He was a great cover guy and intercepted a lot passes. I know that it was more of a money thing and the Birds have a few D-backs, but a 7th round draft pick for his talent should set him off this year. I hope he has a good seaon with Atlanta

Eagles = Super Bowl 47 Champions. Bet on it bitches.

counting and hoping for injuries to other teams players shows ur lack of faith in ur own team to win it all…keep wishing for lucky breaks!! we’re going to focus on being the best team in the league next season and we’ll see who comes out on top!!!

How much can you get for a corner thats not good enough to make your team ?

If asante had that attitude in philly, he would still be an eagle. he destroyed us last year by being selfish and wouldnt move from him left corner spot.

which is why nnamdi spent parts of the year all over the field trying to find himself.

good riddance. falcons fans will be clamoring for his release when he starts whiffing on tackles.

Samuel is an alright cornerback, but hardly a steal. The Eagles were happy to be rid of him. Why would Andy part company with such greatness? Becayse he isnt great. He is average with an above average mouth.

He’s always reminded me of a sub .200 home-run hitter who seemingly strikes out all day only to show up for a homerun play every now and then. He may have 10 INTs by season’s end but he doesn’t show up on every play.

Now remind yourself there was a BIG reason the Eagles swapped this guy for a 7th round pick….THEY WERE CONTENT WITH SIMPLY DROPPING HIM. Not a good sign ATL…

How can you wish to see another human being injured, in pain? That is sickening. Most people develop the ability to feel empathy early on in elementary school, the exceptions being psychopaths, who tend to turture animals or become serial killers. You disgust me, you are not human in any important respect, and I hope you are put in jail BEFORE you can reproduce and pass along your defective genetics.

I think it’ll be Samuels who will want the explanation when Brees is torching his a$$ all over the field.

I kinda liked that defense they called that put 5’10 Brent Grimes on 6’7 Jimmy Graham in the endzone. More of that, please.

The Eagles were dumping payroll. They didn’t let Asante go because of performance issues. They let him go because they have 2 younger more physical corners that fit the press coverage scheme they wanted last season.

Asante is a zone corner. It still won’t help with the ZERO points in the playoffs :)

Corners can’t be the centerpiece of a defense. The Falcons let the centerpiece of their D go in free agency (Lofton). Anyone think the Steelers, Niners, or Ravens corners are great? No, a great defense is built with the front 7 and maybe a bada$$ safety. The NFL has legislated the value of a lockdown corner out of the game (which Samuel isn’t anyway, and never was).

Lardarius Webb and the former Raven Chris McAllister say hello.

Not sure what his history is. Positive roll model we would hope and not diva veteran(?)
