For those still interested in Eagle corners (link)

Asante Samuel - He was targeted 36 times in 2010, but the Rams went at Samuel six times yesterday. He was called for an illegal contact penalty on 3rd-and-6 in the second. The Rams were awarded a first down and eventually kicked a field goal on the drive. Later, Samuel did an excellent job of breaking up a pass intended for Brandon Gibson on third down. He’s not going to get many easier interception opportunities than the one he had in the fourth. The ball bounced off the Rams receiver, high into the air, but Samuel couldn’t make the catch. He stayed on the left side of the field all game.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - The Eagles were in nickel on only 20 of 66 defensive snaps. Rodgers-Cromartie was on the field for 19 plays and lined up in the slot on 18 of them. He was on Amendola on 3rd-and-10 in the second, but got beat for an 18-yard completion. The Eagles sent eight on a third-down blitz in the red zone, and Bradford was looking for Amendola. Rodgers-Cromartie had one-on-one coverage, and the throw was incomplete. He had good coverage on Greg Salas on a deep ball in the fourth.

Joselio Hanson - He was only on the field for a couple snaps in the fourth quarter. The Eagles didn't use their dime package with four cornerbacks this week.

Don't really think anything happens on this front, but Florio is speculating that Cromartie could be the odd man out in Philly rather than Samuel.

DT I get. OL not so much unless they were dissatisfied with Hangartner or were planning to bring Jean-Gilles back all along.

Said elsewhere I thought the Uglys looked better than people gave them credit for.

they are pretty thin on OL without Schwartz being able to play both right side positions

After watching yeaterday I am not sure we are set in pass defense.This league is going so much to a pass first you cannot have enough coverage guys.After seeing Poo get torched against the Cards I cant imagine who he will draw against the Packers but they will be better for sure and go right at him.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
