Asante Samuel could be sliding out of the starting lineup
While Samuel prefers the left side, he was frozen by a stutter step and then burned for a 50-yard touchdown pass by Bengals receiver A.J. Green.
The Falcons have given no indication that Samuel could be in trouble of not making the team, but we’re getting closer to the day when there will be inevitable surprises as rosters get slashed from 90 to 53. Asante Samuel could be sliding out of the starting lineup | ProFootballTalk |

Re: Asante Samuel could be sliding out of the starting lineup
What did they give up to get him? Seems kind of a waste if he's not starting, unless they stay in nickle/dime 70%+ of the time...

Re: Asante Samuel could be sliding out of the starting lineup
Brees has got to be stoked. From what I read about that play, Asante got "set up" for it over a series of plays, where Green ran kinda similar routes but didn't run full speed for several plays beforehand, making Asante think that was all the juice Green had, then Green hit him with the stutter step move to get past him. The Saints and Brees excel at that type of deception, where you set something up for later, over a series of plays. Awesome.

Re: Asante Samuel could be sliding out of the starting lineup
I was reading some Philly fans comments when he left them this spring.
They weren't all that disappointed. Almost to a person, the Eagles fans felt he was still pretty sneaky for a cornerback and that he occasionally jumped routes when he fooled the quarterback but that he got burnt a lot lately. They felt he'd lost a step. He had a big salary with the Eagles. He renegotiated with the Falcons so he's much more "cap friendly" now. I am surprised he can't clearly beat out Dunta Robinson though. |

I want Robinson to be a slot corner, and that's it. All he's done is get burned.

Re: Asante Samuel could be sliding out of the starting lineup
That Falcons defense is why I dont think the offense is going to be anything much since everyone will see they going to pass it more than then ever did.
Matt Ryan in a more passing offense has gotten the Falcons in so much trouble before. |
