I say we just ride it out with what we have right now. And then act in the offseason. Short of acquiring a linebacker through free agency, I don't want us to add any defensive players, the focus should be entirely on offense-OL, RB, and possibly QB

I agree, It's certainly going to be a tremendous loss in the event Samuels can't return, but his future is more important than football.
Temporary fixes are not the answer. Pete Kendall and John Runyan have been mentioned, but there's a reason why Kendall is not here already, the man is 37yrs old and cannot practice due to his arthritic knees. John Runyan will want more than the Redskins are willing to pay, plus we don't know the physical condition of either guy at this stage of the season.
If Samuels' career is finished, we need to look to the draft the same way we got him ten yrs. ago, build the O-line with young men that have an extended future. He's been a great Redskin that has solidified the left side for a long time. It would be great if he could recover.
