true, carpenter is a 4-3 outside linebacker, he needs the 4 defensive linemen to keep the offensive linemen off of him
i agree we passed on crom, and we could have crom and mcneil ot, but you cant look back,
i still have hopes for carpenter, what carpenter needs to do though is get in offeeason conditioning and bulk up some to take on block better and show that nasty streak he showed in college,
then you have to remember carpenter had a nasty thigh quad injury, really he should have had surgery that really set him back, and the cowboys have moved him around from inside linebacker to outside linebacker to rushing on defensive line, you cant get consistency that way, even carpenter said, if they dont quit moving him and give him a chance at one position he will be ticked off
now thats what he needs to show to be ticked off in offseasoning and build his strength up, I remember Parcells saying that Tom Landry showed him 3 main things, always give a player the benefit of the doubt, and give him until his 3rd year, if u remember gurode example, they kept moviing him from center to guard, finally left him alone at center and he excelled,
so wade philips is suppose to be this excellent defensive coordinator and superior defensive mind, let him find out where carpenter excells and let him play at that position, just give carpenter his time in offseason and preseason, then lets see where carpenter is by start of regular season
