When I read "neck injury" I had the same thought - he's done. He's got a few years left in him otherwise, but that injury doesn't sound like something to play with.

Great Redskin, great citizen, probably our player of the decade.

A true professional. Samuels may have been one of the more underappreciated Redskins, but wait to see how ugly our O-line play becomes - this offense is doomed to 6 to 10 points per game without him. If this is it, thanks Chris for a great career - you were a "True Redskin" and would have fit in well with the champions of Gibbs 1.0.

Well said...Samuels deserves his props and I really don't think he should risk any serious longterm injury by playing longer. That said, I'll be surprised if we win 4 games all season w/o him in the lineup, assuming lil Danny is too proud to go out and sign more OL talent. I think it's a 4-12 or maybe 5-11 season.

I think it's 7 or 8 wins still, not that it makes a difference. The offense isn't quite as inept as 2004, but it's reaching those levels. We won 5 games in 2006, and this defense, maligned as it is, is a lot better at every level than the 2006 defense.

By the end of the year, I think our offense will be closer to levels we have come to previously expect than the disaster of 2004. And consequently, I don't think this team is quite as bad as either 2004 or 2006. But the final product will be below average.

It's worth noting that we lost to Carolina because of two major special teams f-ups and overall we're probably between the 20th and 23rd best teams in the league. Not awful, but a significant step back from the mediocrity of the last two seasons.

Im sure DS will spend alot of money next year for a player that is not a lineman.

Time to sign Marcus McNeil!

We're going to need a bigger truck.

I won't be surprised if we lay a goose egg this week. W/O Samuels the offense good only muster a field goal and Lord have mercy the Chiefs are gonna come out swingin to get their first win against a team that loves to oblige!

So who did Levi Jones kill that our team is unwilling to even look at him now that our old starting LT is out with an injury? Or any team for that matter.

So we go out and re-sign Renaldo Wynn. What a meaningless move. We are void of quality depth on the O-line, our best O-lineman goes down, and we bring back a D-lineman???

Look if you can't see the logic in a brilliant move like that then there's nothing I can do to help you.
