Tom Brady sitting back watching this with a big ass grin 😂😂😂
When you're a humble guy like Brady it's nice to have a friend or former teammate speak well on you.
This is Brandon best episode ever . He didn’t interrupt not one time lol. I’m truly proud
He knew Asante wasn’t playing no games
Facts
@@reeldeal2149 its that freshman senior respect.
Man's was just chillin off the drank
Yea because shady does that now. It’s like damn shady shut up ..”wait Yal, this get good”.... “tell em the story... come on tell em!”
Not gonna lie Asante need his own podcast 😂this guy is hilarious
He should be a regular on this show
I would tune in. Always been a fan of Asante, it’s cool to hear stories from one of the best 👌🏾
He seem like the coolest dude in the world
He reminds me of Ocho times 10 lol
Agreed
Asante was one of the first corners I ever knew by name when I first started following football at like 8 years old. Definitely one of the greats of his era
Sameeee everytime i played madden I would trade whoever I needed to for him lol
Him and Ty Law
Same here
same here as well
Great career probably HOF if he caught that ball in superbowl
Asante was a dawg on the field.
Straight up dog!
Stayed getting beat
He couldn’t tackle lo
Assante was that dude. Smart as hell. Best route jumping corner I've ever seen. He gambled, but mostly won. HOF corner IMO. He was easily one of the best of his era.
The dude jus knew how to end up with the dam ball 🏈, hated him most of his career being a Giants fan but I respect hella a player hof imo
Yeah he was very skillful at his position
I tell everyone trevon diggs ain’t a lockdown corner he like Asante Samuel he gambles for picks . Used to love watching him in NE
@@mikegamez5690 he need to learn lil more football cause he get beat on easy things that shut down lock Samuel would never get caught up
@@mikegamez5690 I think the difference is Asante became lockdown and then learned to gamble. Diggs needs to learn to pick his spots. He tries to hard to bait a qb in picks and thats what gets him burnt.
i am former DB and this is one of the best football interview ive ever listened to. Asante view on the game from his experiences is insightful
No being that I know Brandon Marshall and Asante this is Deep! & Greatly Appreciated 🔥
Word💯👀
the way Asante broke down his case for Brady and why he didn’t travel…this man is special he truly knows ball on a nex level
Pacman’s progression as a host is immaculate!
Frfr 💯
Got the leg cross down and everything 😂😂😂✊🏾
Ong 💯
Pac need to be replaced i don’t fuck with his vibe
Well said pac 's evolution is great to see he's a good brother for what he does for Chris Henry's family
Samuel is a Hall of famer hands down
No he ain’t
Agreed.
@@ChuchuJS why not?
He drop the interception that would’ve won the SB
@@ChuchuJS you can't make a statement like that and not elaborate my guy
50 INTS! 50 INTS! PUT THIS MAN IN THE HALL OF FAME 🙏🏿💯💎🏈
In no more than 10 years at that
easily. One of the best!
53!
2 Super Bowls 1st ballot
Lost the perfect season in 2007 because of him....hall of famers are the guys that make those plays ..not let a game ending interception in the super bowl go right between his hands ...had a good career ...but there's a reason he's not in the hall
being from Broward county, Asante Samuel always been my fav player.. Florida boy all the way
Can we get Asante Samuel in some form of media. This guy is electric
Facts
Facttttsss
I like him but he doesn’t communicate well enough. I hate Brandon Marshall but watch a minute of each one explaining something and Brandon is 10x more marketable for that type of role.
The audience spans many ages with many backgrounds so being able to communicate clearly so the most people can understand is the most important.
@@CarlosMartinez-pn2mx What do you mean you can't understand Asante?? I mean I understand he talks with a heavy southern slang . I understand him he just don't talk or communicate like if you would be employed by ESPN lol. You know how they want you to be lol
@@CarlosMartinez-pn2mx bullshit
Seeing how small he is and remembering how dominant he was, speaks to his greatness.
