

Here’s a 3rd one for free:

Exactly who is going to do any tackling on this team during a running play? Sims, Bradley, Mickell, umm…. Your ends Babin and Cole will start lined up outside of the tackles and basically run straight up the field at the snap. Your linebackers are all undersized, Bunkley is not the same player any more, you safeties are smallish and inexperienced and Nmandi, Asante and Dominique (Sounds like Destiny’s Child 2.0) will be trying to make an interception.

I’m not a Cowboys fan but their smartest move would be to bring back Barber. Because he, Torain and Jacobs are going to slowly, I mean v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y chug it down your throats.

We’re all pumped up about all the off season moves the eagles are makin, don’t ruin it by trading one of the greats on the team. Now they need to pay Jackson and than sign a lb and once that is done think about maybe upgrading the protection to Vicks blindside since justice didn’t protect it very well. This team has the highest expectation of em all, superbowl win or major bust

I am impressed with the Eagles. They will be so much fun to watch. I don’t think they have any intention of trading Samuels unless they get a deal they can’t refuse (unlikely). I think they will start all three to form the best D Backfield in the NFL. They’ll move either Samuels or Rogers-Cromartie to Free Safety ala Ed Reed. And then look out! Samuel could easily pick 15 passes in the middle at FS with corners flanking him like that. I sure wouldn’t want to throw against that secondary if they have even an average pass rush. Ballhawks like that can create a ton of coverage sacks!

Reid and Belichick are swinging for the SuperBowl fence. Exciting stuff!

Rodgers still possesses better players with Jennings, Driver, and Nelson.

Eagles secondary would look like this: Nnamdi Asomugha, Asante Samuel, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Nate Allen. Wow…

The familiarity with Heckert and Jauron should make it an easy transition. A DB corps of Haden, Samuel, Brown, Ward, Usama Young, and Mike Adams would be quite good.

Nothing convinces me they will be working a deal for Samuel.
