Eagles defensive tackle Carter is eager to step into a bigger role after Cox retired. He's excited to work with new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
“I’m ready to be better than last year,” Carter said.To be clear, there is only one defensive lineman on the Eagles’ roster younger than Carter, 22-year-old Moro Ojomo, a seventh-round pick last year. But there are some new faces in the room, and if you take out and Josh Sweat , it’s a pretty young and relatively inexperienced group. As far as those listed at defensive tackle, “I don’t think there’s anybody over 25 years old,” Carter said Wednesday afternoon.
Right now, they’re all in the same boat with a new face, Fangio, leading the defense, and another, Clint Hurtt, in charge of the defensive line. Carter spent some time recently in Miami working out, and spoke with a few Dolphins about their time with Fangio, who spent the 2023 season in Miami before departing. Fangiowhen he spoke with Philadelphia media for the first time earlier this month. Fangio acknowledged he’s an old-school coach, a description Carter said he identified with.
“It wasn’t how I wanted it to end,” he said. “There’s a lot of stuff on film that I need to fix. It’s OK. We’re here now and I’m ready to be better than last year.”
