skinsfan93 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 This thread is somewhat reactionary to the beating that we just took, but it also is about the opinion that I have never thought of Samuels as a top-tier LT. Given the amount of money he is making, he is not even close to being a top 5 LT in this league. Why is that in 2 games this year, he has turned 2 defenders into Pro-Bowl players? In K.C., the d lineman becomes player of the week and this week, Usemori(?) should be this week's defensive player of the week. Left tackles are supposed to be your best lineman. He always looks slow against the speed rushers and then not strong enough against the big DE. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 That this thread should be merged with the other hate Samuels thread at bottom of first page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoach22 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 He is bad. You said it. (But you know he never gave-up a sack in college). LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OaktonSkins/BushFan Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Never one to miss an opportunity to bash Samuels, I just want to jump right in and say I couldn't agree more. Overpaid. Overrated. And a real vulnerability for this team as long as he's active, as long as we have him on the payroll. Check out the other threads as well.

BraveWarrior Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 They should give Samuels a matador's costume. He's pathetic. LT is a position to be addressed in the offseason. His inconsistent play should not be allowed to hurt our team for another season. And why the Hell is Ray Brown the only backup for every line spot besides center? :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 It wasn't just Samuels. Ray Brown got used, as did the rest of the OL. The Gianst DL was pumpe4d, and just over matched the Skins today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenster95 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I don't quite get the hate for Samuels. That KC lineman admitted that he got the best of us by picking up Brunell's count from film they'd seen that week. As for Samuels performance today, yeah, it wasn't great, but how do you think we got going on offense this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Samuels is a good, not great LT that benefited from a stellar college career then being in the right place at the right time when we needed salary cap space. He's not awful but we could be worse off. That much became obvious when Ray Brown came into the game and got literally run over on his first play. Samuels may not be great but we'd better hope and pray he's able to come back ASAP. I was wondering why Brown was backing up Samuels but the announcers pointed out that Molinaro was inactive this week. I'd bet he's active next week whether Samuels is able to play or not.

authentic Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 i wonder how much it would hit our cap if we trade him for a draft pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
