Default Asante hurt today

1st it was his left hammy, now today his right. The injury curse continues for those who leave the Pats for more $$: http://www.philly.com/philly/hp/news...rt_072608.html

I don't get the feeling anyone around here wishes Asante ill health for taking what the Eagles offered - but this is certainly better than having re-signed him and having him injured.

Seemed like the early reports were that he was having a tough time learning the Eagles defensive system too.

The good news for the Eagles is they stil have Lito Sheppard, don't they? Of course they've got a ton of cap money locked into both of these guys too.

Yes-however, you take out either Samuel, Brown, or Sheppard, their corner depth is NIL.

Jim Johnson had high hopes that he could utilize all 3 in his nickel/3-3-5 packages, where he can put Brown in the slot and call more exotic blitzes.

I still find it hard to believe that the Eagles will keep these 3 high priced DB's. They are probably hoping that some team loses a starting corner to season ending injury so that they come a calling to the Eagles for Sheppard.

This is not a bad idea on their part-be PATIENT, and there's at least a 50/50 chance an act of desperation could fall in their laps.

FYI-Gary Cobb just reported that Drew Rosenhaus just came to the Eagles' TC facility IN a rental car w/ FL license plates. Cobb thinks DR is there to try to convince Eagles' management to give Lito a raise, especially considering Samuel could miss some time with his injury.

Dunno-but on that play he was injured, he was covering Greg Lewis.

Yeah-GREG FREAKIN' LEWIS! It's not like this guy is a Hall of Famer, nor a decent #3 option to boot.

Obviously-the Eagles' coaching staff KNOWS Samuel's deficiencies.
