Yeah I'm with Matty here. I've seen enough from Andre Carter to think that 10 sacks from him is normal now.

He finished 2006 with a bang, picked right up where he left off last year and never tailed off. This after being forced into a LB role in SF, one he was never really suited for, and having to relearn the DE position.

And once GW got the hell out of his way and allowed the DEs to get after the QB, that's when you saw the real Andre Carter come out.

Looking at Andre Carter's historical production isn't completely fair to him. His history includes a lot of misuse by coaches. When coaches use him right (allow him to rush the QB), he makes big plays. I don't see any reason to believe Blache will change that, and I think we can put another 10+ sack season in the bank because of it.

Dude's one of the more underrated DEs in the league.
