Once again; these writers are too nice, but I guess they have to hold out for scoops.  Or something; digressing again, sorry.<\/p>\n<p>So back to Samuel.  Good trooper, and all, but unless there are serious injury problems or concerns that the other backs are not going to be able to carry the load, I do not expect to see Samuel more than a handful of carries a game.
