People can argue he was drafted too high, and I might agree, but he is doing exactly what he's supposed to do. Did you not see him against Calais Campbell?
This is really where I was going and perhaps I should have said "not really looking for in a second round pick." I've no axe to grind with Sample as a player; by all accounts (that I've seen), he's doing what's asked of him reasonably capably.
... and no, actually I didn't. I'm in NJ and we rarely get Bengals games. I'm excited to be going to the game with the Jets tomorrow - first game I'll actually have been able to go to in I (literally) don't know how long.
