Why Carrington could have big year

[justasportsfan]

According to PFF, Carrington averaged a pressure every 10 pass rushes last season, and his 7.8 Pass Rush Productivity figure tied for the 10th-highest mark of any DT. He also blocked four field goals last season to set a franchise mark and finished 2012 with the highest PFF grade by a special teamer.

Would be good, since Kyle Williams is obviously on the decline, and the Bills need a younger player to push Dareus.

I think he will B a stud in new defense, He is an athlete

Don't know if he's on the decline since he's had foot problems (bone spurs)

Well, if Carrington can get his hands up like he does on field goals occasionally, maybe the LB's and DB's could get some easy tipped pick-six's?

Carrington is a beast

Carrington has been moved around too much, I hope this coaching staff can find the right position for him because he is a pretty good athlete. I believe he was originally drafted to be a 3-4 DE, then they made him a 3-4 OLB, then they switched to a 4-3 D and put him at both DT and DE. Hopefully they can find a settled position, switching positions all the time for a young guy really stunts their growth.

He could be a real good football player if he's good at football.

How's that for keen insight?

Bone spurs on both feet the last 2 years. Kyle said this is the best he has felt in a long time. I look for him to have a GOOD year.

Pettine said he wants to move all his players on defense around to confuse the other team. But he did say he is not going to waste a good pass rusher by dropping him in coverage very often.

Carrington is a tank. And he knows what to do along the line... GET YOUR FREAKING HANDS IN THE AIR. I've grown up for years listening to my dad scream at the TV and the field to "get their damn hands up." Look what JJ Watt does. If you can't reach the QB, you make sure he can't get the ball to the receiver. Rant over, Carrington should have a big role in this new defense.

There is where analytic and metrics get into trouble.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Did they check his Hand Use Effectiveness After Getting Hands Stepped On (HUEAGHSO) rating vs. his Hand Use Effectiveness After Not Getting Hands Stepped On (HUEANGHSO)rating metric?

-_- well played.

I thought we had fired Dave Pornstache.

It's funny to me how entities like PFF happen to find all these gems on one of the worst defenses in NFL history. This Bills defense was that bad last year, and the year before that, and so on. Carrington was a part of that no matter what his individual numbers may state. This Defense has a lot to prove before I start thinking this guy or that guy could be the answer. I don't think there is a single player that will make the difference. It will take improvement on a much broader scale than that. That's my opinion.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

out of wood/byrd/Carrington , Carrington is the one guy I want to keep the most. he can potentially be very dominant as an inside pass rusher and is entering his prime.

so when you were in the uterus, did your mother smoke crack, drink copious amounts of alcohol, or both?

she was a crack hoe for a Detroit guy named tyrone, so who knows........ pass rushers are always more valuable than dbs/centers. especially a safety. I think Carrington will be a " superstar" this year, which would justify my opinion. you on the other hand obviously demonstrated your lack of basic football knowledge. good job, once again...:bf1:

Don't know if he's on the decline since he's had foot problems (bone spurs)Agreed. He's still under 30 and the bone spur issue was something he's had, and played through, since his college days, until they (one in each heel) became unbearable. There's no particular reason to think that he's suddenly become injury prone and old.

Coaching, its all about the coaching and motivation. Good coaches get players to play through the pain. Piss ass poor coaching causes players excuse to do as little as possible and not risk injury. Seriously, if you thought you had a shot at a championship you'd bust your ass off regardless of how banged up you were. On the other hand, if you're looking to ride out the string so you can stay healthy until you can get to a better situation you are not going to risk it all or play at a high level. I think Pettine just might light the fire under this squad again.
