Is it me, or has Samuel lost a step?
 
He hasn't been the CB everyone (cept me and a handful of others) was pining for this offseason. Maybe he should have attended training camp and he wouldnt be so far behind in trying to make a statement on why he needs to get paid top corner money.

Hes fallen behind Hobbs and Gay as of right now.

He'll be fine. He missed camp and he's probably a bit slow getting back but I'm not that concerned. He should have had an INT on Sunday on a deep middle throw.

give him a few games to get his feet back under him, he'll be fine when we really need him

Don't worry. It's you.

Just shaking the rust off, is my bet.

Agree, he'll be okay. But people who expect him to be like he was last year I think will be disappointed.

He had a monster year, for sure. But I don't think his year was indicative of his general playing ability. He's been solid, not spectacular, just as I expected.

Like somebody mentioned, if he had made that pick it'd be awful hard to make the case that he's lost anything. Like somebody else said in a different thread, for a corner like him to go unnoticed all game is a good thing.

Plus he's still improving. Remember what BB said in response to that instead of the usual dodging during Week 1: in Asante's case he flat out said that no, he's not at the level of the other players and no one should expect him to be. Yet.

As far as I can recall they threw at him once the entire game.

I wasn't an Asante supporter but because he hasn't made an INT after two keeps means he has lost a step? He didn't get an INT last year until Week 5.

Lost a step? um....

Rivers threw 29 passes sunday and I can only think of one that was thrown Asantes way, a long ball he almost picked.

Much like the playoff game, SD decided not to challenge Samuel....
