Why Cowboys' Bruce Carter is finally living up to his draft position

[Carolina Cowboy]

I think Lee would benefit from not playing the middle, let McClain do that and have and Carter and Lee play the outside positions.

I sooooo want to see a LB corps of Carter, McClain and Lee, but.... Will it happen?

“His whole thing is it’s never been physical attributes, it’s never been athletic ability,” Eberflus said. “Now he’s getting his eyes in the right spot. His eye focus and his eye discipline, where to look and what to look for, and that’s why you see him playing quicker. He looks instinctive. He looks better. But it’s really eye discipline.

“The formations tell you where to look, and now he’s starting to understand, if I key this, boom, it’s I’m on the ball now. He’s worked at it. The light has turned on for him in terms of that, and he’s able to go out there and play and now you’re starting to see his given ability. Now he’s starting to make plays within the perimeter of the defense, which is really good to see, and I’m glad for him.”

Carter said over the last month, everything has come together for him.

“When you can read your keys faster, the game slows down and it allows you to play faster,” Carter said. “So you don’t want to see a lot of things. You want to see one thing and focus on that and go. When you see a lot of things, you play slow. I’ve really been focusing on that and that just comes from watching film and his coaching, showing me what I need to be watching.”

It's still difficult to understand why he looked really good at the beginning of the season and then went into a funk in the middle of the season only to look really good at the end of the season.

Its either Carter or Mcclain next season for me, cant pay too much when most of the times theres only 2 LBs on the field

Not sure if that was autocorrect or just a mistype. Either way, Durant was uninspiring to say the least.

He was good against the run terrible in coverage. At the WILL postion where you need to be a good coverage backer. He was awful at SAM last year

 

[darthseinfeld]

I dont see any of our LBs getting a long term deal anywhere. Too much of a mixed bag from them and teams dont overpay for 4-3 LBs

We got Durant on a 2 year deal and he was coming off a career year

Whatever Carter is doing, he needs to teach Wicox. Wilcox is the safety version of Carter. Has all the athletic ability but doesn't see the play developing in front of him quickly and makes dumb mistakes.

With all the Technology available........one would think there would be a training method for players to just sit in a unit with tape rolling them thru scenariors.......almost like a flight simulator ps3 hybrid where they read and react to what is coming at them time after time.
