Re: Andre Carter: has he shed his bust status?

I think one problem has been that Daniels has been nicked all year. I think he is barely playing right now. But with his age he is simply a run stopper who can give us maybe 5 a year. If PD is healthy I think Carter has a little more chance to make plays since they can't just focus on stopping him. Neither is going to be a 15 sack guy but I do think we could get 15 sacks from them both total.
