If Chris Samuels does retire..?

What a shitty year for skins fans!! I wish it was April already

:laughing2 Would it really surprise anyone?


wouldnt suprise me, thats what they did last time......

The O Line is not important, if you don't believe me just ask danny and vinnie

While I love Chris Samuels and wish him nothing but the best (especially with his health in this case), maybe this is the kind of thing that needed to happen to see sweeping changes. The offensive line has totally come apart (Stephon Heyer at LT?? Mike Williams? Really?), and that falls squarely on Cerrato. He did nothing to bolster the O-line in the offseason, and it has blown up in his face. Gotta wonder how long he's going to keep getting a pass. He's getting ripped by players, the media, and the fans for his repeated blunders.

I know things were bad at the end of the brief Spurrier era, but I don't ever remember such loud cries for changes to our overall organizational structure since Danny bought the team.

I hope Samuels retires with his health intact. He has been a great Skin since day one and I would like to see him go out that way.

I know we've had a poll on this issue, but in terms of his position, he is certainly one of the top 3 left tackles to every play for us. (Jacoby/Lachey as 1-2 and Samuels as 3 easily).

Thanks for the years of excellent play. Retire in good health.

F' you front office for not having his replacement in the wings.

For me, it's been April ever since we lost to the lions. I wish Samuels all the best, and really hope this isn't career threatening, but from what I've heard, it is. He's one of the greatest redskin lineman of all time, and I wish him the best if it is farewell. If we put him on IR or Retired list, we need to get either Levi Jones or John Runyan, let them play the year out, then have our first pick be a Tackle.

We certainly should not be spending any draft picks to acquire someone.

While you say that, i think theres a pretty good chance vinny is on the line with San Diego offering our first and 2nd round picks in next years draft for Merriman and LT.

Joe, good post. exactly how i feel. year after year, the skins trot these old guys out there, seemingly with no plan if someone gets injured. i guess now this kind of forces their hand. and just say no to Runyan. let some of the younger guys play. we have to find out as a team if any of them can play in this league. does anyone really know if Rinehart is NFL quality? and this is his 3rd season?

2nd season, he was a rook last year

If he retires I will wish him the best, and remember him and Jansen as one of the best duo's we've had. It's a shame neither was able to hold the Lombardi up once. :(
