Bills Rookie Media Day Mic'd Up DeWayne Carter

That awkward moment when someone says everything you were going to say and then asks if you have anything to add.

McCargo couldn't spell his last name if you spotted him the "Cargo".  Carter went to Duke for starters and was a 3 year captain.  McCargo started 10 of 25 games at NC State and had pedestrian numbers, .5 sacks, 24 total tackles, 0 FF, 0 FR.

 

Now look at Carter in his 5 years at Duke:

 

Not sure where how you formed your opinion.

So did everyone. Carter will be hated around here I believe.

He’s got McCargo’s size, Torell Troup’s athleticism, and Dareus’ work ethic.

 

 

 

Is this sarcasm? Or are you really that down on this pick? I'm honestly curious.

 

I admit, I know almost nothing of his college career, other than the post-draft highlight vids, etc. But, after watching all of his interviews and stuff, I really like the kid. He is mature, a leader, has the Bills DNA, is smart, etc.

 

It looks like most draft predictions had him as a 4th rounder. We grabbed him at the very end of the 3rd round---not that big a reach, and he probably wouldn't have been there by our 4th round pick.

 

His strength seems to be interior pass rush, which he can achieve with quickness or bull rush. He's a little weaker standing up in the run game. Was projected to be a rotational DT. Sounds like the perfect guy to have behind Oliver. We won't be asking Carter to plug up the line, but rather to penetrate. And hopefully, he'll get stronger as well, with NFL nutrition, strength & conditioning, etc.

 

We'll have to wait and see if his skill set/talent is consistently good enough for the NFL, but he certainly won't bust from a lack of effort, intelligence, maturity, drive, mentality, etc. So, I think you're off comparing his work ethic to Dareus. This kid loves ball.

Yes it was sarcasm.

 

I like Carter. I said a few days ago I wanted to hate the pick because of who we passed on but I can’t. He looks solid to me. I think he might impact as a rookie.

That NC State DL also had Mario Williams and Manny Lawson. All 3 played for Buffalo.

 

Im pretty good with knowing former Bills players. I honestly can’t remember Manny Lawson playing for the Bills.

I believe the phrase “Dareus Work Ethic” is an oxy-moron.

Oh no! Heaven forbid someone doesn't think a Bills draft pick is an immediate quality player.🙄

I also said I hope I'm wrong

Yeah, that comparison to Dareus?! I don't think you could find two more different NFL players. I mean I liked Marcell for a while, he was entertaining and didn't seem like a bad guy, but Carter's extremely mature, intelligent and purposeful.

[Sweats]

I think it's a good pick for us and i really don't think it'll take too long to see the dividends either.

Yes your strong neutrality on him was so great you felt compelled to compare him to a famous Bills DT draft bust. 🤣

I think one of the characteristics Buffalo really liked about Carter was his ability to anticipate the snap count.  He supposedly has a really quick first step.  That is more reminiscent of Kyle Williams from the same draft class as McCargo.

Because of the third round pick, I was thinking Adolphus "Meat Tenderizer" Washington.  Hope I'm wrong.

His get off is very reminiscent of KW.

Drums over flats.....my man... 

[zow2]

Didn't know anything about him...but off the field you can tell he's a high energy guy and smart.  I don't think failure is an option for this guy.  I think he will be a disruptor right off the bat and hopefully get better from there.  It's impossible to know how good he will be.

Carter is my 2nd favorite pick in this class, top goes to Ray Davis. As both these guys feel like high end depth guys that could start in a pinch.
