iceman330 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 A DE or DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNorth Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I dont know if its FAR from undersized. He was moved to OLB for a reason wasnt he?And besides, look at our other DEs. Daniels 285 Wynn 292 Evans 280 Compared to them, yes Carter is undersized. He was moved to OLB because the 9ers switched to a 3-4 defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 and they are all run stuffers not pass rushers most pass rushing DEs are 260-275... Yeah, Im just saying there might be reason we dont have anyone like that on the roster...Im not sure that we are looking at Carter to play DE every down. But if we are, Id be happy with that, because I do think we need a DE who can rush the passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter Apotheosis Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I dont know if its FAR from undersized. He was moved to OLB for a reason wasnt he?And besides, look at our other DEs. Daniels 285 Wynn 292 Evans 280 Compared to them, yes Carter is undersized. The demands for a DE playing in the 3-4 are different from those of one playing in the 4-3. He excelled as a DE in the 4-3 and it made more sense for him to be a LB in the 3-4. Robert Mathis is undersized at 234. Being a pass-rushing, quick DE and considering that 260-280 is about average for all DEs... 265 seems far from undersized in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhi4582 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 any chance we could package him with Lloyd? Carter is an UFA, therefore we do not need to trade to aquire him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 We just throw money at him until he comes to Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1796 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 carter is the same size or bigger than. . john abraham, jason taylor, jevon kearse, KGB, dwight freeney (though i think he may have beefed-up a little) so i think he'll make a fine DE a pass rushing front four is immensely important to a good defense. imagine if we got pressure WITHOUT blitzing. Oh BTW he will more htan liekly take daniels' place at right DE the traditional pass rusher position. hopefully evans will start on the other side.

truskinsfan18 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I really don't want him as our DE, dont you guys htink it would be better for him as our lB? it would solve our problem. Heres what we could do..................Have Carter be our linebacker, and on 3rd down slip in Clemons to pass rush and Carter to the DL...then our LB problem would be solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I hope we can get Andre Carter, seems like a good fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1796 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 look guys carter is not a LB he is a s-4 lb i guess but that is basically a 4-3 de with some coverage responsibilities. he also stuggled at LB last year with SF. he is a DE. clemens will be the LB unless we pick someone else up. don't wish for carter to be a LB in our schemes he isn't that kind of player. might as well put griffin out there lol note the 12 sacks as a DE and the 2 sacks as a LB lasst year. . .

brandies Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Great to get Carter and a decent TE through FA and use the draft to get best player available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyhorse1 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I think we have the advantage of attracting great talent to our D because we are PROVEN. I hope we sign Carter. If we get Carter, I think he'll play his natural position, DE, and get 8-10 sacks. We'll be looking, if we get Carter, for a DT, and a weak side linebacker, but not hard enough to lose forcus on another WR, S, and TE. What I'm curious about is the seeming lack of interest in a kicker and a CB at this point, but then again we don't know everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
