Samuels Done for the Year

I dissagree chris is the anchor of the line and can shut down the leagues best rushers

Sorry....not going to convince me. I've watched him closely since we got him. Came out of the gate strong but since signing him in 2005 to the ridiculous amount of $47 million +$16 million signing bonus he has been mediocre at best in his position.

I have jokingly said similar things about Samuels, but he is top five OL in NFL period. Left tackle is the most important person on team, except for QB. They face the best pass rusher on every team every play, the best are going to get beat, at times. Samuels gettig hurt, effectively ends our season, that is how good he is.

^^^ right now id take a "mediocre at best" samuels over any of our replacement options.

Here's the good news: San Francisco and Cincinnati have absolutely no semblance of a pass rush whatsoever.

But Philadelphia does. And that's the game we would need to win the most to make the playoffs.

just curious , any word on Devin Thomas? didnt he go down with a leg injury of some kind? just wondering cuz i havent heard anything on it yet

You are one hell of an optimist.

How about being done for good. I never liked him and think he's an over rated waste of $
If you look back over the last few seasons and were able to review the film on all the times our QB's were rushed or sacked. His ass would be to blame for a HUGE percentage of them.

So Samuels isn't allowed to get beat at all? Give me a break. He's been a top LT in the NFL for a long time. Yes he gets beat just like every LT does. Pass rushers are going to win too.

I saw him come back in the game, after the injury.

Can't argue with you there.

Just saying it couldn't hurt to look at letting him go next season to free up some of the $$$ he's into us for. But who could/would be available to replace him?
