Well, Carpenter is not a bust, we didn't know that G. Ellis was going to pan out the way he did at linebacker. The way I see it, he is going to contribute in a couple of years.

On a side-note about Carpenter I heard somewhere that Parcells liked Lawson better as a prospect but picked Carpenter because he is more pro-ready and you guys want to win now. Know anything about this and where I can read more about it?

Not on a Redskins site.

Carter has some talent, I think we've all seen it, but no one can do it by themselves. If the DL sucks, he will look poorly too. If the DL steps up a little, then Carter will look better.
As far as Carter getting a sack and some hurries....he NEEDS to. We need him to step up. I just don't see it.
ps- Romo is overrated.

We don't need Carter to step up, we need to be able to prevent QBs from doing so.

Yeah, which means we need our d-line to step up to stop them from stepping up. It all starts with pressure. Any QB in the league can pick any team apart when they have all day to throw it.

So what you're saying is that when I was clammoring for more DT depth in the offseason, I wasn't talking out of my ass?

And to think I tried so hard...

Seriously though, Montgomery and Golston have played well for rookies. But in this defense, well is not good enough. You need to manhandle the O-line.

Wow. So that's it? Andre Carter officially gets a pass because the defensive tackles aren't getting pressure?

What happened to the notion that Carter was supposed to provide some pressure of his own?

I think that a defensive end's performance and production is in fact, to a large extent, contingent upon the performance of the DTs. I think that is especially true when you are talking about a speed-rushing end who is trying to beat OTs around the edge.

I guess we'll have to see in the coming weeks. Hopefully, Griffin and Salave'a start getting inside pressure. If so, I'm confident Carter's production will increase. Perhaps I'll be proven wrong and you'll be proven right.

I'm not giving him a free pass by any means, but the argument that the DTs aren't doing much to help holds merit.

He has done a better job in the past few weeks at creating some pressure.

dmek25 · 11-03-2006, 03:32 PM

it seems to me carter lets himself get engaaged with the bigger offensive lineman. then the battle is over. i have rarely seen him try to use the speed rush.

dall-assblows · 11-03-2006, 03:35 PM

it really looks like romo has just been lucky up to this point, IMO

skinsfan69 · 11-03-2006, 03:36 PM

Carter could get a sack. Hell anyone can get one frickin sack. How about consistency and production? They should play Wynn on run downs and Carter on pass. That's making the best out of a bad situation. Who has a worse right side in the NFL than the Skins? Carter and Holdman = a lot of rushing yards for the other team.

MTK · 11-03-2006, 03:37 PM

Great post SGG.

With no push up the middle QBs can easily step up and deliver. We need that push up the gut to prevent QBs from being able to do that and only then will the sacks come from the outside rush of Carter.
