I recently had to break down the top 5 edge rushers for this upcoming NFL draft. One thing I can say for sure is using your hands well is a must if you want to be a good edge rusher. Great hand usage is was one thing that makes Nick Bosa so good. Bosa ran a 4.84-Forty. So he's not winning with speed. But what he does so well is swiping and chopping not allowing OTs to get their hands on him. Laia Latu top edge rusher from UCLA is great with his hands and why he may be the #1 edge off in the draft. I agree Carter has ok hands but needs to get better and develop a few more moves to counter when his first move doesn't work. Carter was always able to get "skinny" on blitzes with his bend. As for opening his chest, you can tell he does that because he's giving a quick fake step one way then coming back the other way.
I don't believe this move is because they think he'll be a better DE, I think it's about him using his body naturally rather than forcing him to be lighter. I think he's just naturally going to be a big body guy.

Season needs to start NOW! Let's GOOOOOO
Always good to watch the coach break down film.
Looking forward to Carter learning the new position!
Best cure for the Sunday scaries is seeing coach pop up in my feed with a film study. It's been too long!

I have a feeling that T. Allen is going to use A. Carter different ways, not just defensive end? We shall see 👀 Nittany nation!!! WE ARE 👍
