Re: If Chris Samuels does retire..?

I hate to see this to Samuels, but I won't be negative. There are several positives that could come about.

1) Heyer gets back at the position he was a starter at for Maryland
2) Big Mike isn't playing guard, but back at his natural position as well.
3) Dock's a solid LG, and didn't Heyer work out with them all in AZ?
4) Would like to see continuity with Rinehart in at RG, but he has a shoulder injury. We'll get to see a full game of Montgomery and see how well he can hold up.

I would be OK with us filling Samuels' spot with a OT, but for depth purposes only. I can't really see us getting to a winning season this year unfortunately, so 11 games with the Heyer/Williams experiment, at LT + RT respectively, will help "our extra set of eyes" Sherm Lewis make some judgement calls.

Excellent points.

Does anyone know how a Samuels retirement would effect our cap?

Re: If Chris Samuels does retire..?

Can we get Kendall and Runyan here?

Jesus!
How did we not see this coming? Cerrato should be fired for this alone.

If by "we" you mean the Redskins as an organization, that's the million dollar question.

But if you mean "we" at The Warpath, "we" did see this coming. That's a drum that's been beaten around these parts since before the '07 season.

Obviously, they don't listen to us.

Damn strait. I wanted Oher, Tits Maggie, Mack, Duke, and Loadholt. Just one or two of those guys, which we could've gottten, would've made a big difference right now.

I just wanted to say that Heyer is the worst left tackle I have ever seen. He sucks as a right tackle also.

Re: If Chris Samuels does retire..?

I liked the Orakpo pick, but now I'm starting to waver on whether that was the right way to go. If you're going to get Jarmon in the supplemental draft, and if you're going to play Orakpo at linebacker, and you have a defensive coordinator who thinks that quarterback sacks are overrated, then maybe they should have taken Oher.

Re: If Chris Samuels does retire..?

Thanks to Danny/Vinny's approach to team development, the Redskins are NOT an effective replacement for Chris Samuels away from having a good offensive line, much less a great one. Effective management recognizes that great teams start with the OL and DL, and that lines can only be build through drafting IN DEPTH. That's how the Giants, Patriots, and Broncos have been doing it.

The problem is long-term, and it starts with Snyder's ineptitude.

Re: If Chris Samuels does retire..?

so if he hangs it up (which i hope he does for the sake of his health)- we take a 14.4 (ish) mill cap hit right in his release, right? Does the NFL give you any injury relief? I know 2010 could be uncapped anyway, but I just want to know what we would be looking at cap wise.
