PleaseGoForTheWin Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Carter was always a hard worker, positive individual, and skilled player for us. I felt awful for him last year. As much as I hate to see him on another team, I am glad that he will have a chance to utilize his ability. The Pats continue to become a stronger team.

ouvan59 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 This brings up an interesting conversation: aside from Andre Carter and London Fletcher, who else would you list as free agents who have actually panned out? Cornelius Griffin, Marcus Washington, DeAngelo Hall, Randy Thomas, Shawn Springs, Casey Rabach, Mike Sellers Not all were great their whole time here but all of these guys at a couple of good years. ---------- Post added August-8th-2011 at 03:29 PM ---------- You mean, two of our former players who will be used in the right schemes for their skills, don't you? CHA-CHING...Super Bowl RING??? Might want to let that happen before you proclaim it fact. New England right now runs a scheme similar to ours. They might adjust their schemes slightly to fit Carter and Haynesworth's style but they still may struggle. Haynesworth didn't struggle here because of scheme. He struggled because he's an unmotivated fatass. Carter struggled because he's just not a 3-4 OLB or DE. He's flat out built for the 4-3 DE.

icbmayday Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I wish him the best of success Andre always seemed to play his heart out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The one guy who I probably wouldn't have guven any grief for feeling a little salty about the transition to the 3-4, but he didn't say anything, went ou tthere, and gave it all he had. How can you not respect that? The guy is a true professional, and I hope he tears it up in New England ( though not against us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikie Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 class guy...

houserocker Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I was wondering when someone would pick him up-I still can't believe that a 4-3 team didn't snatch him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cphil006 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 They run a 3-4, where he has not been successful... washington and 49ers... but, the Pats are smarter than both of those franchises and have the ability to use him to his strengths and won't ask him to expose his weaknesses...

No_Pressure Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 This brings up an interesting conversation: aside from Andre Carter and London Fletcher, who else would you list as free agents who have actually panned out? Well I'd count the dark times as Spurrier and Zorn and the last 2 seasons of Gibbs when they let Cerrato loose, and I am only looking at free agent signings. Carter is one, Fletcher is one, I wouldn't count Springs, Clark, Griffin, as the dark times FA signings. DeAngelo Hall...I guess he's panning out?

Bobbyst21 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Best of luck to the man.Gonna be fun playing 2 of our former players with NE. Why does it seem though that all of our players we cut and signing to teams that we play this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgiaredskin Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 He was on Hell's Kitchen tonight. Yeah that was cool! I wouldn't of guessed that he would like to hear Gordon Ramsey's cussing like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goskinz0721 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I read on ESPN that the Patsies have 19 Defensive Linemen in camp. Yes, you read that correctly..... 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage520 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Way to go AC. He was one of my favorite D-linemen for a long time when we were running the 4-3. I was sad to see him go but I'm happy to see he'll have a chance to shine again. Gives me even more reasons to check out the Pats this year. Albert failure and success for AC.

Pats are switching to a hybrid defense, possibly even a 4-3. http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/6826604/new-england-patriots-mailbag-anything-4-3-talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
