The PA TD the Rams got was a lot on AC because off the PA he was frozen and allowed Bradford to get the angle to the End Zone where Hall was forced into a no-win decision (which Hall made too early). As I review the game I am constantly seeing AC making mistakes.

Yes please. Great post.
I wanted Alexander promoted and Carter benched back in preseason. It is painful to watch Carter. Carter is useless other than pass rushing. Against the run or in coverage he is terrible. The sad thing is he is not showing any improvement. This has been his problem throughout his career. This is not something new. We were originally drawn to him because of his sack his high numbers. His general football instinct is not very high.
How long does Hasslett keep going with something that is not working. Hell, Dockery got benched and he was not playing as bad as Carter. I don't get it. I guess Carter's sack number from last year is going a long way this year to keeping him on the playing field. PLus I know he is big and tall and fast in a straight line to QB. But the guy gets faked out way too much by runners and his brain is not made for thinking on the fly like a 3-4 LB needs to do. Time to go another direction.
