5 Wide Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Another bright spot of the night I thought was Carrington. The guy looks physically imposing and seems to still have some good speed to his game. A guy who can move at 310 coming off the edge is going to be interesting to watch. He should be able to physically dominate TE's who try to block him and cause some havoc in the run game as well. Here's to hoping anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outsidethebox Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I love how he bull rushed the tackle on his sack. He did some working out over the off season. Shows me he wants to play this year, at the least he will be very good depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 He started playing well after Chicago put in their second team. Before that, he did not do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 He started playing well after Chicago put in their second team. Before that, he did not do anything. Not for nothing but their starters played about 7 plays. I was interested to see this lb experiment and was pleasantly suprised with the results. It will be interesting to see if he can do it against starter level talent but he wasn't really given the opportunity to last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan74 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Looks like he is developing maybe by the end of the year he will be a steady contributor on the D-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsObserver Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Wait, I didn't see Carrington against CHI's first team. They were only in for 7 plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Carrington's sack was from the OLB position. He looked much improved from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoner7 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 another reason why you can't judge a player based on his rookie season. I thought he had a great rookie year in limited action. I was very suprised he didnt play a lot more when Edwards went down. In fact, Edwards went down in the Steeler game and Carrington came right in and had a good QB pressure and a sack on back to back plays. Im expecting a lot from Carrington. Troup, not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troup, not so much Troup will be fine. He got some double teams and pushed the pocket. He's not a penetrator. Nice batted down pass. The club on his hand didn't help. Tough to shed blocks with that thing on. Edited August 14, 2011 by Green Lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starting oline played the 1st half Yes my mistake I watched the game with no volume last night @ a bar so when cutler came out I thought all the starters came out. It wasn't. Until I watched it on dvr this morning that I saw that. Thank you for pointing it out so kindly.... That said back to my original point I am very intrigued to see a 303lb linebacker. I would assume hell rush more than drop and it'll be more a part of their hybrid d but wow that is an impressive feat if he can pull it off.

Troup, not so much I thought so too but many here did not and had little or no expectation. I also think Troup will contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I told people this last year when they were freaking out about Carrington...... Physically....the guy is an absolute beast.....he isnt just a big wide body run stop guy he was an extremely large country strong type who was athletic and could move.....he just needed technique work at 280 pounds then he shows up this year at 305, just as fast, and looks like he has put in some work on his pass rush and leverage technique....THIS IS WHY HE WAS DRAFTED.....not for what he would do for us last year but for what he had te abilility to evolve into And he isnt done......this defense is fricken scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy's from a small school. I think he'll work his way into the starting lineup at some point this year. And, like many D-linemen, it will probably take until his 3rd year to really break out.
