Likely a combination of those things. Always thought Samuel was better than his production before coming here and excited to see what he can do down the stretch.
I’ll bet Taylor Rapp is happy he kept his head down and mouth shut here for a year as primarily a depth piece before getting rewarded as a starter with a 3 year deal.
On second thought, given his violent play style, maybe “kept his head down” could be worded better…
From Dan Orlovsky:
Scored 20+ points
Didn’t turn it over
Allowed fewer than 250 yards
In NFL history, teams are 750-1 (including playoffs) when generating that box score.
The only loss is the Jets yesterday.

A few minutes before reading this, I was struggling trying to think of the last time I went into a game expecting to lose.
They throw to Walker frequently too
