Well it just goes to show the importance they put on a great kicker. Very smart. Too bad I really wanted him here. Let's go get Hunter

Apparently Peppers has told the Panthers he would only accept a trade to one of four teams. Three are in the NFC, one of which is the Cowcircus, and the other is an unnamed AFC team. Interesting. I wonder who the other NFC teams are....

Pressure on, Panthers limited to four teams on Peppers' trade list - NFL - CBSSports.com Football

Can't be too hard to figure out, who else plays a base 3-4?

49ers too I think

Actually you're right, and I'm wrong. Aside from the Cowboys, I don't think any team other than the 49ers ran a 3-4 in the NFC. Meanwhile in the AFC, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, NYJ, Denver (starting in '09), Miami, San Diego, and New England run the 3-4. I wonder why it's so much more prevalent in the AFC?

Cards.

After looking at GTripp's FA spreadsheets, I didn't realize that Darren McFadden is free agent right now.. I think, if we happen to trade away Rogers (Redskins better not tho, but) then we should go for McFadden? He is a physical CB.. Something that I love to see in our defense..

Bryant McFadden yo... Darren would get his ass handed to him at corner i'm pretty sure.

If im not mistaken, the cards base defense is a 4-3, although they do alot more 3-4 too. they brought in alot of versitile players the past year to be flexible.

Yeah, that's what I thought. This link suggests the same. CBS Sportsline's team capsules have their base defensive alignments:

Okay, so there are 3 teams in the NFC that run a 3-4, as opposed to 9 in the AFC. Any insight into why it's 3x more popular in the other conference? That whole "it's a copycat league" thing?

I would guess he would like to be part of that Pittsburgh D. Id hate to see him wearing a Star

I'd hate to see him in Dallas as well. Do you think he and Gurode would be roommates at training camp?

Are you confusing Peppers with Haynesworth?

[Trample the Elderly]

What a horrible year for free agency. All of the guys I wanted to see in a Washington uniform are not coming. If we do anything it should be to re-sign the DTs we still have. Oh well.
