I'm not gonna poo poo this trade. They're definitely getting a guy with ball skills. I would imagine we'd run right at him because he's not much for tackling.
I will.
And he is not a good tackler so we will run right at him. Good thing is we have so many legit weapons that if they "shut down" one of our guys, we just light him up with another.
And our two home run hitters, Sproles and Graham, won't be covered by him directly.

Any time you add an experianced CB to your team its a good move.
Whether he re-works the contract who knows.
You can't have enough CB's these days expecially going against Drew cam and buckwheat 6 times a season and with your best (grimes) unsigned.
PS
die falcons die!

On the accounting side i am not sure how good the deal is but on the football side it looks like a great pick up.
Against the Saints it isn't as big of a deal since the offense thrives on spreading the ball around which minimizes the impact of a single defender.
However division rivals Tampa Bay (Vincent Jackson) and Carolina (Steve Smith) have offenses that will have a feature guy. If Samuel can effectively cover them it will certainly have a big impact on their defense. The big if is can he do this?
(Theory also works out of division but I didn't think it was relevant on Saints talk)

I think that Atlanta missed their window. That is such a dramatic thing to say after they went 13-3 just a season ago, but their defense is horrendous and a non-physical 31 year old CB isn't going to change that.
I think the Saints win the NFC South easily this year. Look out for Carolina on the horizon though.

And he is not a good tackler so we will run right at him.
