Chris Samuels about to Retire

warpaint · 10-23-2009, 06:23 PM

I just heard Chris Samuels is going to retire. Can anyone confirm what is being said locally.

If so, we are really going to need some help with bringing in good talent for the our O-Line. Lets just hope we get Chris Samuels type talent.

Samuels definitely will be on our 100th anniversary team of all-time Redskin greats. A True Redskin indeed.

Hadn't heard anything official. Just that it is being "strongly encouraged" by some medical professionals

That's really a shame, Chris has been an anchor for this team for years. He will be missed greatly. I'm glad he's getting out before any sort of life threatening injury takes place. Good luck in the future!

Damn that sucks. Can't blame the guy for putting health first though.

Hog1 · 10-23-2009, 06:35 PM

I thought he would as I heard the neck injury was potentially....serious. He WILL be missed on and off the field. It will help expedite the...mandatory overhaul of the O-line.

Heard that too today. Wish it was not true but it sounds like it may be. He has been a True Redskin.

Who likes to "hate on" Chris Samuels? I can honestly say that I don't remember a single person (on this website anyway) who doesn't appreciate what he's given us.

I've been guilty of taking him for granted

Which is actually a testament to his talents and abilities as a player. To be able to go ten seasons without having to worry about the left tackle position is a luxury few fans have.

There's been plenty of folks who think he's either overrated or over the hill the past couple of years. You know, the usual crowd that's always a little quick on the trigger to write a player off as finished? I think we're all guilty of that from time to time.

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---.

Daseal · 10-23-2009, 08:44 PM

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."

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.
