No Noise About Andre?

Why then is everyone so hell bent on drafting or signing a DE. If there is someone we just cannot refuse then so be it, but I think where our defensive live would benefit greatly from a multi-faceted DT who rush and run stuff. However, when you have a DE who has double-digit sack totals, I would hardly call DE a "pressing need". What does everyone think?

When people on here are saying that they want a DE, I don't think that they want to replace Carter. I think it more has to do with Philip Daniels and the lack of depth at the position. Don't get me wrong I am hoping that Wilson turns into a DE monster but it wouldn't hurt to have a young face in the mix...

Wilson is 25 years old. Can't get much younger than that.

Unless you mean you want more competition for a starting DE role?

Well, that's what I'm saying. And he said he wouldn't mind seeing a young face in the mix and Wilson is younger than Daniels. So having 2 young DEs backing him up. Daniels, Wilson, (insert new player here) ?

I'm just confused. Sigh. I did a lot of stuff last night :cool-smil. I need to get my critical thinking cap back on.

What I meant was that Daniels is pretty much at the end of his career being that he is turning 35 on the 4th of March. Therefore, you are left with Carter, Wilson, and Evans. So, like I said it wouldn't hurt to have a young stud fresh from college in that mix.

Just cause you're young doesn't make you worth it. I should have used the term "young talented", but I was referring to taking a DE in the draft with our 21st pick.
I know you weren't talking to me, but I said it too. I am not impressed with Wilson. He seems slow getting around the defender and has difficulty playing the run. I want someone more athletic, and bigger than 242 lbs.
