http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/1508 Recent articles about Andre Carter en-us Defensive end Andre Carter recently said there was no potential for division to develop in the Redskins' locker room over the fact that the defense has mostly performed well and the offense has struggled. Wide receiver Santana Moss agreed. "We're not that kind of team," Moss said. "I feel that every weekend we go out there with the intent to win, still with a 3-7 record. We go out there knowing that we're just a play here and there, a drive here and there, from bein...

I asked Carter if he feared things would become strained between the offensive and defensive players after Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The offense again struggled while producing only two field goals and wasting another strong effort by the defense. Carter expressed confidence the players and coaches would remain united because "negativity only ...

Redskins defensive end Andre Carter has eight sacks, rookie defensive end/strong-side linebacker Brian Orakpo has seven and Cowboys starting right tackle Marc Colombo is sidelined for the remainder of the season because of a broken left fibula.

For example: he broke the Redskins rookie sack record, but he did it after the team's PR staff and a large chunk of the media contingent had already gone down to the locker room. So there was no announcement of the feat -- in either the press box OR the stadium.Which also meant that the press didn't realize there was anything specific to discuss with the rookie, so he...

Yes, it had been that long since a solid triumph - back to last December against Philadelphia. And absolutely, it had been that long since a win of any kind - Oct. 4 against Tampa Bay.

Brian Orakpo came into this game leading all NFL rookies with 5.5 sacks -- trailing Carter by one for the team lead. The Broncos, meanwhile, had allowed 13 sacks all year.

The group -- which included Jason Campbell, Albert Haynesworth, London Fletcher, Andre Carter, Fred Smoot, Brian Orakpo, Santana Moss, Malcolm Kelly and many others -- spent part of Veterans Day talking to and signing autographs for the men and women from the District's Southeast Veterans Service Center.

That much was made clear to me earlier in the season, when he got his first sack and immediately explained how little he cared, because it came in a loss. The point was re-emphasized today in Mike Wise's column in the Washington Post, which featured this little locker room vignette:Brian Orakpo's baritone voice emoted a one-word expletive in the corner of the locker room, so thunderous many of his teammates turned around."I'm tried of this...

If Carter isn't a threat to improve on his 2007 season, and attack the passer with more consistency, not just against weaker tackles, he's no guarentee to play for the Redskins beyond 2008.
