I joke about that all the time. Asante only trys to cut the legs out when he tackles people. Divison teams are going to pick up on this and just automatically jump when they see 22 coming.

Sheldon Brown is wayy better.

wow .. i been saying sheldon was better for months! finally ppl with me .. yes!!

It is about time people are starting to figure this out…this has been going on all season!

When is the media and coaches going to get on him about his tackeling? He needs to be benched until he learns, and if he can’t learn, cut or traded. The “easy” interceptions he does provide are not worth what we are giving up on the tackling front.

I sincerely hope the media starts to get onto this and blows it up b/c the coaching staff seems too inexperienced and scared to put him in his place.

I agree Eagleswin….I’d like to see those criticizing Samuels play hurt. Maybe I was watching a different game, but I saw the DB’s make some good hits. It is true that there were some missed tackles….not just by Samuels but by a whole host of others. The defense played well enought for us to win. The goal of the defense has always to keep the opponent from scoring more that 17 points. Our offense has always been known for putting up the numbers, but yesterday the offense looked sad….really sad. I would have liked to see them stick more to the running game. It seemed like when they came out after the half the running game was working but then they abandoned it. Why?? Hell if I know…….lol. Also, what seemsto be part of the history of the Eagles, they always have one game a year where they play like crap. Had on last year when Donovan was pulled. And the year before and the year before. Why? Hell if I know….lol, but it happens. Hopefully it won’t happen again, but the OL has got to give Donovan better protection….if not, we could be in for a loooooong season. But I’m still very hopeful. Goooooooooo Eagles……………..

Asante is a very good CB in this league. I love the addition of him to our team. His signing payed off big time in last years playoffs. He had two crucial INTS!!!

I can’t say he can’t tackle?? WTF? Dude can play. He just really sucks at run support or tackling. It is funny that some people have just noticed this. He did that shit in NE too.

How is Asante hurt? What injury is he playing with that doesn’t affect his ability to be in position to intercept balls, but does affect his ability to wrap up when he tackles?

I’m not saying that he cost us the game, all I’m saying is that McD doesn’t have the balls to get after him, so unless the media stops drooling over his interceptions and realizes how much he is actually costing this team, nothing will change!

I understand he has been doing this for a while, but it needs to stop. And I would be saying this even if we won, b/c I have been seeing it for so long and can’t keep it in anymore.
