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

Re: Expect Andre Carter to Pressure Romo

When you watched these previous games did you notice if what they are saying about him on the run is true?

Re: Expect Andre Carter to Pressure Romo

Reasonable people can disagree, I guess. Certainly, Griffin and Salave'a aren't getting the penetration they once did. But when the defensive tackles are creating havoc and exploding through the center of the line, then they'd be the one with more sacks, not the ends. Throughout the league though, that isn't typically the case. D-ends have always collected more sacks.

Not only that, in a 4-3 defensive alignment, defensive tackles are taking on three blockers, while the ends are generally only matched up against one each.

Either way, the word now is that Andre Carter was probably better suited for linebacker, the position he was moved to in San Francisco. Looks like that was right. I can tell you this -- when checking Carter's stats after he signed here, and realizing that he averaged 4.5 sacks a year over his career, no one, including me, anticipated a "monster" coming for the quarterback. But this front office apparently did.

But he isn't even an occasional threat to the QB. And I'm not expecting any sort of miraculous explosion through the line from Griffin and Salave'a, either. From the very beginning, I viewed Salave'a as a stop-gap; a nice find who'd be good in rotation, but now he's a permanent starter, and we're witnessing about what I expected from him. Griffin was a pleasant surprise in year one as a Redskin coming off a so-so career in New York. Sooner or later, he was going to need help, and a dropoff from him was inevitable.

I just wish Gibbs, Snyder and Cerrato saw that.

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?

Re: Expect Andre Carter to Pressure Romo

let me say this one more time...i think i have posted this at least three times...i think SF was on to something by trying to convert carter to a LB. Flozell owned AC in game one. i hope i am wrong about carter but there is only so far you can go on your father's coat tails. because at this point thats what he is riding daddy's coat tails. he, AC, has one good season in his career period.

Re: Expect Andre Carter to Pressure Romo

then lets zone blitz on carters side, and let him drop back into coverage. we desperately need pressure on the QB today
