A few weeks ago, we ran a running play to the left side and Samuels blocked his guy and basically stopped in the middle of the gap, Betts ran straight into him. Those are the types of plays we see too often from him, He never finishes a play. for a guy his size and with his talent, he needs to be more physical.
I really really hate him, but he is having a probowl caliber year. Hopefully he can keep up the good work and work on his aggression.

That is a comment from somebody who clearly doesn't understand the difficulty of playing left tackle against premier pass rushers without TE support. During some of the years that Samuels struggled (particularly under Spurrier), he battled injuries while the Skins were definitely a pass first offense. Aside from Walter Jones, and maybe Orlando Pace, show me a better LT in the NFC over the past 3 years. We are extremely fortunate to have Samuels.
