Brady really coming back?

To answer your question, I don't have an answer. I feel like Hopkins had some flashes after the bye week. I hate riding on "what if's" and "maybes", but I feel like that's the intersection we're approaching isn't it? This is directed at us starting an unproven Carman at Guard next season. I'm not a fan at all of this idea after he couldn't beat out the worst RG in the NFL.

Jensen doesn't seem likely ($$$).

Bozeman may come slightly cheaper, but isn't a scheme fit according to the X's and O's guru's on this board.

Brian Allen is a name I see a lot lately. I wouldn't be surprised if we got him, Norwell (LG) and let Carman start at RG. This is not my preference in the slightest, but I wouldn't be devastated either. If we can pull off the Collins trade, this OL doesn't look bad at all. I would say average to slightly above average. 

LT Jonah
LG Norwell
C Allen
RG Carman
RT Collins 

Allen is a better scheme fit but he is much smaller and not as strong as Bozeman - who actually ranked 2nd in pass block wins of centers an this was his 1st year at center in the NFL.  Bozeman will get us that QB sneak yard, he may not get wide very well but he will protect Burrow which is my top priority. Bozeman and Norwell would be a wall against pass rushers but no sweeps left, lol....

I like this oline a lot but very concerned of that A gap at C and RG - Allen is not a good pass blocker, trusting Carmen is a reach right now.

That left side would be awesome... we would need Allen to really improve and hope Collins can help Carmen - but he may take a big step also they like Smith.
