UNC Coach Hints LB Will Return Strong

There’s a reason Jerry Jones isn’t bothered by drafting players who are either injured now, or have been in the past, or maybe a combination of both.

The businessman in Jerry Jones is always looking for a bargain, and when it comes to the draft, the word is usually value.

He’s done with several players in the past and this year’s example was Bruce Carter, who suffered a torn ACL in November and will be hard-pressed to be 100 percent by the start of training camp. However, there were early draft projections that had Carter going in the middle of the first round, had it not been for the injury.

And that’s the value Jerry is looking for, especially if he can return to speed, if not faster. The one drawback to that is the lockout, which prevents Carter from being here at Valley Ranch right now working with some of the best trainers in the NFL, especially when it comes to rehab assignments.

But even Carter’s college coach at North Carolina, Butch Davis, had some positive things to say about Carter in terms of getting himself ready to play...

Bruce Carter is a hard worker and a special player... He'll be ready for the 2011 season.

You are a true fan...and I like and respect that in you.:starspin
 
Hey, I was a linebacker back in my Collegiate days. I really like this 'rook,' and also wouldn't mind for Rob Ryan trying to go for Upshaw this next season as well.
 
I feel good about this pick and think he may end up outside in 2012 if Spencer doesnt show better than last year.
 
I'm happy with the Carter selection and while it would be great if our trainer could work with him during his rehab he appears to be in good hands at NC where the training staff their is still working with him

I do think that exists as a possibility, but I also think Spencer is going to be a lot better than people realize.
 
The only thing I don't like about his game is that it seems he let too many guys bounce off of him.

I expect big things from many of the slackers.

Bennett, Spencer, Jenkins are all in for a rude awakening this camp. They haven't been through a non-Wade camp it's probably not going to be fun for them.
 
Carter is the wrong body type and doesn't have the style to play outside on the strong side.
