The Pro Football Weekly 2011 draft guide described Salas this way: “Confident, scrappy, tough, physical football player who made a killing executing speed outs, underneath routes and seam routes in Hawaii’s field-stretching system. Lacks ideal slot suddenness but is a savvy, effective zone beater with sure hands and could carve a similar niche as Jason Avant.”
With Carpenter’s release, the Patriots’ linebacker corps looks like this: Starters: Mayo (weakside), Brandon Spikes (middle), Hightower (strongside) Backups: Mike Rivera (middle), Tracy White (weakside), Rob Ninkovich (statring end who could play linebacker) This group looks a bit thin, although the Patriots have also been using safeties Tavon Wilson and Nate Ebner in linebacker-type roles in often-used sub packages.

You could even throw Jermaine Cunningham in at SLB in a pinch. The Pats will be fine without Carpenter, I was kind of surprised that we all had him easily on the 53-man roster. I just figured there was a special teams spot for him. Guess not.

New England Patriots’ 53-man roster reflects defensive overhaul entering 2012 regular season – ESPN Boston
Little bit on the double-nose defense:
They join old stalwarts like defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, weakside linebacker Jerod Mayo and safety Patrick Chung in a scheme that looks quite different from past Belichick-coached units. Gone is the trademark 3-4 defense with the big front – two 5-technique ends and one nose tackle – in favor of a lighter, more flexible four-man front that features two hybrid defensive ends/outside linebackers with two big tackles inside, and then three big linebackers behind them.
