Expect Andre Carter to Pressure Romo

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 11-03-2006, 03:51 PM

I am going to go out on a limb (perhaps a brittle one at that) and predict that Andre Carter will collect at least one sack on Tony Romo and will get a few QB hurries. Please feel free to ridicule me if I am proven wrong.

I went back and watched this year's Redskins games to try to figure out why Andre Carter isn't collecting more sacks. I've noticed that Carter, a speedy end-rusher, has been going wide on most passing downs. Carter usually ends up going too wide. Why? Because our DTs have been getting little, if any, pressure on the interior of opposing offensive lines. Opposing quarterbacks have been able to step up into the pocket, avoid Carter, and complete passes.

With a (relatively) healthy duo of Griffin and Salave'a, I expect our DTs to get more inside pressure. Moreover, with a healthy secondary, I expect our coverage to hold up a little longer than it has in recent weeks. Although Romo is a mobile quarterback, I fully expect the presence of two health DTs and two healthy CBs to help Carter apply pressure from the outside.

i sure hope so

I agree with almost everything you have said.

I also think he will get one sack, but I think be a fluke. I don't expect him earning a sack.

He will get a sack, bc he will be pressed by our DTs, and Romo will run out to a side, and Carter will sack him.

Carter better line up wide to use his speed rush! If big ass Flozell gets his paws on him, it's over!

To reiterate what I said above (in different words), great speedy pass rushers usually have good DTs inside who apply pressure. Carter is not a bull-rusher, he relies on his speed and ability to beat OTs around the edges. Without inside pressure, his speed is useless. To date, Carter has been given NO help from our DTs.

hooskins · 11-03-2006, 04:05 PM

I think Carter was a big bust, almost as big as Arch.

But because of his switch back to line, and a different D, I think he will start showing some life at the end of this year. I think we will have a different opinion about him next year.

Yeah I think that is true.

In my view, I am just saying that Carter will get a sack, based more off the other players. You are saying that as well, but I think Romo will have no where to go for one play, except into Carter.

I expect only that one moment, and the rest of the game Carter will be sucking.

I think he can make some plays if he's moved around a bit as he has been the past couple weeks. Sure hope he finds a comfort zone.

Was he overpaid? Yes. Is he a bust? No.

We knew exactly what we were getting from him when we signed him, a speedy end-rusher. We knew that he wasn't going to bull-rush a 340 OT (e.g. Flozell Adams). We seemingly thought that our DTs would provide pressure on the inside and Carter would provide pressure from the outside. Carter has been beating OTs on the edges, but that doesn't mean squat when opposing QBs have simply been able to move the pocket up in the middle because our DTs aren't getting inside pressure.

I guarantee you that once our inside D-linemen start applying pressure, Carter will get a lot more QB pressures and sacks.

NOTHING would make me happier than to see our D have that jailbreak, swarming, smothering style we all expected this season

The area in which I do think Carter sucks is against the run. He's getting plowed by big OTs.

Kinda like your 1st round pick Bobby Carpenter. How's he doing? What about Fabini? I heard he's really shored up your O-line about as much as Marcellus Wiley helped out your Dline.

WOOOOOOOOOW! GOOD ONE SHERIFF!

Just for everyone's viewing pleasure, Bobby Carpenter has not started a single game, has been inactive for three games (apparently, he's not good enough for special teams), and has yet to record a single tackle.
