He got beat out by Volson, and we hated him even more. Then, when the team needed him most, he played two really good games at LT in the playoffs. Suddenly, there was a chance he was right and he is simply better off at tackle. So, why not the right side? It is still a different position from guard, and he is much more powerful than Jonah, which most RT need to be maulers for the run game.
This is Carman's contract year as well. If he can prove he can play legit RT in this league, his next contract could be upwards of $50 million. If he doesn't, he will likely get a minimum deal somewhere (else) as a backup.
I kind of like betting on a guy that has that much to lose.
Cody Ford can also be the backup RT.
It sure as hell beats Adeniji or Prince out there at RT and they made a Super Bowl like that. The improvement on the left side will be huge.
Also, I think Collins will not be cut and will be kept for quality depth down the road. Maybe his weight and conditioning are a bit better coming off rehab and perhaps the extra time without contact will help his back.
I amy be wrong, I've never really watched the guy, but something tells me Cody Ford is going to embrace the RT role and take the spot.
