If he (or the NT) decides to go for personal glory at the expense of his assignment, the entire D will risk giving up a big play.

The one thing a 3-4 CANNOT do is allow the opposing OL to move them. Hence, plugging in weak ass players like Golston into the 3-4 DE role often results in disaster.

You know I always liked Carriker, but watching him snap in and snap out and only seeing him get pushed back on one snap makes me love him even more. I don't think enough people appreciate how strong he is.

That isn't his game. I mean the guys 311 pounds. He's great at what he's suppose to do which is basically stonewall people at the line of scrimmage and help collapse the pocket. Keep in mind, just because he's a DE doesn't mean he's going to move like Dwight Freeny. In essence he's a DT that plays a little wide.
