http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/1495 Recent articles about Bobby Carpenter en-us Every time it looks like Green Bay is making some strides offsensively, the Cowboys defense comes up with a play. Bobby Carpenter ended this drive with a sack - his second of the season and a career high - but before that Anthony Spencer had another tackle for a loss and a second-down blitz forced an Aaron Rodgers' incompletion. Now, can the offense do anything?

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...

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 wit...

Carpenter asked. Actually 37. His last sack came on Dec. 16, 2006 at Atlanta when he had 1.5 sacks of Michael Vick. On Sunday Carpenter sacked Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck for a 6-yard loss on a key third-down play with the score 14-10 in the second quarter. "I've been saving them up," Carpenter joked. "It's exciting obviously. I...

Carpenter had gone 37 games without a sack. His last and only career sacks came against Atlanta in his rookie season.

Carpenter timed the snap perfectly and got to Hasselbeck before he could complete his drop or allow running back Justin Forsett could pick him up. The play resulted in a punt, giving the offense a chance to pad the lead before the half. In the wild-card loss to Seattle in 2006, Carpenter had five tackles, a tackle for a loss and three pass breakups. It was just he second...

But I can't give Carpenter too much credit. Seattle RB Justin Forsett missed the block.

Although that's true, Sensabaugh wasn't the only player who gave Gonzalez fits. Nickel LB Bobby Carpenter also had a hand in holding the future hall of famer to only four catches for 37 yards. "He didn't catch a pass when Bobby covered him," Wade Phillips said. "In fact, he didn't hardly get off the line very well. Bobby did a good job against...

Two of the receptions were on the first two plays from scrimmage. Since then, he's got two catches for 26 yards. While the Cowboys haven't used the same "bracket" coverage (a defender on each side of Gonzalez) much of the game, they have done a good job of taking him out of the mix. Bobby Carpenter jammed him up at the line regularly on passing situations. Gerald Sensabaugh and O...

In the Cowboys' nickel package, linebacker Bobby Carpenter draws the assignment against Gonzalez. He's had success by simply holding him up at the line. Gonzalez couldn't run a route on third down play and instead QB Matt Ryan threw underneath to Eric Weems, who almost ran into Gonzalez and was stopped for a short gain.

Yes. His Eye. But, as of yet, no one knows how he got poison ivy in his eye.

To date, he has not impressed anyone. But this year, those who have had inside looks of him at camp say he is pushing hard and looking good.
