Almost unreal. Does any other professional team have such a love-hate relationship with their fans? They're still farging idiots, but pulling stuff off like this makes you think
Holy shtein!
Wow.
Wow
So.......and I know this is bitchy, but.......why'd we give up Kolb for DRC?
more toys for offensive line coach juan castillo!
go team.
Ive never been so excited slash confused by a signing. I LIKE IT THOUGH!
DRC to safety? WTF--dont know what to think but whatever
Everybody keeps wondering what they will do with all three CBs, in case you forget the nickel is basically a base defense now.

That didn't take long.
So, is one of these guys playing safety? Holy shtein. I was just joking around with my Jets-fan father in law that I still had hope the Eagles would sign him. Said maybe the "mystery team" stuff gave me false hope. Wow.
You gotta think DRC not too happy
they were pretty successful when they had vincent, taylor and harris. i guess this is that, except better. oh and no dawkins.

True but a pass rush wouldn't hurt either, and that's a lot of cheddar at cb.
This is a passing league, 3 good CBs is a necessity. DRC will get plenty of playing time.
when is the presser? 6?
Mexico time yes--here its at 7pm
Confusing. But this nickel D should be sick. Well, minus the tackles, ends, linebackers and safeties that is.
If I'm Asante Samuel, I'm going to bed early tonight and to work early tomorrow, and henceforth.

Funny you should mention that. Remember that he's been excused from the beginning of camp for "personal reasons?"
Those "personal reasons" are probably the Eagles' FO thinking "we gonna trade yo ass, son."
In all seriousness, he's probably gone.
Some dude McManus from the Philadelphia whatever-paper just interviewed on Sportscenter and said now they're gonna trade one of the three because there are 3 starting corners for only 2 spots and Asante makes the most sense. He said the personal reasons were probably all of this happening, but that was purely speculation.
Asante for haynesworth and a second.

My pee pee is doing funny things right now with this news.
Yep, that's what I was saying about Samuel this past season. People like to say he gets so many big plays because he gives up so many--that might be true normally, but last year he was ridiculous.
Well the word last year was that he had beef with Boy Wonder McDermott...
Keep all three.
Because they're an injury away from Joselio or Lindley playing.

Almost feels as good screwing the Jets as it does the Cowboys. Apparently Jerrah Jones & Co. thought they had him. Eat shtein stretch face.
:-D
QuoteAt one point, Jerry handed the phone to defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, who coached Asomugha for five seasons with the Oakland Raiders. Ryan talked on the phone for several minutes during drills while standing within 10 yards of Terence Newman, who might have been released if Asomugha agreed to come to Dallas.
"I will tell you that I did not get Rob to break from the drill and come over unless it was serious business for the Dallas Cowboys," Jerry said.
Serious. Business.
Your target just decided to play against you twice a year. And he picked playing for an offensive line coach over your heralded DC.

True. Driving home from the gym I tuned to the dallas cowboys NFL Sirius radio show featuring NFL.com senior douchebag Gil Brandt. His story was great.
He said he called jerruh this afternoon a few minutes after 4 and talked to his personal secretary. He asked if they had signed Asomugha yet and she said "not yet" because they had to wait until 6pm to make it official.
Lol, they thought it was in the bag. That was excellent and more than worth tuning in to.
That is awesome! Though i do like Gil Brandt he knows his shtein.
Not to be disagreable, but I can't stand that dickhole. He's such a farging egomaniac and tries to impress people with how smart he is because he know this arcane trivia nobody gives a shtein about, like the area code of bumfarg montana where some 9th round CB was drafted by the rams in 1969, but can't remember basics like tonight when he didn't know the name of "that running back from the Houston Oilers" (Foster). He turns every conversation into something about the cowboys regardless of what the callers ask about. It is the same smug dallas uber alles Americas Team vomit that organization has been polluting the planet with since Tex Schramm. Farg dallas and their pathetic mongoloid staff and owner.
I'm a Gil Brandt fan too but that's a fairly respectable rant.
So this is what Joey B was up to while I was flying back to LA. Not bad, dick.

