SAMUEL DOUBTFUL FOR CARDINALS
Bob Brookover
The already difficult assignment of covering the NFL's best trio of wide receivers figures to be even more difficult for the Eagles tomorrow night because they will likely be without Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel.
After twice suffering stingers during the Eagles' loss in Baltimore Sunday, Samuel was listed as doubtful for the Eagles' Thanksgiving night game against the Arizona Cardinals, who have three wide receivers -- Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston -- among the top 15 in receiving yards in the NFL.
Samuel sat out of practice for the third straight as did running back Correll Buckhalter, who is also listed as doubtful with a sprained knee ligament. Buckhalter said Monday that he would not play against Arizona. Running back Brian Westbrook did practice today and was listed as questionable for the game.
Good he stinks!— Clarkeisgod- THE SUSPENSE IS BUILDING FOR THIS GAME. HOW OFTEN WILL ARIZONA SCORE BEFORE THEY PUT IN THEIR THIRD STRING AND SPECIAL TEAMERS? WILL REID RESIGN AFTER THE GAME? WILL DONAVAN WANT TO SPREAD THE BALL AROUND? WILL UNCLE MARTY HAVE INSIGHTS INTO THE RUNNING GAME? WILL THERE BE ANYONE LEFT IN THE LOWER STANDS BY THE FOURTH QUARTER? ARE THE EAGLES STILL THE GOLD STANDARD OF THE NFC? WILL ANY OF THE WRITERS ATTEND THE POST GAME NEWS CONFERENCE?— JACK V
- Calling Tony Hunt...calling Tony Hunt. Maybe Reid will at least dress Booker? Put me in, coach..— psuwelsh
- you guys PLEASE! there are injuries here the solution is not to fire the guys who are healthy! It is to wish get well soon to those who are hurt! fans get credit when teams win and win championships! Are thew fans who write like this more a part of the problem rather than the solution!— billgfc
Is it possible to list an entire team as "doubtful"? Not in terms of injury either. Just plain doubtful. Bordering on irrelevant.— burholme- Isn't funny what good receivers can do for temas! Like the Cards, Boys, NY (both), and so on.. Reid you're IDOT!!!!!!! Plus a running game which they never had under Reid! Oh yes the Three head monster and how fast did he get rid of that! IDOT! IDOT!!!!!!!!!!— losteagle
Comment removed.- I predicted the Ravens in a walk. This game will be more interesting in the first half. In the second half; the Cardinals will stop taking the Eagles lightly or feeling sorry for them and blow them out. Then Andy Reid will start Kolb for the rest of the season and everyone will get a chance to see how bad he is. We're in trouble for a few years to come.— chgtown
Reed you IDOT. That's a good one.— COskier- How are indecipherable posts like losteagle's permitted to remain on this board? I can't help thinking of Samuel Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction when he screams, "English, motherf'er... do you speak it? when I read the comments listed in these forums. Dial it up a notch, Philly.com. Now.— Romes
- I hate the state of this team right now.. its like the fans are the only ones that care that the team is getting laughed at by the entire nation.. Wake up EAGLES this city deserves more..70,000+ are on the waiting list for tickets. We paid our dues now start putting a good product out there. Not just a competitive one!!!!— fly4philly
