The Linc - Asante Samuel Wants To Be Back

Samuel: "of course" I want to be back
Asked if he wants to be back as an Eagle, Samuel said simply, "of course," but didn't elaborate. "I just take it day to day, see what the future holds," Samuel said. But he said he had not received any clear indication from the team of what their plans are for him next year.

Kelce: I'll Be Ready For OTAs
For now, Kelce's foot is in a protective boot and he's relying on crutches to get around, which he admitted was "annoying." But as he prepares for his first offseason as an NFL player, Kelce said that he'll be ready for the Organized Team Activities the Eagles will go through after April's draft. "It's making good progress," Kelce said of his foot. "The doctor is saying I'll be out of the boot in a little bit and moving around again."

NFL 2011: Worst Decisions of the Year | Football Nation
Andy Reid Hiring Juan Castillo as Defensive Coordinator - With the Philadelphia Eagles’ firing of defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, Head Coach Andy Reid was searching for someone to fill that slot. In an unconventional move, Reid chose Juan Castillo. Castillo has been a member of the Philadelphia Eagles' coaching staff since 1995. From 1998 to 2010, he served as the club's offensive line coach. More notable is the fact that Castillo had not coached that side of football since his run at Kingsville High School in 1989. Hiring Juan Castillo as defensive coordinator was not Andy Reid’s defining moment as a head coach.

I would love to keep Samuel, I just cant see how it is possible consider we also have DRC (the future) and NA as well.

i think he's being diplomatic if nothin else

i’m sure he loves being here but simultaneously keeping his options open and looking to be in another situation

i’d be ok with keeping asante too. if he really did want to stay here, he might consider restructuring his deal. we have DRC but if they don’t like what they see from him, he could be trade bait as well

It really does suck for him. He did exactly what he was brought here to do and this past season he was not only our best cover corner but top five in the league. Now, he most likely gets kicked out.

The Nnamdi contract is starting to look like a bad idea.

Starting?

It started to look like a bad idea when Nnamdi let Victor Cruz blow by him like he was Dimitri Patterson. Now only 2012 stands in the way of “good idea” or “bad idea”.

The question with Asante is upside

DRC wasn’t nearly as good in the slot as on the outside and Asante is getting older so DRC has way more upside.

Cowboys suck.

by stinkypants on Feb 11, 2012 9:16 PM EST reply actions  

the idea is to stay young AND talented

DRC is younger and with a season with this team under his belt along with a full offseason training with Bowles he’ll be fine. Holding onto Asante does nothing for us anymore. Best to let him go

Not only that,

DRC and Nnamdi play press. No more of this “half field zone, half field man” scheme.
