ESPND: Bruce Carter much better than Rob Ryan thought
Nov 16
3:54 PM CT By Tim MacMahon | ESPNDallas.com IRVING, Texas – Rob Ryan has never been shy to predict great things for one of his players, but even the Cowboys defensive coordinator didn’t see this coming from Bruce Carter. The second-year inside linebacker has played pretty well all season, but he’s emerged as a star since Sean Lee’s season-ending injury. “I never thought he’d have the ascension that Sean Lee did, but he has,” Ryan said. “I mean, he has. That’s the bottom line. This guy has become a hell of a football player right in front of our eyes this season. “I wouldn’t have predicted that. Absolutely not. But he is a tremendous football player. He’s playing as fast as his great athleticism allows him to play. He’s smart. He works hard. He’s with (linebackers coach Matt) Eberflus all the time.

He was been really awesome, and gentlemen we have the best LB crew in quite a while at the disposal of Rob Ryan. This could be fun! Carter's would be a great jersey to get... Hmmmm....

We've all heard nothing but great things about Carter since he was drafted. None of his success surprises me. Not soon but next year we have the best ILB's in the league.
This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray, Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8. |

I hope he can stay healthy. He is a absolute beast and probably the fastest LB in the NFL.

Haven't been this excited about a player in a while. I love Lee. Outside of Romo, he's ours 2b best player. But this kid, he could be really special.

I do think a lot of the credit has to go the LB coach, Eberfluss. The notion that Carter was fast and could chase plays down in space was well known. I think his instincts and physicality in the run game were in doubt until this season but he seems to have put those notions to rest.
I don't think the stellar play of Lee and Carter is some fluke - scouts and coaches both did their jobs on those two guys. |

IMO Carter will end up being the player we expect Lee to be.
I hope Lee gets through the injuries and can put together a few good seasons, but right now it's been disappointing. I love Lee's contribution so far I just think the team needs to add ILB depth just in case. |
