"Obviously, Abdul, I think, would like to have those moments back and wish they didn't happen, Bullen said. But the thing I'll say is he's a young player learning the process of the NFL, and I think that's important for any player. He's in the middle, back half of his rookie season. So, he is still learning. But the one thing that I would say is moments like that that you wish didn't happen, I'm sure Abdul wishes they didn't happen."
"Interim head coach Mike Kafka has tried to instill a more rigid system since taking over for Brian Daboll, who was fired following a Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears. The former boss was far more loose with the No. 3 overall pick, perhaps out of desperation to keep his job. Ultimately, it didn't work, and Carter's penchant for being late or missing out on walkthroughs altogether forced Kafka's hand."
Rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter has been benched twice this season for missing practices and walkthroughs. A stricter team system was implemented after the prior coaching regime, resulting in accountability for the No. 3 overall pick. Carter sat the first defensive series in Week 13 against Green Bay and missed the entire first quarter in the Thursday-night loss to New England. Carter, a 22-year-old Penn State product, has since taken ownership publicly and within the building with teammates and coaches, and his response after both incidents has been characterized as strong and improving.
