Will Andre Carter Be A Bust??

I think archeleta (sp?) will be decent. he'll never live up to his contract, but he'll be good. ANDRE CARTER ON THE OTHER HAND...I just dont know. What do u guys think?

I'll give Carter the benefit of the doubt at the moment. Three games into his career as a Redskin and you are expecting big numbers from him? He hasn't played defensive end in like two years, give him some time to get his rythm back. Archuleta on the other hand, has been straight unimpressive. I was expecting him to be solid, but so far i've seen him on the wrong side of big plays. He looks like Roy Williams when he's in coverage. He's also whiffed on a couple tackles too.

well, we haven't had any kind of edge rusher since Kenard Lang left, and he wasnt all that great for us... another player that had to go elsewhere to get good...

I just hope we improve in the pass rush. we should've gotten to Carr more, but we'll see.

In a word, no. 4 percent body fat and a very smart cat. I have faith that rexi was using him improperly.

I think he isnt as good as the hype. I have said this before and i will say it again. I really believe that San Fran was onto something trying to make him play linebacker.

I think as the defense comes together, and the season wears on, Carter will begin to hit his stride. I think we expected to much from him out of the gates. When the season wears on other guys, his motor will start to give him an advantage. Also, if we can get a lead with the offense, and Springs gets back on defense, QBs will have to start holding the ball a little longer.

he has not been worth the money up til now. He can and needs to turn it around.

I would say that the question should be, "When will Andre Carter quit being a bust".

Archuletta has been a step backwards so far.

I'll give Carter the benefit of the doubt at the moment. Three games into his career as a Redskin and you are expecting big numbers from him? He hasn't played defensive end in like two years, give him some time to get his rythm back.

Big numbers? Maybe not. But three full games as a starter, including time in the preseason, and he hasn't got near the opposing quarterback? I know he was switched to linebacker at times in San Fransisco, but he most certainly did line up a defensive end from time to time within the last two years.

Check out my sig. If he was three games into his career as a pro, coming right out of college, then yes he would need time to adjust. But because he's three games into his career as a Redskin shouldn't mean he's forgotten everything he's learned after 4 years in the NFL.

Unless of course, he actually learned anything after 4 years. That remains to be seen.

The history with GW is that the D starts slow and builds momentum as the season goes on. It is a very heady defense and I think it takes a while before the players are acting without thinking about what they are supposed to be doing first.

Also, we are playing with a #2 & a #3 CB not a #1 & a #2. In Nickle, we are playing w/ a 2, 3 and 5.

Having Springs back will have a substantial impact across the board.
