Falcons’ DC Nolan will show Eagles how to use Asante Samuel

Last year the Philadelphia Eagles had arguably the best cornerback trio in the league with Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Asante Samuel. At least on paper anyway.

That group did a good job but they weren’t as good as people expected them to be with three high-rated, big-named corners occupying the same defensive backfield.

Atlanta Falcons won’t improve much through draft

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank mentioned in a recent interview that he liked his team as it is constructed and that the coaching changes they have made will help them get over the playoff hump they have encountered the past four years. I’m sorry to say it but that’s hogwash and he knows it.

What he was really saying is that his team has done a poor job of managing cap space and that his coaching staff must do a better job of evaluating talent.