Decent summary of how this whole deal happened:
QuoteStaying quiet
Dogra, Banner said, helped keep the Eagles' involvement quiet. He even left some of his top aides in the dark.
But the numbers still didn't match up on Thursday. Shortly after midnight Friday morning, Roseman texted Dogra to let him know: Thanks for your consideration, but we can't do it.
At the same moment, Dogra was texting back: I'd really like to make this work. The agent took the simultaneous messaging as a sign, and called Roseman to revive the deal.
"It was hard for us to put everything together with the plan we had with obviously the money that [Asomugha] was going to get," Roseman said. "His commitment to come to Philadelphia was really something that showed through."
Roseman got Reid and Banner on the phone. They woke up Lurie. The chase was back on.

Impressive use of the reverse Jew psychology that Roseman/Banner used to get this done. Sounds like Nmandi wanted to be an Eagle worse then the Eagles wanted him.
Quote"Of course, subject to owner approval," he said, according to Lurie.
The owner laughed. "Howie, I approve."
Roseman told Reid. The deal couldn't be announced until 6 p.m., though. In his office, Banner celebrated internally, but stared at the clock, wishing it would move faster.
Lurie went back to watching ESPN and the NFL Network. The Jets were the leaders, they said. The Cowboys were also in. It was down to those two, reporters said.
"I'm watching all this knowing we've got him," Lurie said. "It was surreal."

Sal Pal was saying in his report yesterday, that Dogra and Asomghua had texted the Eagles basically saying "Don't do anything... until you've checked with us" and the Eagles agreed to the same. He said the Eagles were always his first choice and wouldn't sign with anyone before giving the Eagles a last shot at him.
Incredible.
sounds like philly was where they wanted to be the whole time and money had nothing to do with it

Worst nickname ever?
or best depending on where you are coming from
I'm not a fan of nicknames that take longer to type than actual names. So I'll shorten it to "Assy".
The percentage of places where that is considered the best nickname is so small that you can consider it a statistical anomaly and ignore it.

QuoteNnamdi Asomugha, Eagles (5 years, $60 million). The Eagles haven't just picked up a great player; they got him at a great price. The simple fact of the matter is the NFL is low on shutdown corners, which Asomugha is. In three years he's been thrown at 87 times; 25 cornerbacks were thrown at more than that in 2010 alone.

