Audio: Carp keeps it real on The Herd - 1/19/09

[InmanRoshi]

I know a lot of fans just hate this guy, but he does this really well.

He's the next Trev Alberts.

Bobby Carpenter audio thread is going strong!

The kid has star power I tell ya!

And it's unwarranted IMO. He's earned playing time, Wade just hasn't given it to him.


Was the best defensive player on the field his rookie year in the playoff game vs the Seahawks.

Was the best LB in camp (ILB) last training camp (Zach Thomas' words).


And Wade has rewarded him with absolutely no playing time.


I know a lot of people hate him, but if they were in his shoes they'd be PO'd that they weren't getting the playing time they've earned.

I don't buy it. Why in the world would any coach just refuse to put a guy on the field if that player could get his job done?

It just doesn't make sense. Wade has no reason to dislike Bobby and hold him out. Bobby just isn't that good of a player.

If Bobby could handle his own, Dallas wouldn't even have went out and picked up Thomas in the 1st place.

I think it's pretty obvious Bobby Carpenter was Werder's one player "rat."

Which is good news. Cutting him is addition by subtraction.

Very obvious....

Its the Witten, Carpenter , Sexton connection are obviously the ones.

Whatever Bobby has to do to divert attention from him being a 'finesse' slug is what he has to do.

Everyone talks about the Seattle game like he was flying all over the field making plays. I just remember him keeping his contain and making a few open field tackles. Its not like he was knocking the ball loose or jumping routes, or sacking the QB. He played an okay game for an NFL LB. Which he has proved, he will never be.

How has he "earned" it? I would love to hear your explanation.

Me too.

 

[InmanRoshi]

Every time I've focused on him in a preseason game he's looked horrible.

 

[xWraithx]

Right over your head bro.

That's the exact reason I did it.

Get it now?

what was over my head? your joke about theogt flip-flopping?

Was it really that funny?

I mean I could see one, but six? Maybe I'd even be more accepting of 2.5 or 4.2

 

[Jon88]

I'm going to feel bad for him after he gets cut and has to get a job where they make him earn his money. That will be a rough adjustment.

Wait a minute...no I won't.

Based on last year's training camp. He was the best LB in training camp.


In a perfect world you'd get your playing time opportunities based on what you do in practice. If he was practicing better then any other LB in camp last year then he's earned SOME playing time.
I didn't say he deserved to start. I said he deserved playing time. And he does.

You're basing all that off of one Zach Thomas quote?

I read daily reports, and was all over last years training camp and don't particularly remember hearing about Carp at all.
