Samuels is not the player we expected him to be, but he is still very good. He does not compare to Ogden now or Jacoby & Lachey from the past. However, he also plays one of the hardest positions in football to fill. So before you cast him aside you better know who you are lining up at LT next year. And switching Jansen to LT is not the answer. You don't take a guy who is great at RT and then just move him to LT and expect things to go smoothly.

I think most of the Redskins offensive problems are that these Redskins do not have the dominating offensive Line that Gibbs old teams had. Gibbs won in the past with decent QB's and RB's combined with dominating offensive line play. The best way to start building that O-Line is by having Jansen & Samuels in that line. This line needs time to meld together not another offseason of shuffling the deck in hopes of drawing out Ace's.
