Will Andre Carter Be A Bust??

If you look around the league, there are very few teams that can consistently get pressure from the front four. Jacksonville does it. Dallas is getting better at it. The Giants are hit and miss. One week they look like the fearsome foursome and the next they mail it in. Then there is the odd single player like Freeney who can do it on their own. It seems to be getting really tough to do. I will be happy if he can play the run well. We'll get our pressure with blitzes, especially when Springs gets back. Remember too that Philip Daniels came on with a big push late last year. I'd rather have these guys save something for December.

Once Springs comes back and the defense becomes more aggressive I think Andre will get more opportunities to pin the ears back and go. They will start overloading his side of the field with blitz packages and/or vice versa and he will get his chances.

In a word, no. 4 percent body fat and a very smart cat. I have faith that rexi was using him improperly. Yeah I think we were using him improperly, he isn't a stand up pass rusher. But he did line up at DE for us at time to time, more so as the season went on. Basically 'Dre has had one season where he looked like the real deal. He needs to wake up fast, or I would think his starting job will be yanked.

4% body fat = dead. just thought it's worth mentioning.

it's possible to have 4% body fat

I think if we had 2 bulldozing DT's and a secondary that could cover Carter would have astronomical numbers. We have to draft cover corners, and run stuffing DT's. Look what happened to the Ravens with Ngata/Gregg- well you dont hear much from TPryce yet but they may lead the league in sacks. I dunno i would like to see us go to a 3-4 if we dont draft a DT next year, they seem harder to come by because it is an unglorified position compared to LB, we have to create a pass rush w/o taking guys from the secondary to make it. the front 4 is doing a horrible job this year just as they have for the past 6 years. Adding Poseyand Mac. we should be showing glimpses of 3-4 if our only DT is Griffin. This is crazy Carter will be a bust until the secondary can cover everyone every play. If he likes it or not, what he has done this season only proves despite his amazing body/strength? that he is too undersized to play that DE and is better suited in a 3-4. His size would make him much more intimitating than D. Ware or any OLB in the league--oops forgot about Merryman. 3-4 is the way to go for the current selection of guys we have.

He was in a 3-4 last season and didn't play very well. I'm not sure that he would be any better this year.

Rexi,

Why do you come here just talk trash about Carter and Lloyd? I don't go to Chiefs' sites to complain about Rod Gardner, etc. Your comments are always welcome and I don't mean to be a jerk, but you sound really, really unnaturally bitter about Lloyd and Carter.

He was in a 3-4 last season and didn't play very well. I'm not sure that he would be any better this year.

Im not talking about those 49er bums I mean with real players.
