Pancakes are overrated anyway, because there's also a chance that the blocker will be taken out of the play as well.

Outstanding point. It's not unusual to see Samuels handle his man, then get to the next tier to make a 2nd block on a play. I've never understood fans that get down on him. Would those haters prefer that we had drafted Peter Warrick with the 3rd overall selection that we used to get Samuels?
