SonOfWashington Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Good luck to him there. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the Pats (far from it), I enjoyed his tenure here and thought he was a quality player. Sucks you have to work with Haynesworthless again, AC.

georgiaredskin Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Good luck to him there. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the Pats (far from it), I enjoyed his tenure here and thought he was a quality player.Sucks you have to work with Haynesworthless again, AC. My thoughts exactly. And he is an even better quality person. At fan day last year he stopped his vehicle to get out and sign autographs for my niece and nephew. All the best wishes and blessings for Andre Carter. You are missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aireskoi Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Great news for Andre. They need his pass rush ability. They will probably use him on 3rd downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all the time though, just when Al actually plays. But good for Andre, hope he does well. Good guy, great leader and I don't know why he was not used here properly. Oh well.

jackson8919 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 He was a really productive player for us when we ran a 4-3 scheme. Should be a boost to their pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good guy, great leader and I don't know why he was not used here properly. Oh well.I have to believe this is why:He was a really productive player for us when we ran a 4-3 scheme. Should be a boost to their pass rush. We took him out of the DE spot and put him at OLB when we switched to the 3-4. Thus he started less and had about a 10 sack drop off from 2009 to 2010. The Pats also run a 3-4, so it'll be interesting so see how hell be utilized. If all else fails, he can switch to line dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all else fails, he can switch to line dancing. I wonder the same thing. He is definitely a 4-3 end. He is not a 3-4 OLB. It sucked since he was great here in a 4-3 and when they switched, he obviously didn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Pressure Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Good luck to Andre, one of the few FA's we brought in during the dark times who managed to live up to his paycheck and give us multiple seasons of double digit sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#98QBKiller Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Glad to hear. I was a big fan on Andre Carter and he was a quality pass rusher, he just no longer fit the system here. I hate the Pats but he deserves to be on a winning team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCClybun Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Happy Andre Carter went to a winner. Not happy we're going to have to deal with a bunch of "See, Belichick ADAPTS to his star players!" stuff, but of well, I wish AC lots of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#98QBKiller Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Pats aren't telling the media officially (BB), but they have switched to a 4-3 now. We had some good players for a 4-3 team so the Patriots are definitely making out good on the situation. If they had Orakpo, they'd have most of our 2009-top-ten-in-sacks defensive fronts.

dent19 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 He was really a "Hot Cup O' Nuthin". He played out of position but never found a rhythm. No big loss in him leaving. Good Luck in NE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Pats aren't telling the media officially (BB), but they have switched to a 4-3 now. They've always played a hybrid. The media labels them a 3-4 but Belicheck is great about changing fronts to suit his players. The first two SB's they won were primarily with 4-3 defenses after some LB injuries.