Christ they got some big ass DBs now. Saw a picture of DRC standing next to Riley Cooper, and they are they same build. Also read a good note that although Cooper has really looked great in camp so far, at one point he was matched against DRC, who just completely ate Cooper's lunch and made it look as though he was expending almost no effort doing it.
PG, we expect up to the minute reports.
Still feel like something is going to shake out here soon.
You have 2 guys that excel at press man (which Im assuming Castillo reverts to majority of the time to maximize the talents on the outside) and one that excels at zone coverage.
If they are going to be playing nickel and have all 3 on the field at the same time no way Sameuls is able to benefit off playing slot corner. He doesn't blitz or play the run well. Matter of fact DRC is perceived the same way so this should be interesting.
carted off in practice today. yay.
word is it's not serious and he should practice tomorrow
Here's some All 22 analysis of Nnamdi's lowlights from the Giants game.
http://www.phillymag.com/eagles/2012/10/03/all-22-review-what-it-tells-us-about-nnamdi/
My take is that he's not getting much help from the DC on either play, since Coleman is being instructed to prioritize the run on both, and that Allen has some responsibility for taking the bait on the Hixon play.
my takes fwiw
the first one is like 60/40 blame on assy...he completely whiffed on his chuck and coleman bit hard on the run...but if assy slows barden down by jamming him at the line then coleman can possibly recover
i tend to disagree with mcmanus as far as coleman supposedly being told to prioritze the run there.....they are clearly in a two deep...coleman is ten yards off the line here as opposed to seven yards off the line on the second play in question in which he clearly was playing the run...its also 2nd and 7 here with a single back versus 1st and 10 and an I formation on the second play which is much more of a run look
the second play is all on nate allen...hes supposed to be single over the top as coleman was clearly playing run on this play...assy didnt get a jam on this play but i dont think he was necessarily supposed to...he was supposed to take away the sideline and funnel the wr to the safety which he did
ruben frank defends nnamdi like a mofo on twitter, thinks he's almost as unfairly criticized as donovan was
I want to know Roob's story about taking Seth Joyner to Show & Tell
roob is repulsive homer
Assy has farged up on plenty of plays. That being said, whether Coleman is being "told" to do it or not, that bitch gets sucked up in shotgun empty backfield sets. He's farging horrible.
Asomugha's biggest problem is that DRC is so damn good. His second biggest problem is that the safeties are average on a good day.
Frankly, I think he's looked pretty solid in coverage this year. The rules favor the offense, and he pushes them to the limit. Regardless, he's been much more effective than he was last year.
as long as assy doesnt have to run hes fine....he is outrageously slow
He'd be fast in the B1G.
hed probably be the conference 100M champion
Not the 50M or 40Y champ, though. His problem is re-accelerating after change of direction. But again, he's still above average there, and he might just seem slower because DRC is so damn fast and fluid.
other than the bedwetter i cant recall the last eagle i have hated more than this cat
I could live with him if he was a solid corner. We were all expecting a shutdown CB, but at the very least he should be adequate in coverage. He's toast Jenkins only worse because of his contract. Teams are starting to exploit him deep more and more as weeks go on, they need to leave a safety over top of him to help out because he's toast.
he looks incredibly uncoordinated. like always tripping and stumbling when trying to cover a wideout making a cut.

YES
also his recovery is laughable
in general he might be the slowest cb ive ever seen
He's got to be one of the most disliked currents athletes in the city.
He gives that "WTF" look to another safety this year Juan needs to kick him in the genitals, hard.
I can only imagine the love he'll get next week the first time he gags covering Megatron.
The odd sack will do him wonders.
I may have said this before, but a few years back I had a debate w a friend that Nnamdi was the best cb in the game. I pulled stats that were ridiculous - something like 5 tds given up in 3 years, targeted only 1.something times per game, etc. The guy was building a a strong resume for Canton. I don't know what the farg has happened to him but his sudden horrific drop in production since he has been here is one of the biggest shocks ever. It's almost like he forgot how to play the game. They best re-sign DRC.
Yeah they better get DRC to sign before he hits the market.
Its disappointing to see how lousy Asogmuha has been.

The logical answer is coaching. Allowing him to play to his strengths vs. forcing him to play in a system that doesn't fit them.
That might have been an excuse for last season when they were trying to use him like GB used Woodson but what's his excuse for this season? He's jamming receivers at the line and getting burnt in coverage. They're not moving him all over the field like they did last season and I don't see them playing a ton of zone like they did when money bags was here.
I think Nmadi's strength is in the 5-7 yard range...anything about that, he's toast. He's the biggest beneficiary from pressure on the QB....but we've had a drought...so he's also been the biggest loser from that.
Nnamdi's strength is in the 2006-2010 range.
Lol
says he'll take a pay cut to stay (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000114167/article/eagles-nnamdi-asomugha-sounds-open-to-pay-cut)
Still not worth it.
I'd take him back on a pay cut
You can't put a price on those confused/outraged faces he makes towards the safety every other play.
Has there ever been a bigger disappointment than this guy? Maybe Lindros. Kearse and T.O. together, sure, but those two at least got the Eagles to a Super Bowl.

Lindros at one point during his Flyers career was considered the best player in the league. I don't understand the disappointment aspect. He also carried them to a Cup appearance.
TO was far from a disappointment with his play. Kearse was but he wasn't as big a bust as Aso Toast.
A fairer comparison would be Lance Parrish or Bryz.
Bynum
Lindros was the greatest player in the world and he was also the single-most hyped player in history. I doubt there's a Flyers fan alive who was there to experience what it meant to get him. Lindros meant MULTIPLE Cups, not just a scant appearance in the Finals. He met his individual potential briefly but I don't think anyone can argue that him not winning a league championship is a bigger disappointment than any other athlete in Philly history.
I don't know what made me happier, the fact the Eagles signed him or that Dallas didn't get him. Right now, Dallas can have him. Definitely one of the all time busts.
As far as Eagles free agent signings go he's the biggest bust and it's hard to think of a close second.

