Sorry to hear about Monty Beisel's retirement.

Yes. I've heard that every NFL player has at least one flaw in their game as well.

Not Tommy Brady !

He doesn't throw well on the run! There! Take that!

 

[PatsChamp88]

Fairly old news

 

[Patjew]

Yes! This mean we win, right??

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Not Tommy Brady !

he can't exactly run

He also leads the league in letting easy interceptions float through his fingertips when a perfect season is on the line.

Thats a good point.

Don't forget that he's a "system" QB and he's subpar at best if you take him away from the "system".

We knew this years ago. Samuel is the king of getting beat on a juke on 3rd and 9.

We mistook Samuel for a physical guy back in 2005 when he laid that killer hit on Jeb Putzier. He was always a poor open field tackler, low contact and poor instincts.

The guy figured out how to jump a route, and made $50 million off of it. Good for him.

The Eagles starting combo of Samuel and Hobbs will keep them out of the Super Bowl.

jumping routes requires instinct.

Actually, I think Hobbs is capable of doing that all by himself.

Asante isn't much of a tackler--neither was Deion Sanders.

I can believe you typed this, but I can't believe you hit submit...

 

[HEY BRO! WHAT UP?]

Does this stat make you feel better? Jason Allen may be the "best tackling DB", but he has been a flat out bust in Miami. This Asante Samuel obsession is getting weird.

Quoted for truth. Word....

Hey, it's not like I sift through the trash outside his house every night. Just weekends.