Lots of corners like that. We just run
@@aheazzy28 it’s not lots of corners that are thatt good that are that small stop it😂
It’s alot of small corners yes. Not of his caliber tho
Didn’t realize he was that small or has he just lost a lot of weight?
@@cdwalker15 he was never big always 175 he a dawg on the field thou
As an eagles fan, Asante was an amazing corner… dude was deadly in flat, just had a crazy iq and could always jump the pass… loved him in Philly
Asante Def was one of the best ball hawks in nfl history. Sometime you see players talk and you think “dude your not even that good to talk like that” Well Asante def was good enough to talk all this shit he was one of the best corners in the league most of his career INT specialist 💯
I'm convinced Samuels is one of those super high IQ people that people just underestimate because he doesn't speak conventional language. Very good reasoning and common sense. Man the sports media really did these athletes dirty back in the day
Your IQ is lacking if you got that assessment from this interview
@@tacotom3492 You on every sports video about blacks trolling. Get a life
Lose some weight and perhaps u will think clearer
@@earllewis1229 then u must be too Earl, get a life LMFAO
@@tommydavidwalker2445 Who puts their government name on social media. All loud, wrong & GOOFY! You a real live 🤡
Asante definitely was one of the most UNDERRATED DB in his era and should be in the HOF
Why
@@deangelowebber4269 why should he be in the HOF? Check the stats and the tape
@@Mr.CanMan3 The real ones know 💯 4 Straght Pro Bowls 2 Ap.. Multiple Game winning TD’s.. Left New England & was even better on my Birds
@@bcfwop215 Trust me I know, As a Steelers Fan but grew up in Philly and seeing him all day.
Asante said he don’t watch film or lift weights. But he knows the game. Knows tendencies, he knows schemes and which routes are run in certain situations. Don’t think you can do what he do and be great. Greatness comes before the weight room
Tht explains why he didnt last anyman tht says they didnt watch film or weights let me knw tht he wasnt great cuz prime watched film and thus it showed tht prime was way better
Corners the least weight lifting out the 22 on the field so it’s no surprise
"I'm the last one to come and first one to leave." LOL...this was the most entertaining episode since Shady's first appearance.
Asante killed it in New England, Philly, and for a year in Atlanta.
I remember Asante in when he came to Philly, he was good, but he was always known as the corner that didn't tackle lol
@@duduman05 same in the A.
He still was hilarious tho
Revis better lol
No corner got picks like Samuel ,no corner , he didn't tackle and sometimes fell for pump fakes
@@vernyates580 show us the film where he bit on a double move though? Name the game? Like he says that’s media driven as opposed to fact driven.
As an Eagles fan seeing Shady and Sante together is overwhelming. Shoutout to dem boyz 💯
I wished we Won with them too man. At least B Dawk got one.
we should've won in this era fr
On behalf of Cowboy fans everywhere. You can’t be an eagle fans and refer to eagles past or present as “Dem Boyz”.
Maan frfr!
@@kkiwanuka 💯
Asante, Deion, Revis, and Champ need to do a special edition of I Am athlete with Ocho as the host!
That would be the funniest shit ever😂😂😂😂
Revis wouldn't fit in.
Yeh not Revis, lmao, Sante said it best man the media brainwashed folk making Revis seem like that for a season or 2.
Replace Revis with Charles fuccin Woodson and now you have a HOF tier interview. Personalities!!!!!
@@DallasSliccRevis was great from 08-15. That 09 season was historic but let’s cut it out 2010 he made the all pro without any interceptions
Charles Woodson was a better footballer than all of them….. started in the pro bowl longest career and ended in the Pro Bowl
This is my favorite interview they've done yet! I always respected Asante Samuels' skills but after seeing this interview, I respect him even more. Someone get this man a podcast!
Personalities like PacMan and Shady is why this show is still going strong. Asante is a hell of a guy
Shady is annoying for a platform where you bring people on to talk about themselves it’s like he’s trying to make it about him
Bruh Brandon Marshall coolest guy ever. Love his hot takes
Shady is a good addition not pac, replace pac with nick young
Naw I still got love for shady no matter what crazy work
@@rickyr3883 you called that nick young shit tho
“I’m out here tryna sell my tickets, this is supposed to be an experience” Asante Samuel is funny asf for that.
