Asante Samuel says Darrell Green wasn't a Great cornerback

[b. woods]

Green's Punt Return Touchdown at Soldier Field against the Bears in the playoffs while having torn cartilage in his ribs

 

[yseJ]

I don't discriminate against zone corners, but Asante wasn't as good as Green was, period He's being salty af and being told on Twitter too

 

[Reggie]

There's always been "big" (6'+) corners: Rod Woodson, Chris McAlister, Charles Woodson, Dale Carter, Chris Gamble, etc. Most corners are shorter but taller corners aren't unicorns lmao...

Hell Deion himself was like 6'1

 

[DropTopDoc]

That was a punt return

my bad, but i think he had some other plays too, like i get it, he may not have been in most people’s mind as that nikka but he was a damn decent corner


What if i told you this wrs best years td wise was his 2nd and 5th season with 11, what if i told you he never got over a 1000 yards, the most he got was 800 he did that twice and a couple 700 yard seasons, Not that impressive right ?? What if i told you he’s in the hall of fame.... the point is, sometimes it’s the team, or a play or enough chatter to get you notoriety and solid enough stats and boom people will hold you in that regard, but to the people that played the same time as him, they let it be known, dude was not some scrub and he was more than just a fast ass cb

He was near that Deion level back in the early 90s. IIRC, he fell in love with the white girl and fell off quickly.

When I was real young I collected football cards and Dale Carter was one of the first ones I ever had. When I started playing football I wanted to be an end because Kearse was my favorite player, but I was too small so they made me a corner. I became infatuated with the position and used to line up all the corners cards I had and play with em lol...

 

[feelosofer]

Asante Samuel was a great corner but he does not have the cache to make that statement. He's just trying to be different.

 

[L. Deezy]

even as a Dallas fan, I will not respect any Darrell Green slander.

 

[FaTaL]

I didn’t realize dude retired at 32

 

[THE MACHINE]

What made asante wake up saying "You know i wanna troll Darrell Green today. You see he didbt respond 2 Dungy

Dungy responds with that potent response and waits for Asante
**Asante Samuel has left the chat**

Arent him and Jake Reed brothers?

 

[mastermind]

Arent him and Jake Reed brothers?

I think so.

 

[Astroslik]

Breh asked for people to tell him why Green is great then said he doesn't listen to people and finds out for himself





Smh. Green also didn't freelance like Samuel.
Samuel played a big role in the Patriots D's poor last drive in Super Bowl XLII. He left David Tyree free so Rodney Harrison could get posterized. He also dropped a game sealing INT.




Yes sir

Him and Wes Welker can’t sleep at night because of this game.

DG was matching up with Cris Carter, Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin, Sterling Sharpe etc., on the regular. A man-to-man corner following HOF receivers all over the field. Asante was a zone corner....apples and oranges.

This would be like Eddie George calling out Eric dikkerson for how he ran the ball.

lol right, not to mention DG debuted in '83 which was a different universe than today. When passing picked up a bit in 97-98 DG had 10 picks from age 38-41, 15 pass deflections in 1 season at age 39. He was surely a HOFer, Of course not Deion level but a HOFer no doubt
