Re: trade with pats
IF the rumor is true about a possible trade scenario, i would love to see it happen. We get an extra pick while upgrading significantly at corner. U can't say that Samuel is a product of the system guy or that we wouldn't fit in GW's system. GW's blitz system could really benefit from a guy who can single cover and jam so that the safeties can blitz and thats what Samuel brings. In fact, his interceptions almost always came off of single coverage or the Cover 2 when he jammed the receiver. This to me says that he isn't getting "cheap" interceptions b/c of a QB misreading a coverage or sitting back with a lotta help in a zone and picking off easy passes. The guy will be a top 5 #1 CB no matter where he goes PERIOD
Moreover, unlike briggs, samuel is a CB and that position tends to have players that are products of their ability rather than being products of their system like LB's and D-linemen. The only knock on the alleged samuel trade is that it may not work financially b/c of his franchise tag...but if the numbers work out (with trading away springs) then I am ALL for it.
