Bottom line, it's too early to panic about Left Guard.  However, the panic about backup Tackle should be Defcon 5.

Carman and Volson both stood out, but in different ways.  Volson was probably the best lineman that played that first preseason game.  He was aggressive and FINISHED plays.  Clearly, the opportunity meant something to him.  Maybe Carman is just too passive.  When did he need to show a newer, more consistent version of himself more than that first game?  And he looked lost a number of times.  

I am not giving up on him, but maybe he just thought he would dominate those backups instead of respecting the guys fighting for jobs at the end of a roster.  Either way, he is sure not impressing anyone.
