What happened to the notion that Carter was supposed to provide some pressure of his own?

I think that a defensive end's performance and production is in fact, to a large extent, contingent upon the performance of the DTs. I think that is especially true when you are talking about a speed-rushing end who is trying to beat OTs around the edge.
I guess we'll have to see in the coming weeks. Hopefully, Griffin and Salave'a start getting inside pressure. If so, I'm confident Carter's production will increase. Perhaps I'll be proven wrong and you'll be proven right.
