Forget Haynesworth, Redskins sign another NT

All his career he has been containing the outside run and being an edge rusher and then in his brief stint as a 3-4 OLB he dropped in coverage.

As a 3-4 DE He would need to gain 50-60-70 pounds and change his entire mindset. He would pretty much have to completely start over as a football player.

At least as a 3-4 OLB he has some experience. I can tell you right now if he doesn't play 3-4 OLB then he'll be either traded or released. There is absolutely no chance that he'll be a 3-4 end.

:joker:

is he srs?

Yes there is a difference between a 3-4 DE and a 4-3 DE, but that doesn't make up for the fact that Andre is best when he is right on the line. He is best at rushing the QB and getting into the backfield. If you watched him while he was in WAS, he's always one of the first players in the backfield. He can disrupt the interior line just as well as anybody.


lol @ him gaining 50 pounds. there's no way he gains 50 pounds of muscle before next season and if you want him to gain 50 pounds of fat you might as well move him to OL.


He's already good at what he does.. Why change it? Defensive Line was probably the only thing on the Redskins that did not need to be touched, they had the perfect trio of Carter/Haynesworth/Daniels going into next year. If any part of defense should be changed, it should be the pass defense considering we were one of the last ranked pass defenses in the league last year and gave up more 20+ yard pass plays than any team in the league.
 
Moving to a 34, he can play outside...but he needs to actually, you know...um try. If his motor runs hot (which has only happened when he has a contract on the line) he can play inside or out in the 34.

And, yes...Orakpo is the best player on the Redskins

1st, I can look up his career stats if i want. I didn't need you to post them.

Andre Carter is best fit as a 4-3 DE, that we can both agree on. But as a 3-4 end Andre Carter would get absolutely no pressure on the QB and because of where he is aligned teams would easily run all over him. If you want him to contribute at all in a 3-4 defense it would have to be as an OLB.

There is a HUGE difference between a 4-3 end and a 3-4 end. One i don't think you understand. Unless your the Cowboys, as a 3-4 end for the most part Andre Carter would just be a 2-gapper. That is NOT what he does. He could still easily contribute in nickel and dime situations as a pass rusher, but i know Carter is making pretty good money and no way they only use him in those situations. He'll have to contribute on the starting defense as well if he wants to be on the team and that won't happen as a 3-4 end but it can as a 3-4 OLB.

I was also saying if he in any way he realistically will be playing as a 3-4 end is if he does bulk up which obviously gaining that much muscle mass in a few months and learning an entire new position while still being an impact player is entirely unrealistic.

Says the guy who suggested a 250 lb. player bulk up to 320 to play in the 3-4....
 
I didn't suggest it... name a 250 pound 3-4 end in the league... There isn't one. Which is why he would need to play as a 3-4 OLB.
 
He is no where near fast enough or good enough to play an OLB in the 3-4 defense in the NFL. If they start him anywhere, it will be at DE.

He's already tried it once in his career and it didn't fit. What are you not getting about that? It's not like he's never played the position so no one knows if he will be good. He has played the position and was no where near as effective as he is on the line.

Worst comes to worst they release him, but I can almost guaruntee you that if they use him at OLB, he will become one of the biggest holes in this defense.

Maybe you should look up his stats then because you're obviously not understanding that he was a failure at OLB



Not to mention he was faster in his younger days than he is now
 
Kentwan Balmer is 315
Isaac Sopaga is 330.

Generally as a 3-4 end you want to be anywhere from at least 280 to 320.

He has never played as a 3-4 DE in his career and he is not a 2 gapping defensive lineman. You obviously know nothing about the 3-4 defense. I'm not saying he'll be any good as a 3-4 OLB but I'm saying thats the only place he can realistically contribute in the defense.
 
I also didn't directly say 320 is what you wanna be. When i started talking i didn't google Andre Carter to find his playing weight. I assumed he was around 240, he's in the mid 250's. But, yes, anywhere from 280-320 is usually how big a 3-4 end is. A 5 technique de is not gonna easily convert to a 2 gapping 3-4 end.
 
Haloti Ngata plays 3-4 end and he is 360 pounds. Haynesworth is a tremendous pass rusher who i think could do well in a 3-4 scheme where he plays end. He will be what Shaun Rogers will be in Clevelandthis year, that guy in the 3-4 set that collapses the pocket and gets pressures. Sure he wont be on every snap and he probably wont try every snap but it could work if his head is there.

I also think haynesworth would prefer to play end in a 3-4 scheme as he could rush the passer as oppose to just holding up two offensive lineman.
