Dan Carpenter Named AFC Special Teams Player Of The Week: Miami Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter was named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for games of December 3, 6-7, it was announced today by the National Football League.
First Ted Ginn and now Carpenter. ST is much improved since last year even though the two winners were on the team last year. To me this shows improvement in both their play.
Our sp teams will be an integral part of winning from here on out. They have played great this year. Whenever your team is in constant close games a good punt, a play on sp teams, a clutch field goal can be the difference. Even against the pats, teddy's huge return after the pats score was huge.
congrats to carpenter. He's been huge all year long. irrelevant side note: how dumb do we look for not having Ginn returning kicks ever since he was drafted...
About to mention that very thing Anlgp, Ginn ST player of the month, DC$ ST player of the week, now if we can get some better production out of the Gunners. Jason Allen is slacking. And a great turnaround from the horror that was 2007 and 2008...
Hartline showed some serious intensity as a gunner vs the pats. He was a wilderbeast. But yeah more production from the gunners would always help. Couple turnovers too would be awesome.
Watch Carpenter follow thru on a field goal...He's holdin his pose like flushin a 7 iron...Dude is an excellent kicker...pro bowl mos def.
Pro Bowl caliber, but until Viniateri goes away, Carp will probably not make it... Being that Carpenter is tied for first in FG %, he should make it... But it's a popularity contest like the BCS
Congrats to Carp.... I was going to start a thread talking about how much better our ST play has been this year.... no need to now. Last year every time we kicked off or punted I was on pins and needles. This year I feel way more comfortable with our ST's.
