| The signing of Wallace is a little more puzzling because the Lions seem happy with versatile OL Dylan Gandy. Conspiracy theorists believe that his addition, based upon his having previously played with the New York Jets (the Lions opponents in three weeks) this season, could be motivated by the Lions pre-game preparation for the Jets and their hopes that he could provide additional assistance in that regard.
I guess I would place Carpenter into the Lawrence Jackson department of Lions player development, there is chance each of them could be beneficial, or just as likely, they could become organizational “fool’s gold” (see Edwards,football uniforms, Kalimba), helping little. The Lions Take a Flyer On LB Bobby Carpenter, OL Cody Wallace October 21, 2010 on 2:36 pm | In Uncategorized | The Lions Added Former Cowboys First Rounder,nfl jerseys on sale, Bobby Carpenter The fact that Carpenter is a free agent at this time, doesn’t entirely bode well for how much help he may be able to eventually provide, though. Carpenter has already played for the Rams and Dolphins this season. That being said, the Lions have seemingly gotten lucky turning around talented players who have not risen to expectations elsewhere in the NFL (Alphonso Smith, Turk McBride, Chris Houston). The Hirsute Carpenter Resembles This Cartoon Legend Carpenter did start two games this year for the Dolphins, but apparently a couple of costly special teams errors, which led to the termination of the Dolphins special teams coach, were his undoing there. --> The fact is, Carpenter has never had more than 37 solo tackles in one season, during his stint in the NFL. With the Lions, I believe he will be asked to be productive on special teams and could likely play in Lions nickel coverage packages. The Lions were certainly in the market for some more depth at linebacker, entering their bye week. With yesterday’s signing,cheap nfl jerseys, of former Cowboys first rounder Bobby Carpenter, whose NFL pedigree (his father played RB for the Bill Parcells New York Giants) may have originally caused his readiness for the NFL to be inflated, the Lions may have found someone who could help them. |
