Asomugha wants to stay with Eagles

Found November 24, 2012 on Sports-Glory: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Nnamdi Asomugha,  Andy Reid,  Cullen Jenkins,  Michael Vick
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
Nnamdi Asomugha's time so far in Philadelphia hasn't been we thought it would be.  The often criticized Eagles cornerback thought he was joining a Super Bowl contender.  But the former Pro Bowler says he still hopes to remain with the Philadelphia Eagles after the season. Asomugha signed a five-year, $60 million contract in July 2011.  He is due a base salary of $15 million in 2013.  The Eagles record since he signed is 11-15, but he says he doesn't regret joining the team. "I absolutely believe in the decision I made and believe in this team," Asomugha said to Zach Berman of the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I want to be around for this turnaround that I know is going to happen." As far as the criticism Asomugha receives, he said he understands the fans frustrations.   "If a fan has an issue with [how things have gone], they're not going to get me saying that's wrong," Asomugha said. "As a fan, I can look back to teams that I've ...

Nnamdi Asomugha believes things will turn around for himself and the Philadelphia Eagles

Via Philly Sports Muse  |  November 25, 2012
  Fairly or unfairly, if there is one player who represents the underperformance of the 2011 and 2012 Philadelphia Eagles, it is Nnamdi Asomugha. When the Birds landed the three-time Pro Bowl corner in the free agent spending spree that followed the NFL lockout in the summer of 2011, it seemed that the sky was the limit for the team. In hindsight, it’s hard to fault Vince Young...

Jeff Lurie Should Fire Andy Reid Now if He Insists on Going Back to Vick

Via Eagles Addict  |  November 23, 2012
Ever since Michael Vick went down with his concussion, I’ve been pounding the drum that Nick Foles should remain the Eagles’ starting QB for the rest of the season, regardless of how he or the team performs. I even went so far as to say that Andy Reid would be selfish not do so. Before all the Vick lovers come crying, this is not about him.  My reasoning for starting Foles is...

Cal (Finally) Fires Jeff Tedford

Via Double Coverage Football  |  November 23, 2012
Two weeks ago I called Cal coach Jeff Tedford the "Andy Reid of college football" as both mens' coaching careers hung in the balance. While Reid still clings to life in Philadelphia, Cal has let Tedford go after nearly eleven seasons in Berkeley. Like Reid, Tedford brought his team to an unprecedented level of sustained success, but like Reid, it was time for him to...

A Philadelphia Eagles Thanksgiving: What We Can Be Thankful For

Via Eagles Addict  |  November 22, 2012
It’s true that this 2012 Philadelphia Eagles team has played more like the prey, rather than birds of prey, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving I thought it would be better to take a look at the positive side of things. There hasn’t been much to cheer about this season, unfortunately.  And, we’re facing a future with the most uncertainty since after the 1998 season.  However...

Eagles make Panthers look like favorites

With a rookie quarterback and a running back making his first start since high school, the Philadelphia Eagles will try for their first win in two months. No wonder even the Carolina Panthers (2-8) are favored on the road. The struggling Eagles (3-7) have lost six straight games entering Monday night's matchup against Cam Newton and the Panthers. They won't have Michael...

Brown is no Shady Juan… Andy Reid has already ruled out both Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy for Monday Night Football.  That means more Nick Foles and possibly fantasy savior Bryce Brown.  Foles has already shown he can’t be trusted for fantasy purposes, but Brown is somewhat intriguing. The Panthers were getting shredded earlier in the season by the run, but have tightened...
