why do you say these blatantly false statements? Who are you trying to fool...
"he just may be much better on the left side"
he's not playing LT anymore so he better figure out how to play left guard. If he cant figure out how to play on the right side, he is only useful as a back up LT. You dont draft back up LT's in the 2nd round
He's flat out bad for a 2nd round pick
Carman as a rookie outplayed Volson as a rookie. Carman posted a 56.3 PFF with zero sacks. Volson posted a 51.6 PFF with 5 sacks.
In his 2 years with the Bengals, Carman has played 673 regular season and post season snaps. He has give up just one sack. He has not played bad.
If the coaching staff moves Carman to an Oline position he struggles at when he is better at a different position, that is on the coaching staff not Carman. Not all positions on the O-line are the same so you cant expect your linemen to play all the various spots. As a comparison not all spots in the defensive secondary are the same. Jesse Bates is regarded as one of the better safties in the NFL. If a coaching staff moved him to cornerback and he struggled would you say Bates is horrible because he cant play that spot very well? No because he is out of position in the secondary. Now you do have some guys that can play multiple positions in the secondary pretty well like Cam Taylor-Britt but it doesnt mean everyone can do it. Same is true with the O-line. You cant expect linemen to play every spot and do a good job.