😂😂😂 when i heard him say that
Asante had incredible peripheral vision, which allowed him to get so many ints. Asante would line up while looking at the qb & wr, then jump the route for the pick.
Asante is by far my favorite guest yet - and I've seen just about every episode.
Assante was really him . Love that he didn’t fold and stayed true to himself. Players like him and ocho the reason I played football
Asante Samuel is a legend. He funny too 🤣 😂 😆
Gotta say, this is probably my favorite episode from a pure entertainment standpoint. Love the CB debates at the end.
Best IAA episode ever. This dude dropped some crazy knowledge.
I wish Chad Johnson was there man it was so of a great interview, would love to here stories between Chad and Asante when the Bengals vs patriots back then ...but still overall great great interview love seeing my child hood players tell there stories
Asante locking down Chad.. Chad would deny it ..lol
I agree my man. Maybe my favorite WR /DB matchup to watch ever growing up.
First thing that popped in my head
The part when asante said he picked rex grossman 3 times, i literally just seen the video and it’s exactly how he described 🤣🤣🤣🤣
*I just saw not seen
@@frugalfreddy81 Man idgaf about english class gtfo
@@steveowatts Black people smdh
@@steveowatts 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Didn't need to see the video I vividly remember it 🤣 I'm a native Chicago and die hard Bears fan I cried laughing when Rex threw the second int and Sante took off for Belichek
One of the best episodes with this cast! Shady, Pac and DJ...are starting to show chemistry with Brandon!
I need Asante Samuel to be be part of show fellas … his energy is special … can imagine him and Chad debating on the show …. It’s gonna be nice and sweet my son… love this episode …
I’m going to need a PT.2. This was dope
Hell Yeah
Samuel's brought alot on energy
Yesss
Facts
this that locker room talk we been missing finally back to what made this show so great
Asante remind me so much of myself. Ain’t taking nothing from nobody no matter who you are. We KNOW our worth. You ain’t gon play with us or our money. Respect go longer than any thing in this world. Come with respect and everything smooth. Come incorrect you gon hate us fasho
Asante Samuel and Antoine Winfield are my favorite undersized corners ever. They play way bigger than their actual size and are fearless
Asante was legit and we don’t speak 🗣 about him enough he was a DAWG 🔥🏈
Asante was one of the best cover corners of his era !!! No one played cover 2 better than him, he WILL jump the route & take one back to the house✌🏽 10 int returns for TDs 4 of those in the playoffs.
Ronde Barber was the cover 2 guy. He was a much better open field tackler as well.
@@cperkins5050 yes there was several good CBs I’m not here to debate. Don’t @me
@@paperchasentx4162 ppl stay making stuff a debate. Just give flowers and keep it moving sometimes lol. But I love to debate though but like you said he one of the best
Nah ronde barber then asante samuel
@@nenola504 Dokay…??? 👍🏽 yaw 🥴
Dark horse for best episode right here😂😂
You can tell Asante would definitely be a big time criminal if it wasn’t ball😂😂I met a few guys just like him up the road
Same thing I thought
Wow!!!!!! I did not expect this to be this GREAT. This might be my favorite episode. Top 3 for sure.
Need a pt 2 for Asante. That man have STORIES!!!!!
This was best one EVER LOVE THIS GUY HE WAS A BEAST ON THE FIELD
I’m even more impressed to see how slight built Azanti is. He made really big hits on huge guys, plus he says he didn’t even lift weights. That’s insane
Asante Samuel BROUGHT IT!! He had me cracking up and also nodding my head when he made his case for why the Pats dynasty is first and foremost a product of Tom Brady's greatness. Awesome stuff!
I didn’t know Asante had so much personality that’s why I love this podcast athletes get to relax and be who they really are keep up the good work fellas 💪🏾
I've watched almost all of the "I Am Athlete" episodes, and this one was the best by far. Asante dropped enough knowledge for me to get a pick 6. WHOOOO!!!!!!
