Carriker made a comment the other day that was on RI - he say early on he was worried too much about gap discipline & reading the play. He said late in the year he realized he could keep his gap responsibility AND make the play. He really looked good late in the year.
Coming out of college he was a DE that many thought could rush the passer. Not a 10+ sack guy but a guy that could get 7-8 in his best year while playing solid run defense. He showed flashes of that late in the year getting into the backfield more. I actually wonder if his "fight" w/Jarmon lit a fire in him. I see him keeping his starting job as long as he's healthy.
