[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;528019]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.[/quote]

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

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

Leroy Hill and Dunta Robinson both just got franchised, apparently Nnamdi Asomugha is close to a 2-3 year deal with Oakland, and Jordan Gross is wrapping up a new 6 year deal with Carolina. All of this per PFT and ESPN.

I know this is off-topic but i really dont know why they fired their d-coordinator. the defense played exceptionally well late in the season and they really don't have a very talented defense overall. I cant think of a single defensive player who would be considered in the top 5 at their position and only a couple who could be considered top 15.

Well, I would say Darnell Dockett, Adrian Wilson, and Karlos Dansby are all top 10 at their positions for sure. And Rogers-Cromartie is definitely a star on the rise. I heard Wisenhunt didn't really get along too well with Clancy Pendergrast (sp?).

Dockett had one strong year and thats it. hes certainly better than all our our tackles, but thats not saying much. Adrian Wilson is definitely top 10... dansby maybe, but there are alot of OLBs in the league... its kind of hard for me to rank them in my mind. I guess Wisenhut has the right to pick who he wants on his staff, but unless they get the LB coach from Pittsburg, i dont expect their defense to be nearly as good in 09.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

Lets slap the franchise tag on Montgomery or Golston, hell throw it on Doughty. I want to feel good about a player on our team not being able to leave. I am sick of all these teams using this to keep players, when we just give them all life time contracts.

Peppers just got tagged

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

The Saints are not going to tagged their FAs. I didn't see Vilma in this article, does anyone know if he re-signed with NO?

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

This is interesting, I wonder what team will go after him...maybe a trade between NE and Carolina (Cassel for Peppers). I know player for player trades are rare in the NFL, but I could see this happening.

3 years, $45 million for Asomugha. $26 million guaranteed.

that would be a very interesting trade and would fill needs for both teams. on the surface, i think the Pats would need to package Cassel with a draft pick, but the Pats are notorious for getting the better end of trades, so i could see it being a straight-up player for player trade.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

3 yrs 45 mil? thats just astronomical. wow. i gotta read up on that.

hopefully all this activity means we might hear something soon about hall and kendall. i am dying for some real actual news.

Damn, any chance we can get that hometown discount from Hall? Huh? Any takers? LOL.

Re: 2009 Free Agents
 

My guess is by Wednesday (maybe Thursday), the Redskins re-sign Hall at a price for about 6 years, $44 million and $14 million guaranteed. Total guess. Either way, I think we'll keep him.
