According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, there is a growing belief around the league that Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha no longer cares about the game like he use to.
Theres also a theory making its way through league circles (and the locker room) that Asomugha doesnt care about the game like he used to, Florio wrote. Regardless of how he feels about football, he no longer plays like he used to.
Asomugha isnt nearly the corner now that he once was when he was a shutting down opposing receivers for the Raiders. Whether that is due to age (31) or the fact that he simply doesnt care anymore will remain to be seen.
The main focus around the Eagles struggles so far this year has been on Michael Vick, Andy Reid, and former defensive coordinator Juan Castillo. Yesterday was the first game the defense played under new defensive coordinator Todd Bowles and the defense didnt show much resistance, as they gave up 30 points in a loss to the Falcons. If the Eagles dont turn their season around in a hurry, more players, like Asomugha, could come under fire for their performance. Source: NFL Trade Rumors Attached Thumbnails

Eagles must make a move
The time is now for Andy Reid to save what he has left in terms of job security, and even if he makes a move now, there is a good possibility that he will be gone once the season has come to an end.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in the lead up to the season that a .500 team is not acceptable, and one can understand why he feels that way considering the amount that he has invested...

There is no easy way to say this, the Philadelphia Eagles are a 3-4 football team after eight weeks...

It’s funny: I am not angry over the 30-17 loss the Eagles suffered to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Well, I am upset that the Falcons scored on their first six possessions and held a 24-7 halftime lead. The Eagles made third-down stops, only to be overturned by penalty.
The Eagles could not stop the rain and wind, nor could they stop Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan and the rest...
