Yes he is a double move from getting burnt but I enjoyed his time in Philly, he also was a turnover away from changing the game, is he on the decline of course he is, he is getting older. Is it drastic right now, no he got beat the way he always did, put him in zone and watch him bait a great QB, oh he has done that. As far as Andy and the new regime getting rid of players Bdawk and Akers comes to mind but Everyone from the early 90s has nothing to do with Andy and crew (Reggie who went and got more money, Chris who was a drug addict and head case, Seth who did nothing no where else, Eric Allen who had 2 more years in him, Ricky who was done as well, I mean either way these guys were all before Andy Reid that a few have named….

A seventh rounder was a steal for this guy. And his renegotiated contract is cheap, to boot! At worse, he’s the 3rd best CB on the squad that will be playing lots of nickle.

It wasn’t pretty watching him get burned by AJ Green, but AJ Green is no slouch. And yes, when you talk a lot of smack, it makes you look even worse when you get burned. That said, the production on the field is what matters, and Asante has produced quite a bit. My guess is he still has some left in the tank.

Samuels may not like to tackle but he still leads the league in INT’s over the course of the last 4 seasons!!! There are plenty of teams that wish they had Samuels…….

(except for b-dawk)”

——————

yeah, cause getting rid of garbage like cris carter and reggie white really helped the franchise get over the hump in the 80s and 90s. and more recently giving mega contracts to me-first guys like desean jackson and mike vick has also helped the team win numerous playoff contests…

One blown coverage in a preseason game is enough for me. Thank you genius Eagles fans for pointing out the foolish trade. If only your wisdom was available before the draft.

And still top 10 amongst corners in made tackles.

Yet, for some reason, some people still hold Samuel in higher regard. I don’t get it.

I’m so glad they got rid of this guy when they did. All the highlights will show his INTs, but they don’t show him afraid to wrap up anybody, or how he is merely average in man coverage.