Kearse distant second. And I think Stacy Andrews is in the conversation.

He bought the franchise and was thought of as a saviour because he wasn't going to move the team. He talked about winning Super Bowls, setting the standard in the NFL, etc. He talked a HUGE game and has delivered dick on the field.
That is one well dressed homeless man.
Least interesting man in Philadelphia.
Mosquitoes don't bite him, purely out of respect.
QuoteThe Philadelphia Eagles will ask cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha to restructure his contract or they will release him, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The two sides are meeting Friday in Indianapolis at the scouting combine. Asomugha is scheduled to make $15 million, $4 million of which is guaranteed.
He's pretty useless here, at almost any price. Either his confidence or his body is shot. Either way, he sucks.
i dont even care about his play...hes gotta go because of his i dont give a farg attitude i got my big deal....hes THE representative of the hideous culture that has permeated the locker room over the last two years...would make absolutely no sense to bring him back when you just began a new era of eagle football with chipper
shtein needs to be turned over not restructured
There's truth to that. But if he was as awesome as advertised, the attitude would be a lot easier to tolerate. If he didn't suck you wouldn't even have a chance to be bothered by his attitude. The problem is he doesn't seem to care that he sucks.

basically agree with every word of this.
Good riddance. He can blame Kurt Coleman on his way out of the Novacare Complex.
he came blame himself and only himself--dude was burnt and dropped off a man coverage to zone on purpose so many times it wasnt even funny
There's plenty of corners out there that can be signed for the vet minimum and get beat just as badly. He'll take the restructured deal because it's still probably better than anything he'd get on the open market, but I really don't see why the Eagles are making the offer in the first place. Bad cornerbacks are a dime a dozen.

especially when you consider the fact that the zesty safeties basically magnify his weaknesses even more.
I came home from work, saw this thread unread and hoped for good news.
Alas, no news of any kind, just gossip.
Get free of this guy and move on.

http://www.philly.com/philly/business/top10/Phillys_Biggest_Sports_BustsWorst_Contracts.html?ref=
Nnamdi made #2 on the top 10 list of biggest busts in Philly sports history. The little caption that goes along with his picture sums it up nicely.
QuoteWhen his contract with Oakland was nullified in 2011, Nnamdi Asomugha - a Pro Bowler, All-Pro, All-Decade cornerback - arrived in Philadelphia and naturally lost any and all evidence that he was a professional football player; but not before signing a $60 million contract.
hollis thomas is saying that nomdi never ate with his teammates....he would bring a bag lunch to novacare and go out to the parking lot and eat in his car everyday.....andy threatened to fine him if he continued to do it....hollis said he wasnt sure if it ever came to that
I do that shtein at work all the time and no one seems to care.
Are they paying you $14mln a year to get them over the hump and into the (insert profession here) championship? Because if so I'd like to PM you my resume.
Normally Havas' reluctance to spell peoples names right usually doesn't bug me but the "nomdi" does for some reason. NNAMDI!
I figured he would eat in the cafeteria and if the food was cooked wrong he'd throw his hands up and point at Kurt Coleman
Good one, King

Amazing how happy we were when they signed him and how relieved we are now that they've cut his ass.
Biggest Eagles-player disappointment ever, probably.
I don't know about biggest disappointment ever, but I'm on board with something like, biggest turn-around from great hope to most reviled.
If you think we hate him now, wait til next year when he suddenly turns All-Pro again on some team we hate.
ummm did that dude really try to pass off the racist picture as nothing?
did everyone ignore it? where am i.
You're on the other CF, and no one said anything about it. No one.
