Washington Redskins receiver James Thrash is considering whether to undergo surgery on his injured neck and attempt to play again this season or decline the surgery and retire from football. Multiple sources told The Washington Times that Thrash, who has missed all the club's offseason workouts because of the injury, might choose to quit football rather than have the operation to play a 13th season,...
Why is the news never more upsetting when your team cuts a player that you've respected, rooted for and, in sports terms, loved for over a decade? The release of Jon Jansen should have been a sad sports moment for D.C., instead it barely made a ripple. Is that the cynicism of becoming a Redskins fan? The realities of fielding a team in the flawed salary cap era? Who knows. I wasn't a disappointed to...
Continuing the brother theme , I recently came across the story and statistics for Lawrence Samuels, the older brother of 6-time Pro-Bowler, Chris Samuels. With all the debate the last several years involving the Redskins need for a tall WR to compliment Santana, it amazes me that one of the core Redskins' kin has been overlooked the last decade. Lawrence, 'Law Dogg,' Samuels, who was born in 1970,...
CURRENT SELECTION Andre Smith Alabama Offensive Tackle ANALYSIS: The Washington Redskins offensive line was bad (38 sacks allowed) and old (LT Chris Samuels was their youngest starting O-Lineman at 31) last year. While a linebacker such as Brian Cushing of USC will be looked at here in order to replace the aging London Fletcher, the line is a much bigger concern. Simply put, the right side of the Redskins...

Jammal Brown Headed to Pro Bowl New Orleans Saints starting left tackle Jammal Brown has been named to the 2009 NFC Pro Bowl squad. Brown, who was an alternate selection in the Pro Bowl balloting, is slated to replace Washington Redskins left tackle Chris Samuels, who will miss the game due to an injury.
This could’ve been worse, but, as it is, the Skins are sending four players to the Pro Bowl: Mike Sellers, Chris Cooley, Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels. That’s four offensive players from a team that’s averaging 16.5 points per game. Seems absurd on the surface, but when you look at it by position it’s not [...]
OVERVIEW: I actually think the right people got in this year, for the most part. I have virtually no problem with the offensive line selections, except I'd have given the nod to Jon Runyan over Chris Samuels.... barely. Most selections were cut and dry. Witten and Cooley were no brainers. Brees and Warner were no-brainers. Peterson and Turner were locks (1st and second in rushing yards and 9 and 15...
Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels was placed on injured reserve Tuesday as the Washington Redskins made a slew of moves following an injury-filled loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Updates of the news and new media news and blogging variety all carry the same ominous update: After getting hammered all night by Terrell Suggs and the Baltimore Ravens defense, Washington Redskins Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels tore his right tricep muscle at the start of the fourth quarter of last night's loss, he will have surgery as soon as possible and he is done for the season. Let's try...
