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.
