carter

I know we put a rotation on the field now but shouldn't carter be part of that mix? he had one giant last preseason game. he covers well as per butler. he's got some speed. they also say all our LB'ers can play all the spots, so why wasn't he considered for the inside? would he help against te coverage like against cinci, if he can cover well. i'm sure he could blitz the middle too.

I know we have 3 youngsters learning in garvin, Williams, and the slightly older Wilson, and nothing against them, but shouldn't we consider him there? any thoughts?

 

Cincy exposed the vulnerability to Dbl TEs especially if the other team has a top flight reicver. If carter can cover with speed they might need him against Bennet.

 

I thought Carter was destined to be cut until he finally showed up in the last preseason game. He's been a disappointment quite honestly. He had a tremendous opportunity to step it up last year when Harrison was hurt and failed miserably. He's just a player destined for mediocrity and unfortunately the Steelers have too many of those this season.

 

Yeah but did Worilds do any better? I thought Worilds biggest success came on Woodley's side. Big difference I always thougth between facing a LT all the time vs facing a TE that you can get a quick step on.

 

Worilds showed flashes as a LOLB last year and you make a good point about LT vs RT. Worilds didn't fare as well on the right side.

 

i'm saying would carter be helpful at ILB?

with his coverage skills and butler talking about how all our LB'ers learn all the positions.

 

I see that preseason game he had as an exception rather than the rule. He's been here several years and this is the first time he's shown up and played like we expected. The show he put on just saved him for this season but I expect he will be gone next year.

 

how about garvin? we heard a lot of buzz about him from camp, he made the team, he's got some speed too. he may be a little light right now but, as a cover ILB, against teams like the bungals that have two good TE's wouldn't this make some sense?

 

i know you like williams, and so do i, but do you think they may be pushing to quickly to find that one guy before they try some other recipe's first? they all seem really talented, and i wish we would have known before foote was signed and used up cap money. wilson played well when used last week too. he had more tackles. i will say between the two they had a good amount of the tackles, yee haw. THAT is good news for us, just wondering what you think about the forcing one guy thing?

 

I am going to go with no...as I don't even think Carter should still be on the roster let alone the field.
