Anarumo - Carter to start out as traditional DT - ochocincos - 04-30-2022
Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo said Zach Carter will start out as a traditional defensive tackle (3 tech). Noted his position verstality and ability to swing out to defensive end (5 tech).

While Carter has some position versatility, it looks like the Bengals want him to first focus on being a DT before potentially swinging outside.

Think its a great pick and love Carter's theory that him against a Guard on a passing down is a mismatch.

I think Carter had 16 sacks. He's a player from the SEC. I didn't know much about him but the Cincinnati Bengals have a good record on pick picking defense lineman later in the draft

I think the Carter pick is a reach. Now we are asking him to play a position he has not played much. Smells like Carman redux.
Hill is an A. CTB is a B (Dean). Carter is a C/D.

He MIGHT start out in the middle, but I think it's likely they will decide as the preseason goes forward exactly how they're going to initially use him..

All you armchair GMs are hilarious. You do a cursory analysis, and sometimes less, check some raitings and what talking heads are saying, then ignore what our coaches are doing/saying.
Gives me a helluva laugh every year.

I'd guess he's going to swing back and forth from DT to DE depending on who needs spelled and the down and distance in the game.
Unless he really shines at one spot.

ESPN had Carter with 17.5 sacks across his college career.
Sports Reference had him at 17.0.
Sack distribution by year according to Sports Reference:
2019:
0.5 vs Tennessee-Martin
1.0 vs Auburn
1.0 vs South Carolina
1.0 vs Vandy
1.0 vs FSU
2020:
1.5 vs South Carolina
1.0 vs Arkansas
0.5 vs UK
1.0 vs Tennessee
1.0 vs Alabama
2021:
3.0 vs Florida Atlantic
1.0 vs Tennessee
1.0 vs UK
0.5 vs LSU
0.5 vs Samford
1.5 vs Mizzou
While he did get some bloated stats (4.0 sacks) from FAU, Samford, and Tenn-Martin, he still got 12.0 sacks against the SEC and 1.0 against the ACC.
