2. 3 step drop and a quick pass right? Had it been a longer developing play...
3. He had the inside gap which he was in Lewis Harris and the linebacker had the outside gap. Would have been an amazing play by hunt in the inside gap with the OT on his outside shoulder keeping him from stretching that arm.
4. Double teamed first by the OT then the TE.
5. Hunt initially won but the TE had a nice recovery great play by the TE.
6. Hunt made a backside tackle and Dawson stonewalled the RB. That was a positive play by both defenders.
7. Beat the OT and missed the tackle in the backfield positive and negative.
8. Nice rush by Carter definitely talented at it but what about playing 3 down linebacker or as a 3 down DE. More to football than pass rushing. can he hold up against the run as a DE? Can he drop and cover TEs and slot receivers as a 4-3 OLB?

1. Oh lord....it wasn't very nice. It was a bad play by the DE
2. Horse shoes and hand grenades.
3. That's poor gap discipline. He got completely washed out. 
4. OT never blocks him.
5. Wasn't great, but didn't have to be. Hunt has to stop and think what to do.
6. Unblocked. That's my point. His good plays are largely this variety.
7. That was a TE. Nice try though. 
8. That's why they make subpackages. Carter only has to contribute on passing downs to be valuable. It's the most important thing a defender can do right now. If Carter only sees 10 snaps as a pure pass rusher a week,  that's a win.