Had no idea he had this personality. Grew up watching him
Bro dude was cold af! He in my top 3 DB’s. Asante was the smallest person on the field and balling out. Plus he had gold teeth at the time and I was a teen with gold teeth. You couldn’t get nothing on him and he played 7-10 yards off the line of scrimmage and you would think a quick curl route would get him but that shit would get picked off. Dude the goat!
Wasn’t such a great tackler
@@gizoesportsradio2987 deon wasn’t either but he is a glorified corner just like a lot others.
Still can't believe he dropped 19-0
Asante is from Broward and is a product of his environment. He is a hero, family man, and beat a lot of odds! A leader and very honest. His numbers are up there 👆 Top 5! But just like the world politics hold real individuals back! He is the TO of defense that the hall of fame will try to keep out. He is outspoken and stands for what he believes in! Broward County loves Asante! I do Much respect and love! Biggest takeaway! What your eyes tell you
Already. Ain’t he go to school at Boyd Anderson in Lauderdale Lakes?
@@gatman18 yes he was a Quarterback in high school
@@gatman18 yes BA Cobras
@@MrBlackn954 no
Homie he played quarterback his whole life till his senior year at BA. I played on the team. He only played DB ONE IN HIGH SCHOOL 🤦🏿♂️ that’s my homie
My favorite cb I remember meeting him off the field n down to earth athlete for sure. I had a sharpie and a football 🏈 that I had got the night b 4 cause I knew we were going to meet him cause he was picking up a vehicle from my boss which was a Toyota Tundra that he got as a rental from our Delaership Ford in MA Rt.1 near the mall don’t know if he would remember this. I sure did still have the ball in my collection till this day!!!! He also gave us player tickets to the playoff game against the Jags that yr one of many game we got to watch it was one of many good games we got to watch !!!!🎉😢🎉🎉🎉🎉 Samuels you def in the books as A ++++++ CB.
Asante Samuel is a class act. Great character and great corner. More people should be like Asante!
As a person who does not even watch football like that...I need Asante Samuels back on this show!!! Hands down my fav interview of I.A.M.👍🏾
If u not a football fan , why u watch this show then? I'm confused as to what draws you to a show that is about football but u dnt watch football, you don't understand none of these convos , dnt Kno none of the people either probably,how u understand what's going on ?
@@vernyates580 I feel u on this
@@vernyates580 u gotta know ur football to watch this shit 💯
Great episode! Samuel was definitely cold in his playing days but I wish more people knew about his football IQ. Dude definitely knows the ins and outs of the game and love his energy….
Definitely I love sant he a Dogg plus on that football field and he stay Tru to himself 1000%
Facts 💯 on GOD 👍🏾
He son nice too
Asante was Him Easy 1st ballot Hof in real LYFEE
this was so real and one of the best football conversations I've ever heard. win one with out brady,not gunna happen
This show is evolving in the right direction,Big respect
This was freak dope i wanted to name my son after Asante Samuel when he was in philly but my son passed away at birth so this episode meant alot to me
R.I.P to your son Asante is an West African🇬🇭 Name 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Damn rIp man
@@Juntao1989 thanks god always has a plan
❤️
@@azitsallgood2514 yh he was born in Ghana but raised in Florida
It’s wild because Bill did Malcom Butler like that too in the Super Bowl and didn’t play him for no apparent reason at all and he has been the starter for the season
Shady so damn sarcastic it’s funny asl😭🤣🤣my guy💯🤣
Could listen to Asante all day. This guy need his own podcast.
Samuel one of my all time favorites when I was young growing up in Massachusetts. Absolute legend right here put that man in the HoF and give him his dues.
I don’t watch film, i don’t lift weights and i’m the last one to get there n the first one to leave🤣 bruh nearly killed me wen he said that 😂😂😂😂🐐
🤣🤣🤣
Bruh he funny as hell lmaooo and sliding to sideline with the trainers when it was time to hit took me out 😂💀
Asante Samuels is so transparent! I enjoyed this interview like no other! His insight and intelligence are very entertaining! Hopefully I can some highlights after this!
