PrintCornerback Asante Samuel is one Bird who won't stop chirping | Philadelphia Daily News | 08/17/2010
Asante Samuel was in fine voice yesterday morning. Hardly a play passed without comment from the Eagles' Pro Bowl cornerback, volume thoughtfully adjusted to give offensive and defensive teammates, plus fans, the full benefit of his wisdom. "I'm thinking you guys think I can't run or something," Samuel said during a one-on-one coverage drill. "Every ball's a deep ball. Andy, is that what it is?"
Samuel leaves practice, Hobbs out with illness | Philadelphia Inquirer | 08/17/2010
Asante Samuel left the Tuesday morning practice early on the last day of two-a-days. He walked off under his own power. The team said he had a hamstring injury, but did not provide any more detail. Leaving the locker room Samuel told reporters only, "I'm getting too old for this."

Most Philadelphians have a firm opinion on Andy Reid, but the longtime Eagles coach is much more than the pass-happy play-caller that many feel he is.

While they were only on the field for six plays in the first preseason game, many people took note of how active and physical the Eagles’ corners were. We even saw the "tackling challenged" Asante Samuel wrap up and bring down a big TE… Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott was asked about what seems to be Samuel’s new dedication to hitting & tackling.

Samuel seemed to like the sound of that last line, so he repeated it several times, until a fan hollered out: “Shut up and tackle!”
AMEN!
There's a lot here.
First, Asante’s convenient “injury” seems to be Brett Favre Syndrome. He’ll be ready for week 1. No doubt about that.
Second, I’m enjoying watching Graham. He needs to work on his power moves one-on-one. Tackles in the NFL are too fast for speed moves all the time. Trent Cole is successful because he can bull rush too.
Third. I think Brian Westbrook is well on his way to tarnishing his legacy. I feel terrible about this awful signing.
And fourth, thank Tony Dungy’s God that Todd Herremans is white. If he were black (and therefore worthy of Tony’s perpetual benevolence and Biblical ability to save, raise from the dead and cure from bodily afflictions—real talk, he cured a Nigerian toddler who had leprosy and smallpox), Dungy would mentor Todd in the ways of gay bashing and intolerance. He’s an expert!

is actually a really good read. Surprised to learn when Reid first spotted Kolb.
