I am far from giving up on Carman. He needs to show he can take the next step, especially in terms of consistency. I sign Spain and let the two of them fight it out for LG. If Carman is out of shape and hasn't step up his mental focus, it falls to Spain.
Mixon will be a massive beneficiary with this improved line. They won't be run-first, but they will sure be versatile.
Should they get Collins, RG, C, and RT would all have a roughly 20 PFF point improvement over their predecessor. I know PFF isn't the be all and end all, but 20 points is like the difference between Jonah and Bobby Hart. Having that improvement at three spots is just insane.
I don't care that ESPN and the NFL network are all ball-washing the Raiders, steelers, Broncos (that one I get a little), and now Browns...It is almost like everyone thinks the Bengals run was luck and they won't be back. Let them be underdogs again (sorry, Joe).
I hope so Racer.
True that this Line will be much better at run blocking. Cappa/Karras is significantly better than Adeniji/Hopkins.
I think D'Ante Smith will be the main man pushing Carman cause he can play LT too as well as Guard.
We will see if Spain is brought back for competition. Right now we don't know same with Collins who just left without a contract
which might mean his hip is bad and I wouldn't want him anyways if that is the case and would rather have Daryl Williams.

Yes.
