Skins cut Andre Carter

[redsk1]

Good guy, good player in the 3-4. Hey, it's tough though, he's older and costs alot of money. It's pretty clear that we going younger. Best of luck to AC.

I think the meaning of the 3-4 to the redskins is that it will get us to 3-4 wins a year. Or that the skins will be 3-4 from the bottom in defense every year. I think they go hand in hand. Im just being a Nancy, please forgive.

every year every team finds guys that can get it down and are unknown but if we want our 3-4 to work..... VON MILLER

Von Miller and a real NT and this D will be much different.

Andre Carter is valuable to a team as a leader and as a clubhouse mentor for young players - - some of whom have serious self-destructive tendencies.

He will be missed for those attributes; not every player with "ten years in the league" has them.

Good luck to him wherever he catches on...

No "inside info" here but I suspect that Von Miller will be long gone when the Skins pick rolls around.

He could, but Orakpo fell even further to #13 so who knows.

That was incredibly good fortune, especially Buffalo taking Maybin with Orakpo still on the board. If a no brainer like Miller isn't available when we pick, I would be just as happy if we traded down to later in the 1st round and added another 2nd round pick. There are A LOT of holes to fill, especially with a defense running the 3-4 that was built around 4-3 personnel. Offensive line must be a priority also. It will take 2-3 more drafts to undo years of neglecting line depth on both sides of the ball.

Jerry Gray and the Titans could be looking at Carter.

I'd pick Lindsey Vonn over Vonn Miller, thats why it wouldnt be good for me to be a GM.

Lol she's a lot cuter.

But, with no draft trades and no FA before the draft, a lot of teams ahead of us could take QBs earlier than usual if they need one...and a lot of teams do. Because of the uncertainty on how and when they can address their needs outside of the draft, teams will be drafting on NEED instead of best player available...the opposite of the norm.

If this is true, we should be hitting both lines hard in this draft...maybe a 3-4 LB, WR and FS too. The players we release between now and the draft could be indications of the holes we're going to fill in the draft (except for Portis, he was a money decision and we have Torain/Williams).

I think this draft will be the most unpredictable ever.

Best of luck to you AC! Class act all around.

Vonn Miller looks good but really small

I think his size won't be too bad due to his instincts and ability
