To me, the tender made it clear that he could be had, just not at a firesale price. So we put a first round tender on him, doesn't mean we couldn't trade him for less. It just meant we thought he was a solid starter and we would need an offer that reflected that.

I personally think we have the players on hand to play the 3-4. Carter can play end and OLB as a rusher is certain situations. But honestly he kind of reminds me athletically as a Jason taylor, little bigger, but just as quick and strong. I think Blades can play the inside, i mean he was named the best LB in college just a few years ago, so the guy can play. I wish we would just start letting our young talent take the field. Chris Wilson is another guy, that I think can play OLB in a 3-4 system. He is quick, can cover and is a high motor guy.
If there is one thing about this organization that really kills me is the development of younger guys. They have them sitting on the sideline behind older guys when they should be playing. Especially Kelly and Tomas. Devin came on at the end of year, but Malcom never saw the damn field. Its a shame. Now with Randel smell gone, Malcom should become what eveyone thinks he should. Shannys kid thinks he has all the tools to be an Andre Johnson type reciever, which if true is scary if Tomas gets better mixing with cooley and Davis. The potential of this offense now with the addition of Larry Johnson and Portis splitting time, upgrades in the Oline really has me excited.

Actually I don't think Carter, and he's admitted as much himself, can play DE in a 3-4 and definitely not OLB. He just too clumsy to be honest. He's a pure 4-3 defensive end.

That said, as I've stated elsewhere, I'm very leery of bringing Adam Carriker here because he's shown nothing (2 sacks in three years) and he's Courtney Brown waiting to happen, in my humble opinion. But if there's a year to gamble, this is the year to do it.

Bottom line, if we let Andre Carter go I hope we don't package him and draft picks to another team.

Chiefs are bringing in Lilja as well...I would sign Lilja if I were us.

Whats the deal with Kevin Mawae? I know we have interest in him. Haven't heard his name in a while. Anyone know whats up with him and where he might be?

SmootSmack · 03-12-2010, 06:21 PM

Titans still want to bring him back, but not sure where that stands right now

Dirtbag59 · 03-12-2010, 08:15 PM

Smoot, if Snead had played as well in 2009 as he had in 2008 where would we be talking about him right now in the draft?

"Oh man, Tiger better watch out. Snead can really drive the ball far." Probably has a site with Chuck Norris Snead jokes. The thing is that I recently saw someone suggest that Houston Nutt was a QB killer (not unusual for an SEC coach :P) and that Snead might have either lost his starting job permanently or regressed further under Nutt. Personally the guy intrigues me more and more though I still say he's a poor mans Jay Cutler.

Which is: a JP Losman clone?

I agree.

Don't hold your breath on that one or you will be mistaken for one of the blue man group.