The Fact that Pac-Man is looking at somebody like they crazy LYK Shank Is really crazy 😂😂😂 That was my fuckn Dawg growing up 🦅🦅🦅 Him & Lito made me fall in love with DB play
I can't remember who the Patriots were playing but I'll never forget Asante Samuel running towards the quarterback as if he was coming on a corner blitz, only to drop back in his back pedal and the quarterback threw it straight to him, man they showed it slow motion one of the best plays ever, been doing it in Madden ever since. 😄😄
People fall for that shit every time on madden lol. Play with the slot corner act like you're blitzing then float somewhere 10 yards back right before the snap. Slant/post They're gonna throw it right to you more times than not lol
Great interview. Brandon I see the maturity and the growth while keeping the show interesting. Good stuff. Asante Samuels should be in the Hall of Fame. No question.
Hands down one of the best interviews about the game and life stories!
It's crazy I got to see him play now his son is in the league. Asante, champ, Charles Woodson were my favorite corners besides prime
Asante was two seconds from trying to rewrite history with his Champ take. Glad they slowed him down
Facts champ my fav DB and Samuel too
As a Pats fan, this shit golden and Sante one of my favorite Pats 🤟🏽💪🏽
Asante def one of the best. This man needs to be in the Hall. Sucks a lot of great Patriots players on defense during that first dynasty get lumped into being “system” guys. One of my favorite corners of all time.
I’m proud of that brother. Boyd Anderson’s finest. S/O to Zante.
L's 🆙! 🐍
B.A!!!!
Lauderdale baby
Broward’s Finest
Asante needs his own show period. It doesn’t matter what the subject- I want to hear!
facts!
I have always and will always admire Asante Samuel’s incredible NFL career. As a Giant’s fan, I’m also thankful he missed that INT in Super Bowl 47 (Pats - Giants)
Asante Sr. gotta come back. This interview was gold.
Asante Samuel is one of the most intelligent players ever! Listening to how he understood the possibilities of routes and concepts is impressive. Probably wouldn’t be a good coach because what he has is GOD given, but he definitely is the truth!
Can you believe his son is in the league now
@@diegomagellan I swear I had to double check when I saw his son. I was like "I know Asante isn't old enough for a son in the league yet". I guess he started early lol
@@diegomagellan if he can duplicate his dad’s instincts, the Chargers just may have a gift.
@@jalenad11 😂
Asante on another level. Hard to argue with one who actually did it.
The best I am athlete interview thus far! Assante Samuel was a straight G that doesn’t get the hall of fame respect!
Asante Samuel is one of my all time favorites and this podcast further shows that it is a crime that he's not in the hall of fame
Can't be a truly great player without a great mind. Asante is one of the ones!
This was honestly one of the best interviews on IAA. Asante was that dude and he kept it ultra real on the Belichick subject. Without Brady, Bill doesn’t have that run.
Without that defense, Brady wouldn't have that many rings, like why we always discredit the defense?
@@dougiedoug8994 before Brady became the starter, that defense wasn't winning games with bill and bledsoe starting
without Bill, Brady would have been an average QB just like he was in college
@@urbanflavorz I want say Brady was average. I say every time Michigan tried to bench Brady for a player they thought was better, Brady ended up taking his job back
@@dougiedoug8994 what games was u watching he save that defense so many times u a Brady hater I watch this from college to he got the starting job in New England defense was give up 20 plus points
Asante Energy is at the right level not too high and damn show not low....✊🏾💪🏽🏈
As a Giants fan I remember watching this dude and being dead scared of seeing him in the Eagles secondary. Deadly. So nice to the man inside the helmet.
When he broke down why Nnamdi was overrated it really blew my mind that it was that plain and simple though it never really cross my mind or never bought up by anyone as to why he struggled with the Eagles.
