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?

Re: Will Andre Carter Be A Bust??
 

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.

Re: Will Andre Carter Be A Bust??
 

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.

Re: Will Andre Carter Be A Bust??
 

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.

Re: Will Andre Carter Be A Bust??
 

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.

Re: Will Andre Carter Be A Bust??
 

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.

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.

Re: Will Andre Carter Be A Bust??
 

If you look around the league, there are very few teams that can consistently get pressure from the front four. Jacksonville does it. Dallas is getting better at it. The Giants are hit and miss. One week they look like the fearsome foursome and the next they mail it in. Then there is the odd single player like Freeney who can do it on their own. It seems to be getting really tough to do. I will be happy if he can play the run well. We'll get our pressure with blitzes, especially when Springs gets back. Remember too that Philip Daniels came on with a big push late last year. I'd rather have these guys save something for December.

Re: Will Andre Carter Be A Bust??
 

Once Springs comes back and the defense becomes more aggressive I think Andre will get more opportunities to pin the ears back and go. They will start overloading his side of the field with blitz packages and/or vice versa and he will get his chances.

But he did line up at DE for us at time to time, more so as the season went on. Basically 'Dre has had one season where he looked like the real deal. He needs to wake up fast, or I would think his starting job will be yanked.

4% body fat = dead. just thought it's worth mentioning.
