Samuel returns to Philly with Falcons
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Philadelphia fans infamously booed Santa Claus and yet Falcons cornerback Asante Samuel, a former Eagle making his homecoming on Sunday, has insisted for weeks now that some of the country's toughest fans will cheer him when he and his unbeaten team takes the field as an opponent on Sunday.
"Oh, they better cheer for me," Samuel said. "They...

The Eagles offseason trade of Asante Samuel was complex for a few different reasons most of all, because of Samuels contract.
The veteran cornerback had to restructure his deal with any team that wanted to trade for him, so in reality, it was almost like he was a free agent picking his destination. If the Eagles found a trading partner that was willing to offer up acceptable...

Asante Samuel aiming for big day in Philadelphia
Asante Samuel can't wait to return to Philadelphia with his unbeaten Atlanta Falcons.
The brash cornerback says he still has ''nothing but love'' for Eagles fans despite getting traded to Atlanta six months ago for a seventh-round draft pick.
It was an unceremonious departure for a four-time Pro Bowl pick who lost his starting job when Philadelphia acquired...

Where are the Eagles headed the rest of the season? A look at their remaining schedule and the NFC East

The Eagles are an interesting team to follow. They have enough talent on offense to be very successful, but they are weak on defense. The biggest criticism I have of the Eagles offense is that they need to call plays that help out their strengths. I do not understand how McCoy doesn't get 30 carries a game. That would allow Vick to set-up play action and cut up defenses...

Vick says playing Falcons 'just another game'
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Its been six years since Michael Vick last suited up for the Atlanta Falcons and so now, as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, the main plot of the teams meeting on Sunday is the plight of the 3-3 Eagles and the imperiled future of their turnover-prone quarterback.
With the NFC foes meeting on what seems an almost annual basis, Vick has played twice in Atlanta...

Cornback Asante Samuel makes his return to Philadelphia this weekend, and he thinks that, for all he's done for fans during the four years he was an Eagle, he deserves a warm welcome.
What does he think he is, some sort of Super Bowl Hero? He very well could've been just that, albeit for another team, the New England Patriots.
Samuel dropped a game clinching interception...

Rested Eagles shoot for 14-0 after bye under Reid
Whether they're cellar-dwellers or Super Bowl contenders, the Philadelphia Eagles don't lose after a bye.
Under coach Andy Reid, the Eagles are 13-0 after a week off since 1999. Stretching that streak to 14 won't be easy, however. The Eagles (3-3) host Atlanta (6-0) on Sunday.
''I think the coaches use the bye to figure out what works and what doesn't, what...
Falcons activate DT Peters
The Falcons on Friday activated defensive tackle Corey Peters and cut cornerback Terrence Johnson.
Peters, who had an injured foot, was on the reservenon-football injury list, which meant he could not even practice with the team until after Week 6. He has practiced all week long and will likely play on Sunday at Philadelphia, which has the NFLs No. 10 run defense.
Peters started...

Atlanta got a great time for a bye week and allowing them to retool their team and take a well deserved breather. After a too-close-for-comfort win over the Panthers, then a lopsided effort against the Redskins, followed by a terrifying performance against the Raiders that they had no business winning, Atlanta can use our recent play as an illustration for how to not play...

It hasn’t been long since the Philadelphia Eagles made the decision to fire defensive coordinator Juan Castillo after the team’s defense collapsed again versus the Detroit Lions a few Sundays ago.
Many though Nnamdi Asomugha was to blame for the firing after Andy Reid made the decision to do the move. However, Asomugha said his comments about Castillo had no influence...
