Asante Samuel

Not a bad idea, but might crowd the lineup. Briggs would be starting if we got him, but he'd be replacing a guy that' started 2 games, whereas Rogers, Springs & Smoot are all starters & expect to start. Will be interesting to see who the nickel is.

for right now the skins are ok at corner. anyone know how old he is?


26

I don't like it, with Smoot in house we should have enough CBs.

Oh not again.....samuel, threatens to sit out. poor baby, stay home! :yeahright

I think every player thats been taged as the franchise player for their team is not going to play this year.

Must be tough to be one of the TOP paid players at any given position, and just say I want a trade OR I'm not playin? I think these players have a bone to pick with the union CBA that agreed to these terms, not the TEAMS problem......but it sure does end up being the TEAMS problem. What a Mess!

Ok, I don't want to piss off any previous posters and start a big argument. But I think some of you are being a little hypocritical here. Many of us bag the front office for trying to do the one year fix, and that is exactly what your arguing here. Many are saying we are locked up right now for corner. Yes right now. Check it out;
Springs is over 30
Making Big $
Complaining about being a Skin and having to restructure
Injury Prone
Smoot Sucked with Minny
and Rogers was average at best last year

I hardly think this is locked up. And even if they perform great, it's only for this year. I would jump at this if we could get it. This dude is money. Plus you have a real problem on D if you expect your corners to make big tackles. Your D line and backers should be doing the big ugly work.

The guy doesn't fit our defensive system. We might as well trade for him and start him a LB. He's a strict cover guy and a good one at that. But our CBs are supposed to play the run and Samuel is pretty poor at that.

Smoot's pretty crappy at run support also. Maybe his signing dictates a willingness to alter our philosophy?
