I know Samuels is getting old, and he's getting old pretty fast. He was out a lot last year, but there are two things I'd like to bring up that make me feel OK with the LT position.

I know there's not a solid backup at this point, but 1)Samuels did a rigorous off-season workout plan with some of the other linemen, lost some weight, and has stayed healthy this preseason. 2) I liked Pete Kendall and he seemed like a stand-up guy. But Samuels now has Dock next to him, and Dock's a good upgrade over Kendall. Samuels n Dock had some great chemistry during Dock's first stint,and it might take a little bit of pressure off Samuels with the better guard nex to him.

Just a thought.
