Bobby Carpenter catching on

No player gets more grief than Bobby Carpenter. A first-round pick in 2006, Carpenter has not developed into the player the Cowboys hoped he would, but he has done some good things this year in the nickel and dime packages.

He's not the physical, brute, stout linebacker but he can run and is good in space.

When he defended Atlanta's Tony Gonzalez two weeks ago the tight end didn't catch a pass. Last week Carpenter had a big sack in the second quarter vs. Seattle and finished with a career-high six tackles according to the coaches' breakdown.

"Well certainly he's playing more and now he's playing better and better," coach Wade Phillips said. "That's whatever the perception, the reality is ... But yeah, he's been solid in a lot of areas and now he's made some plays, and that's what you're looking for in any player. He had to fight to get a role. He's done that."

And now that something positive has been written about Carpenter, let the bashing begin.

If the Cowboys let him walk I hope the Browns give him a look. He has to be better than the stiffs they have. One way Lerner could make the fans happy would be to have more Buckeyes on the team and stop drafting ass clowns like Winslow, Edwards, and Quinn. I'm sure Bobby will sign with the Steelers and be awesome.

Eagles aware of Bobby Carpenter

The recent productive play by Dallas Cowboys linebacker Bobby Carpenter caught the attention of Philadelphia offensive coordinator Marty Morhinweg.

``He's very good,'' Morhinweg said. ``He's made a couple of real good tackles with a blocker right there. He's playing at a high level, and they are putting him in situations that are his strength.''

Carpenter, credited with participating in eight tackles and one sack in the last two games, plays primarily in the pass-coverage sub-package. He has played a large role in limiting top-shelf tight ends in the last two games. Atlanta's Tony Gonzalez and Seattle's John Carlson combined for only seven catches.

it'll be interesting to see if he gets on to a College TV show when his playing days are over because he sure gets onto ESPN a lot to talk football even though he hasn't been as productive as some of the other players on his team. Happy to see Carp coming around in production! The play that'll always stand out to me about his playing days will be the sack he had on Drew Tate which lead to Tate spiking the ball.

I had no idea who Laurinaitis was before Bobby got injured(this was right before I started following recruiting). Fun looking back at those things.
