Asante Samuel never played for Jim Schwartz. If he had, it would’ve been a very turbulent — and very brief — marriage.
Samuel was a talented, four-time Pro Bowl corner who intercepted 51 passes during his 11 NFL seasons, which is just three fewer than another former Eagle, Eric Allen, and two fewer than Ty Law, who made it to the final 10 in last year’s Hall of Fame voting.
But Samuel was allergic to tackling. His disinterest in it drove the late Jim Johnson to distraction and probably would’ve driven Schwartz to 25-to-life in a maximum-security prison.
