Panthers interested in DT Antonio Smith

[Jackofalltrades]

Interesting. He'd be a UT for us. Doubt we are cutting Down, since he doesn't make that much.

Down? Lol, damn autocorrect.

A 34 DE is often times a 43 DT.

Yeah, but he doesn't seem to fit that.. He's not even 300 lbs.

No I know what I said. He plays a 5 technique for Houston. That makes him a tweener type for us that would likely have him rotate at LDE and 3 tech. He is built more like a DE and is a good pass rusher. Built more like Hardy than Dwan. He can't play nose tackle either. He would just add depth to what Johnson and Hardy do for us.

per cap hit vs production, we need to be trying to resign Cole...  we still have Dwan Edwards.  This guy would just be an added bonus.

This is interestingly unexpected...

[PanthersBigD]

Whose D Line would you want to be a part of? I'd say the Panthers are the most attractive of the bunch from an opportunity standpoint.

He played DE in a 4-3 in both Hou and Zona.

 

Rotoworld are calling him a DL, not a DT, DE's are DL's too.

Cut Dwan Edwards and sign Antonio Smith. Major upgrade. 

[KSpan]

Possible vet insurance for a Hardy trade? Worth a mention along with every other speculative scenario.

[Panthers111]

isnt cole short and star enough? let spend our money on our needs ffs..

 

I believe this was the reason why we lost all those 4th quarter games 2-3 years ago. Our DTs got really tired by the 4th quarter and teams were able to run it down our throats. 2 guys isn't enough to play an entire 4 quarters.

Smith visiting w/Redskins tomorrow. 

[Rules&Regulations]

This move wouldn't make much sense to me. Can't see how we'd save much by cutting Dwan and signing Antonio, and he doesn't play the same position as Colin Cole so he's not really a replacement there either.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

possibly just pushing up his price tag so the Bucs or Falcons have to pay more
