"The search for their Week 1 starting guards took an unexpected turn this weekend with Bengals rookie fourth-round tackle D’Ante Smith getting first-team reps at the position Saturday and Sunday due to the continued struggles of second-round pick Jackson Carman and Michael Jordan’s ongoing inconsistency issues."
"And third, and probably most significantly, Carman simply hasn’t answered the bell the way the coaches had expected. Taking a look at Smith at guard doesn’t mean they don’t think Carman can eventually win the job, whether it be Sept. 12 or sometime later in the season, it might just be another way they are trying to light a fire under their second-round pick."
Report after Sunday's practice. Not what you want to hear bout the second round pick, let's hope Smith steps up and surprises everyone with the opportunity.
Saw this earlier, it is alright GF. Carman is getting some hard treatment from Pollack. It is all good bro.
All we want is the best 5 to start correct? Or do we want to cry about Draft picks that don't take over immediately?
