I didn't expect the Redskins to be that bad. My biggest complaints are that I feel Cooley and Orakpo both deserve 90's at least, other than that, I guess it's okay since they have spread the ratings out a bit.
He's also not great in man coverage so the 94 man rating his boosted.
This is a common misconception because he always plays off coverage. Asante still mainly plays man to man and excels at it. He played a lot more zone in New England than he does here in Philly.
He just doesn't do press which makes people think he doesn't do well in man coverage, which is not true at all. People think zone when they hear off coverage, but it merely has to do with how close he lines up to the receiver. He uses his great instincts to try and cut off routes but 90% of the time he is sticking with his man throughout the play.
His ratings are fine. As Deon Sanders says, "Asante Samuel is the best off coverage corner in the league".

I was camp yesterday as well, saw that play up close. Asante doesn't look good in one on one drills. Most CBs don't, it favors the WR. Asante stayed with him at first but give DeSean enough time and he will break away with his speed.
On a side story about training camp... I try to go to camp at least once or twice per year. I've never been fortunate enough to get a ticket for the autograph tent. This was my third time at training camp this year and I finally got a winning ticket. Not only that but I was lucky enough to be one of the few that got a ticket for the DeSean line. Not only that but I was wearing my brand new authentic DeSean Jackson jersey for the first time ever. So I got it signed, great day.

Donny Moore rated Alex Henery backwards. He's incredibly accurate, with a moderately powerful leg. He can, and has, hit from beyond 50, but he's not nearly as accurate as he is from within 50. His KPW should be more like 87-90 and KAC should be a 94, or so.
God I hope more than speed matters in the game this year. Austin might not even make the roster.
Sent from RedskinNation.
Yeah dont worry. Since the Skins have good speed, EA will more than likely make slow, the vogue thing.
Austin look good, but he did last year as well. He should have been place on the field (last season) over Galloway. I like Paul Niles, the guy is built like a TE and will catch and run.
Kelley will be gone. he vant stay of IR.
Hightower need to be bumped to atleast a 91. You dont get 4.5 yards a carry with a porus line and be rated in the eyes of Donny Moore with 84 speed. I just dont get it.

Congrats.
I remember the good old days when you didn't need a ticket to get autographs though. Everyone just signed autographs on their way to the locker room. Except Jim McMahon. He would ride his motorcycle from the practice field into the locker room. I remember getting autographs from Reggie White, Randall Cunningham and Jerome Brown all in the same day as a kid. That was awesome.
