Eagles looking to sign Samuel? - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

I've never understood the logic that he is gone because we would be stupid to pay him, but I dont want him to go to a rival.
If its a bad decision for us, isnt it also bad for our rival?

just send a guy underneath, and have brady pump fake....get samuel right off his route....and then just throw it to the guy samuel SHOULD have been covering...

it happened to him a number of times last season

Right, Samuel cares more about jumping routes, and his pick offs, then he does on blanket covering.... I personally think he is over rated, he has his best plays when our front 7 are on their game, when they suffer, for the most part, so does Samuel.

I want a CB who is like white on rice with his man from jumpstreet, like Ty Law used to do... man I miss him.

I'm not sure why people are so afraid of him being in our division. Brady probably knows his tendencies and such better than anyone. It would just be a big cap hit for a player that still wouldn't get them anywhere close to the Pats.

Would we get a "4th" for a comp pick for him?

Same crowd that gets upset during training camp cuts, because the players that aren't good enough to make our team are going to make our rivals better than we are.
