Chris Samuels about to Retire

I definitely think Chris has been one of the more underappreciated Skins over the past decade.

He's been a warrior for us, that's for sure.

I think LT is probably the most important position on the offense. The fact we never had to worry about it is something pretty special with Chris. No LT ever gives 100% protection on every play- they're usually facing the D's best lineman. But Chris was one of the best in the league. It's going to be interesting to see how this position is going to be filled going forward.

Soo the final piece has fallen, the last brick or wall that we had or the last REDSKIN we had is now gone. SNYDER IS AN ASS. Thanks for the O-LINE, good thing you bought a d-linemen for 100000000. Stupid F---.

As weird as this sounds, the Thomas and Samuels career ending injuries are blessing in that it woke up the team and management about the real needs of this team. This was the biggest fear going into the season and yet nothing was done about it and then it did happen. Things happen for a reason.

Yep, time to rebuild. He was a great, great player.

Yes, because Snyder is in charge of player acquisitions. Someone listens to a bit too much 106.7 -- Snyder hate radio. God I need to get my Sirius in my new car ASAP so I can stop listening to those 2nd rate "sports experts."

Sad day, we lost the one constant that we have had on the team for the past decade. Now we definately draft a OT in the 1st.

Great player and he will be missed. Hard to replace a Chris Samuels.
Ranks as third best all time LT for Skins behind Jacoby and Lachey,
Jacoby and Lachey were better run blockers than Samuels.
Still Samuels is an incredible player.
Skins got caught with their pants down with player personnel moves, in particular the O-Line. I hope DS makes the right move to get rid of Cerrato.

Let me guess...this is Snyder's fault to that CS is out the rest of the season, and a educated guess would be he will retire?

As most know we need a solid O-Line, and the org. has turned there back on this aging group. Would you agree the primary function of the GM and Coaching Staff is to point out these areas of weakness and have them addressed.

On a side note, I certainly hope Levi can step up and play at a high level, right away.

This season just can't get any worse... can it?

Big props and a bigger thank you to #60 for his service.
