The hard part is that Asante Samuel has intercepted more passes than anybody else in the NFL in the last, I think, four years — you could probably help me with that better than I could ... And he’s done it on the left side. So I mean, he’s pretty good over there and I think that’s enough said, there.
Eagles corner Asante Samuel is trying to tackle an issue that hits very close to home. Especially considering that Samuel grew up with a single mom with very little money. They were so poor, Samuel says, that they were evicted

I guess it sucks for them ... It sucks for us, too. We're supposed to be a great team at home, no matter what team you are, but for some reason we can't get home-field advantage to work for us.
They were working on all cylinders
You're supposed to be a great team at home, no matter what team you are ... For some reason, we can't get home-field advantage to work for us.
New faces. New coaches. Takes time
He said that about me? ... Stop it. No way. I’ve got to see it to believe it. I don’t believe you guys. They all be pulling my chain Derek (football media relations director Boyko).
I think his leadership and determination are what make him so good ... All he wants to do is win and be perfect. That’s what he strives for everyday.
I guess my best memory of him was our competition in practice ... I would like to see him get red in the face when I got the best of him. He’s a diehard competitor, true soldier, true warrior. He’s got a lot of heart and you love to play with a guy like that.
There you go ... We’re going to be good.
Yeah, we’re going to be good.
Who knows? ... He might be all right.
All he wants to do is win and be perfect ... That's what he strives for every day. He's real close to it. He knows that.
I guess our competition in practice ... When (receiver Randy) Moss was there and I was there, we would always just compete, and I would like to see him get red in the face when I got the best of him in practice. He's a diehard competitor, true soldier, true warrior, lot of heart, and you love to play wi...
We were always just competing ... I just liked to always see him get red in the face and the neck when I was getting the best of him in practice. He’s a diehard competitor, a true soldier, a true warrior, a lot of heart. You love to play with a guy like that.
I’ve got him, you’ve got Fitzgerald
I’ve got heart, I’m a fighter and I always play to the end ... And that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to fight to the end. We’ve got Eagle pride around here and that’s how it’s going to be.
