Isn't that the guy who had trouble with the Cowboys because he wasn't physical enough?

 

Ahab found his white whale.

 

Anderson Cut, Carpenter signed

Well now, this says a couple of things:

-They really like Q Moses

-Finally all of "trade for Carpenter" stuff can be put to bed

-New nickel ILB and ST player

I like this pickup, but would have waived Q over Anderson, he did more jobs than Q did but I suppose they felt Q was younger and did have some upside left to offer.

 

STs signing.

 

good special teamer. i like the move.

 

Guess Im oughta the loop on this one...what do u mean by that?

 

That's where he picked up the nickname "Barbie" Carpenter.

 

yeah the guy is nothing special. Anderson is a better all around LB

 

why would we cut a olb to make room for a ilb? now who do we have at olb?

francis, misi, wake, moses?

 

Yes the coach referred to him as a finesse player.

 

hope he isnt expecting to be #54 :lol:

 

He's been talked about as being a Dolphin for 3 offseasons, it's felt like Ahab trying to find Moby Dick.

 

yeah but you have a first round talent and a staff that may be able to help get the player on the right track, This is something that I do not underestimate Parcells with...we will see Carpenter's best, and if thats not good enough, than so be it, what did we really lose on the risk?

 

And the long rumored, often talked about possibility of Bobby Carpenter being a Dolphin has come to fruition. For those who don't remember, back when we traded for Anthony Fasano and Akin Ayodele, the strong rumors going around were that we wanted Carpenter, but couldn't get Dallas to part with him.

Each and every trade thereafter seemed to bring up more scuttlebutt about Bobby coming here. It never seemed to be in the cards...until now. Hence the Ahab-white whale reference made by UnifiedTheory.

The good news is, he is a great special teams player. Think about this for a moment folks, Bonamego has been an awful special teams coach for us. We looked like absolute dog **** the first few games with that unit. What did Miami do? They went and got some special teams aces in Benny Sapp and Bobby Carpenter to help shore it up.

Basically, I expect us to have an improved coverage team at this point. Bobby won't start at the linebacking position, but he replaces Anderson who, while versatile, wasn't a standout in any one category. Bobby isn't either, outside of special teams, but we don't lose a whole lot going from Charlie to Bobby...except that now Dan has to have a "D" in front of his last name...

 

I've always wondered why he didn't pan out. I've seen him sooooo close to making some big plays with Dallas. I think this is Parcells taking care of his boy.

 

Merge!

 

I think they are worried about Crowders health.

 

Bingo.

 

man are you stubbon about the Q.....when are you gonna trust me sometimes Pod.

Have you broken down how good Q can set an edge.?

I like this move, because whenever there is a player that has talent {first round pick} and an attitude problem, and Parcells is in charge, your chances of getting the best out of the player are better than anyone else imo.

 

W T F!????? The dude they call Barbie bounces C Anderson?

 

Anderson was being played at inside linebacker and Carpenter is a better special teams player.

 

he will pick it up for us. anyone else picture him making a big hit on special teams sunday and we are like "whos that?!?!"

"oh **** its bobby!!!!!!!! yesssss"

 

From what I've read he is a solid coverage linebacker, which is something we've lacked in the past.

 

We just gave the Bills a starting OLB imo....

I guess im the only one mildly upset about this one. I think Anderson is a fringe starter. Bobby hasnt amounted to anything but a STer.

 

I do not like the Q because he is one dimensional, has had three yrs to do something and has not.

Maybe yr 4 is his yr, but puppies and biting come to mind.

As for this move Deej I've been warning folks for the last 2 days, do not fall in love with anyone outside of the Starting 25, they can be gone in half a day.

"Charlie Anderson? Love his game..wait what, he was cut?"

That is about how this will work for the entire season, Feed the Wolf, or Get Fed to the Wolves.

 

Dude, Bobby friggin Carpenter ??????? Another Dallas boy. They traded him for Alex Baron and Carpenter could not even makes the Rams roster ? Now I know we are in doo doo. He is NOT a special teams wiz, if he was, he would still be in St. Louis, they need all the help they can get up there and they even released him.

 

Yep. And Crowder probably doesn't play week 1.

 

you are surely on a role, how many threads a day ? 10 ? :shifty: merge...

 

Yep, they called him " Barbie " Carpenter down there. If you watched any of the Rams pre season games ( I taped them because I wanted to see this kid Bradford ) Let me put it this way, Barbie can kick Carpenters assss. He did nothing on special teams and was far worse as a LBer.

 

He's not good at anything besides special teams apparently.

 

with anderson getting work at ILB the last few weeks, i´m actually more shocked that micah johnson is still on this team, but 2.2 M for anderson probably to much

 

yahtzeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It's what Da' Phins posted last night about this regime being infatuated with it's own ingenuity.

 

If , God Forbid, they amputated one of Crowders arms he would still be better then Barbie Carpenter.

 

i dont know if good special teams player and not physical enough can be in the same sentence though

 

I only do this when I get ignored the first time..:lol:
