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.

I've actually played a little LT back in the day( HS Level
).
He is a good passblocker and I did say that he IS have a probowl year.
3rd best tackle in the NFC? Sure, But I wouldn't put him in the class of Walter Jones or Pace( when healthy).
What bothers me about samuels is he never finishes off blocks. He never pancakes defenders. He is as talented as any tackle thats ever played the game but he lacks the aggression to be considered one of the best.
A great tackle to me is a player who is a great pass blocker and road grader type run blocker. Samuels is not a great run blocker in my opinion.
But he could if he learned to play mad!
