CB height is over-rated since most of them can dunk a basketball with their elbows, but 5-8 is pretty short.

5'8" is gonna have a hard time out jumping Colston or Graham...

When your nemesis is Drew Brees this is not a bad pick-up. Has he lost a step..yep, but he's no Ashley Ambrose, the man can play. I give credit to the Falcons for at least making an honest effort to stop Brees.

I wonder what his price tag will be, how is the Falcons cap looking now?

Three years and $18 million. Not sure how it is structured, though.

Though I am wondering if Samuel's ability to cover was propagated by being a DB in 2 divisions that typically had week to moderate QB play. When at NE, he faced jets,dolphins, and bills. When with philly he faced redskins,cowboys, and giants.

Eli just started to play well, and is an interception machine. So Romo is probably the best he faced division wise on a regular basis.
At 5ft 8" ,NFCS has pretty large receivers averaging 6ft 2", and he's facing Brees,Freeman, and Cam. Should be interesting to see how he handles the change.

i

Atlanta got better but Since Brees and Super Bowl Winning Coach Sean Payton came to N.O. The Offense always has been efficient and march the ball up and down the field on a regular basis and on top of that while he was an eagle we still bust that ssa so I dont see what it would stop.

Eli has 2 Super Bowl Championships hes been playing well for years hes always been my back up QB in Fantasy Football lets be real Brees and Cam are the best in divison Qb he'll see Freeman is pretty good but we'll find out what Vincent Jkson does

We are still going to score 40 on the clowns with or without him.

Run at him. I've heard he's weak against the run so the dump offs and WR screens may produce big results on his side of the field.

I like the way you think.
