Re: Let's talk defense
To the Carter haters...I'm not going to come out and say he's the best DE in the league, however his first 2 assignments: Bryant McKinnie and Flozell Adams, both who run about 6'7", 6'8" and a double cheeseburger away from 345, 350. He's a speed guy, but those 2 are a lot of man to go around. Carter also leads all DLinemen in tackles right now. Plus, he played in a 3-4 as a hybrid LB/DE, and is learning the GW system. He should produce and will, given time.
The injuries in the secondary are the main piece to this puzzle. GW doesn't want to hang them out to dry, so he blitzes less and sit back 6, 7, 8 guys. Our DLine is capable, but has probably seen 2 of the better OLines in the league these past 2 weeks.
The defense needs to be more disciplined in tackling and their assignments, and GW needs to get off the basics and let guys like Archuletta, Taylor and Washington loose on blitzes.
