Yes, Braham might be our most underrated O-lineman of all time. He was our rock in the middle.
Damn bone bruise.

That said, this does not instantly make him a complete idiot on NFL linemen. He is a consultant nowadays on offensive lines and linemen and a lot of teams use his services. Also Big Willie was high on Carman too, and if you look at the scouting before and after he had his private workouts the ones after had him as high second / low first while the ones before were almost all second round. He went where he should have been taken.
All true, hated on PA more then about anybody but he isn't a complete idiot. Has too big of an ego though and doesn't
learn from his mistakes. Dude is stubborn as hell and that doesn't mix well with the owner who is also stubborn. I love
how Pollack learns as he goes from other OL coaches and played the position himself at a high level.
Willie knows whats up with OL and Carman was on my list right behind Eichenberg in my top 6 OL, I only had Sewell,
Slater, Darrisaw, Vera Tucker and Eichenberg ahead of Carman. Who knows who will be better...

We should all hope the best for our team members. Don’t like Carman? I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t hope he’s a perennial all pro and future hall of famer for us.
Same way man, same way. Just hope the light comes on for Zac, he is young, could happen. Hope it does.
