Samuels I think has been hurt most of the season, certainly wasn't a pro-bowl one.
My sentiments exactly. Or frame it another way. How does an offense with a Pro Bowl RB (he deserved it). Pro Bowl tight end and (he deserved it). Pro Bowl full back and (he deserved it). Pro Bowl tackle and (he deserves it every year that's how good he is). Yet our offense stalls. It is the scheme. It is the blocking schemes. It is this WCO philosophy with Joe Gibbs players. I believe you acquire the best players you can and then adjust your scheme. Come up with ideas that use the skills of your players to win games. All players are unique in ability. Grab a good player when you can because you can't predict the future. Players drafted for specific needs are not guaranteed to be good. Sucessful people take what they have to get what they want, a ring. Or like Republicans Neo Cons say "bloom where you're planted". I am sure Zorn can relate to my previous sentence.
