Former Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel, now playing for the 6-0 Falcons, took to Twitter to offer his opinion of Andy Reid firing defensive coordinator Juan Castillo.
Samuel, never at a loss for words, will face his former team next Sunday when the Eagles travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons.
Sometimes you have to blame yourself. You can't try and always point the figure at someone else

sound like asante samual is preparing himself for a 3 pick game against the eagles in 2 weeks,since its pretty obvious vick will still be the quarterback then.— arkdad212- For those of you who think Foles is the answer, you need to wake up. You're dreaming. Behind that line, Joe Montanna in his prime would be fumbling and throwing picks too. Drafting a 26 year old firefighter without a lot of football experience, yea, that's working out well. Then you have injuries to key players. The O line is garbage, therefore the QB play is garbage.— Tim R
- Right about Reid's drafting but you're sayin Foles would do WORSE than VICK?? One thing for sure, Foles may be better IN THE POCKET than Vick. At least the O-line would know where he'd be. Vick has never been good at moving in the pocket and he's no longer faster than todays defensive players. FIRE ANDY NOW!! FIRE MARTY NOW!! CUT VICK NOW!!!! Lurie is wasting our time!!
— desjones - Your wasting your time. Lurie is not going to fire Reid after 6 weeks when the team is one game out of first. Does anyone pay attention to the rest of the NFC? There isn't a lot of great football being played right now. There are a few very good teams, a lot of mediocre teams and some bad teams. What pocket are you talking about? Would that be the one that doesn't exist on a lot plays. Cut Vick??? If the line doesn't play better, the non-moble QBs may get crushed. Not to mention cutting Vick would be a bad business decision because his money is guaranteed this season. — SC Philly Fan
- Foles would not last a full game with their offensive line. They arent even slowing them down half the time. The comment about Joe Montana is correct in my opinion. — tr88
- Overall you bring up some good points Tim R, but Vick has been a turnover machine HIS ENTIRE CAREER. He didn't start throwing interceptions and fumbling this year. In fact he only STOPPED doing it for 9 or 10 games in 2010, the rest of his career it's been the same story. — mx55
- Didn't Foles have the best QB rating in preseason? Maybe he can't do better, but he sure did in preseason. You don;t lead the league in preseason QB ratings and have no talent. Plus he is perfect for west coast, can see and get rid of the ball quickly and we can become a real W-Coast offense. Do it!!! Put Nick in!! — Ben Dawkins
- The highest rated quarterback in the preseason?? Wow. You are beyond clueless. If you knew anything about football, you would realize that nobody gameplans in the preseason. Ben, get your a dope! Also, under your premise if we go by preseason, Bryce Brown should be getting 15 touches a games, and Mardy Gilyard should be starting over Jason Avant. Please don't bore up with your idiotic rhetoric. — PSU_Chuck
- The Falcons travel to Philly, you dope - not the other way around.— CB4
- Lots of rookies QB's are playing better than the $100 million fraud Vick.....Andrew Luck was drafted by the WORST team in the NFL and has the Worst o line in NFL, yet Luck is playing BETTER than the loser Vick...also RG111 is on the lousy Redskins, yet RG111 is BETTER than the fraud Vick....Nick Foles will be also.— Bob112
- Have you seen Luck's passer rating? It's one of the worst in the league among QBs playing in more than 2 games. But why let the facts get in the way, huh? Loser! — Strom
- Asante, you're not an Eagle anymore. Keep it to yourself.— dlscholt
- Cleveland Browns were sold today and Mike Holgrem was fired....maybe Lurie will fire Reid, and hire his mentor Holgrem.— Bob112
- the Falcons aren't 6-0 because of Asante. He had 1 INT this season, so he on pace for maybe 3 INT this season. wow way to contribute. MV and Jackson are gonna burn you all in 2 weeks....— FROM THE BEACH
- Why does everyone assume Foles will take the same beating as Vick with this horrible offensive line. Foles will probably throw the ball quicker. Like a good QB should, he will know who he wants to throw it to when he gets to the line of scrimmage by reading the defense. Unlike Vick who decides who he's throwing it to while the play develops because he can't read defenses. Then when Defenses realize this, they have to prepare for it. Which then takes the pressure of this horrible O-line and they play better. Pretty basic stuff. Too bad Andy can't figure it out.— davew31
