Carter is miles and miles beyond last year, but I still can't just turn a blind eye to the glaring flaws in his game.

As far as sacks go, his production speaks for itself. I just feel that there is more a defensive end has to do than run up field all the time, and Carter is lacking that. I hold out hope that he can improve in run defense as well as develop a solid second pass move to ensure that QBs stay contained in the pocket.

For every sack, there's three plays where he is ten yards upfield doing no good, and that's the knock on him.
