Duron Cater Plays More Smooth In Last Preseason Game.

[Lawrence Owen]

Duron not only caught passes, but showed what he can do with a well placed pass while he is in stride.

 He also make a back shoulder catch that would have made Reggie proud.

Seems like he is getting more comfortable, and just having fun playing than worrying about the little things.  If he stays in this mode, he will be a good contributor.

I think the coaches must have told him..."You are on this team....settle down...and show us what you can really do."  He was a totally different player out there.  Granted, he was not playing against any strong press coverage.  That played into it as well.  All in all a great night to watch Duron!!

I thought Duron played well overall.  Some mistakes here and there such as running his route short of the first down marker on one of those sideline catches. Also running an out route against press coverage instead of doing a sight adjustment and going with the fade.  It was a single high safety look and he and Bennett were clearly on different pages.  Bennett was expecting him to run the fade.  All in all you could see from last nights game what Duron Carter could be and it was positive. He'll definitely make the team.

True, but you can see how he uses that big body to create an easy target. I can see him being a great possession receiver.

It's hard to look good with Hasselbeck and Bennett as your quarterbacks so kudos to him.

Yes and for example towards the end of the 4th quarter, the 3rd down play where Bennett throws at Duron but hits him at the knees. Ouch... That would have been a score if it was thrown higher.

Could be he knew he was getting extended playing time......guys loosen up in all sports when they aren't afraid of getting pulled at the first mistake or miscommunication.....or on a limited pitch count

[OffensivelyPC]

Good to see he's getting more comfortable out there.  He won't see much playing time this year, but I think that if he keeps progressing, he could end up being a 3rd WR or a redzone option in the future.

I havnt seen the last preseason game. But imo, once he makes the team he will be more relaxed and play naturally instead of thinking too much. He will begin to show his talent that he showed in CFL & practice. His potential upside and development is why he is a easy choice over someone like Whalen.

Not sure what you guys are seeing. He didn't look good at all. Dropped passes. Missed routes. 1 good catch and a couple of others but way more misses than positives

Shame too because he has the measurable a to be a star.

He was a bit, but not the whole game. He is our #5 WR and he was going against the Bengals #4 and #5 corners. So for what he will be doing for our team he was matched up on the right competition level.

Not sure what you are seeing either? I am not saying he is going to be the next Andre Johnson, but he had a very solid game last night. There was mistakes, but I thought he showed a lot more promise than any other receiver last night.

FO agrees with me.....   Carter did not earn anything

[John Dee]

EARN the key word..    he did not....  and I guarantee uou all the fact he is not a ST player is the reason.

Never said he earned anything, I thought you was talking about the Bengals game so was I. Many people thought he had a solid game that game and I agreed. I never said whether it was enough to make the roster or not. I figured he would of been the 5th receiver, but Whalen makes more sense giving his STs playing abilities. I really could care less one way or another.
