maybe a sign that AH is on his way out?

A guy with 11 tackles allows us to move the best DT in the league? I would say it is more likely AH gets to play DE in the 3-4

Did anyone hear on 980 that Haslett wanted to run predominantly 4-3. The rumor is that MS over ruled him and is forcing the 3-4.

Probably not a big deal but not something I wanted to hear.

I never heard that. But adding this guy shows that Big Al will play DE the majority of the time, and once everything starts rolling will see how they will use him. I see this as a good signing, Jim Haslett is one of the best D.Cords in the league and has been IMO.

How? He's instantly going to become a starter for us?

This guy will be lucky to make it past the first cut. I would say it is more likely that Montgomery starts at NT than Bryant. If Kemo gets healthy ahead of schedule, Bryant is history.

I didn't say he was going to become an instant starter. You can see they have brought two guys in already that fit the typical NT position. Which Al doesn't, and as we keep hearing about competion at ever position. Who knows what is going to happen?

That wouldn't surprise me; if this is true Mike needs to realize that he's not a DC and to leave that job to the guy that he hired. I understand the desire to eventually get the switch through, but mold it into that, don't create it out of nothing. It's not like he's had a lot of defensive success lately (Shanahan that is). He definitely reminds me of a guy that would have his hand in everything and by past accounts that's true, but sometimes you've got to realize that you hired a guy for a reason.

No doubt. If we end up trading AH and misusing Carter because Shanahan decides to force a 3-4 defense, he better be scoring 30 points a game.

That wouldn't be any different than Zorn forcing his version of the West Coast on the guys he was given.
