Pittsburgh Review

This week's Classic Jurassic Meat-Eater Matchup highlights a notable encounter in Philadelphia, where the Steelers face a challenging history, having not secured a victory there since 1965. The spotlight is on Jalen Carter, an impactful player for the Eagles.

Jalen Carter stands at 6-foot-3 and weighs 314 pounds. Known for his quickness and strength at the point of attack, he effectively uses good hand placement and maintains a low pad level. Carter is skilled at holding his position and can handle double teams efficiently.

In pass-rushing scenarios, Carter employs an arm-over swim technique combined with a powerful uppercut to target the outer third of his opponent. His speed allows him to be effective both as a penetrator on stunts and as a trailer.

Carter's stats include 4.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, and 15 QB hits. He demonstrates proficiency in close-quarter combat on the field.

Comparisons have been drawn between Carter and Jerome Brown, another formidable Eagles defensive lineman who played five years before his untimely passing. Like Brown alongside Reggie White, Carter forms a strong duo with Jordan Davis for the Eagles.

The upcoming game against the Steelers will test this pairing once again, continuing a historical pattern noted by observers.