Nmandi was dominant on the Raiders. Dude gave up like 47% completion percentage for 4 years in a row in man to man coverage. Asante couldn’t have did that.
@@cperkins5050 It was even more dominate then that. 2007-2010 pass thrown his way and completions 2007 31 passes 10 completions, 2008 27 passes 8 completions, 2009 27 passes 13 completion and 2010 27 passes 10 completions. He went 4 years with less then 2 passes a game thrown against him. And less then a completion a game against him. He is as a beast in man coverage and took the qbs blind side of the field away. I was just enter college as a KC chiefs die hard fan. And those stats match my memory of his man to man skills. His down fall was going to Philly and playing zone. Philly wanted to let him match wr instead of treating him like a LT or RT as a CB. He knew every blade of grass a a rcb and every move or angle a wr could make from that side of the field. Raiders team d pass yards a game 2007 261 yards per game, 2008 266, 2009 259 and 2010 249. The rest of the d could zero in on everybody else
Asomugha was an elite bump and run man cover CB in Oakland playing off zone in Philly. It’s not like Asante didn’t also get burned constantly except he was a ballhawk. Andy Reid also made his Oline coach Juan Castillo his DC and he
didn't know wtf he was doing
I think he’s a little biased towards Nnamdi there’s definitely something personal there. I think nnamdi was just a scheme corner As long as you played to his strengths and specific coverage styles he was good he went to Philly and they tried to get him to play off man and zone.
@@korypeoples3497 yea you can tell he is still bitter about nnamdi coming to the birds
Love that Asante gives Tom his flowers. The coach ain’t throw a ball make a tackle or nun
Imma Eagles fan and Asante was one of the best players we ever had..
He was soo good at getting us the football and making huge plays that changed games.. We had a great playoff run one season and it was mainly him picking off Eli Manning, and Tavaris Jackson in big spots that fueled that playoff run
Guy was INVALUABLE out there for us
I really wonder what it's like to be as glowing and a magnet as tom is. I'll never know the man a day in my life but to see people that normal joes like me to the best of the best talk about someone with so much respect and glowing attitude makes me wonder what that it factor is. So awe inspiring.
Champ was one of the best CBs in NFL history. Top 3 all time. Asante was great for sure and was amazing in ATL and NE.
I know he's most famous for the interception he didn't get but, damn, he was bound to drop one at SOME point. From 2005-2010 Asante Samuel played 9 playoff games. He picked off 7 passes and took 4 to the house. He snatched 51 more regular season passes intended for the other team in his career and got into the end zone with 6 of them. Asante was a MONSTER. Why would you EVER throw an out route to his side of the field?
I couldn't have said it better💯💯💯💪🏾
Facts !!!! Dude was great
That once drop will always haunt me tho
Favorite corner in my 28 years of watching football
Of all the ints he could’ve dropped, it was the one that costed him a ring. He was a great corner but that’s all I’ll remember him for
I fucking love that y’all giving the OGs these interviews! Keep them coming PLEASE
This was really really dope we need more of this just like that don't switch up the format
Always loved Asante, one of my all-time favorite Eagles even though he came from the Patriots. The Vick era in Philly was just amazing if you really think about all the talent we had on those teams, the fact we didn’t win a SB is just disappointing. To think our secondary had Asante, Nnamdi, & DRC at one time is just crazy. Had Dawkins stayed in Philly for those last couple years instead of going to Denver who knows he might have gotten his ring in Philly where he belonged. Still happy Dawk got a ring though. Also being a sports card collecter it’s really sad that Asante hasn’t signed anything, like you can’t find any of his sports cards that are auto’d.
Dawkins unfortunately, doesn’t have a ring. He deserved one tho
Nnamdi wasn't used correctly imo
@@gregorydunston2952 Dawkins has a ring just not as a player though.
Asante is really entertaining. I look forward to seeing more from him in the future. Well done, gentlemen.
I really and truly need the basketball version of these discussions.
I was too young to give Asante his flowers as a young Pats fan. Shout out to him! Seems like a real chill dude 💯
