Moving/pushing anyone 350+ lbs is not easy. If he becomes a short yardage specialist which has not been an area that we have done well with in along time and he helps improve us in just that area alone then Urban and staff have made another very smart move. Third and forth down short yardage plays can be very critical in tight games with momentum and confidence. I thought he played well on Saturday and for the most part really pushed the pocket.

Michael Bennett thread:

Here is my unofficial, rough, non-official "transcript" of a reporter asking Michael Bennett questions about Carter:


Q: Chris Carter made the switch earlier in the middle of spring. How far
has he come as a defensive lineman?

A: He made the switch like a week ago, and he is already ... yeah
he's already ... you can see where is is going to be really really good. Big ...
big boy.

A: And once he starts really learning the techniques and the moves ...
he is going to be really valuable.

Q: What does he bring to the table. Just that A gap guy or a ..?

A: Well He's enourmous. And He's strong. You see guys ... like starting
O-lineman. You can't move him and he doesn't know what he is doing yet.

So He's an ahtlete, He's fast, He's quick. He just needs to learn the
d-line and he is going to be great for us.

I am personally way more than okay with him standing up and pushing the center back a few yards, or even occupying a double team. Sure, why not?

Maybe he will be like that guy that Alabama had a few years ago playing nose tackle? Terrence Cody. Carter needs to bulk up though. Rivals lists him as only 325, whereas Wikipedia lists Terrence Cody variously as 360 or 370.

If Vrabel wants him on defense, he might have a future!

he was listed at 370 in the dispatch on sunday, and I think that was being nice. Take a look at him next to the other D-line players. They look like LB'ERS by him. He's huge just like the Alabama/LSU lines 3 deep middle players 330,,,,,,

My understanding is, Coach Meyer's practices are supposedly brutal. If Chris can gut them out @ 370, God bless him. Watching the spring game, I thought he moved well enough to have a chance at playing time someday:)

Maybe we can get him to play a little goal line full back too.

Carter Provides Intriguing Option for Fickell
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Ohio State coaches saw a little bit of Johnathan Hankins in Chris Carter when they decided to move him over to the defensive side of the ball back in spring.

Or, better yet, they saw a little of ?Big Hank? in the ?Big Hungry.?

It was a just glimmer, but it was enough to give head coach Urban Meyer and his defensive coaching staff a reason to think Carter might have a much brighter future on the other side of the ball.

?He?s not a guy who thinks real well on the run,? Meyer said of the robust second-year player out of Cleveland.

?He?s a little bit like Hank, you have your assignment, do your assignment and play with great intensity. We saw glimpses of that towards the end of spring practice.?

Carter had been floundering as an oversized offensive lineman under the previous coaching staff. They had tried him at tackle initially and then at guard, but Carter was having a rough time finding a spot to call his own on offense.

Even he knew he wasn?t going to last long under new offensive line coach Ed Warinner.

?I was excited about it because I knew I wasn?t really progressing as an O-lineman through the first half of spring,? Carter said of his switch to defense.

?So I was excited to get another chance and to go to the D-line where you can take out all your aggression on that center.?
