He's got to be disappointed, though. He's went from having the best year of his career (thanks largely to Haynesworth) to being a backup in a defense that doesnt fit him well. I admire his class in keeping his mouth shut and not becoming a problem, but i also feel pretty bad for the guy.

Word. I don't understand why they didn't work together to find him a great team still running the 4-3? He's such a physical phenom I think another 4 yrs of solid play is likely. Carter deserves to start (at 4-3 DE) and we should have gotten some value. Not the best work by our FO this yr.
