So Asante Samuel is a yapper this spring, talking good-natured trash to the offense, taking on a more vocal role with the defense. And although he started a bull session with reporters yesterday by saying, "I'm the same person I was last year, I'm not going to change," it is clear by both his account and others that there has at least been some offseason tweaking in that regard. You see it here on the field but really, you hear it, especially when the drills evolve into identifiable plays. Samuel is not the only defender filling the vocal void left by Brian Dawkins, Samuel has stood out more than the others.
