02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Cover-3 match 4-2-5 nickel scheme that emphasizes zone coverage principles and physical run support from safeties.
Strong SafetyDimebackerBox Safety
Best role
Immediate special teams ace and rotational strong safety who can develop into a reliable starter, providing stout run support and showing ability in zone coverage.
Wrong fit
A Fangio two-high system that demands primary pass coverage ability and range from its safety tandems.
Carpenter's size and tackling prowess make him a strong fit for run-heavy defenses, but his limitations in deep coverage will constrain his utility in pass-first schemes.
