So what now when it comes to the TE room?

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.

aint nobody buying that pff crap. People always pick and choose and are biased with the pff grades. I love pointing it out. 

For example, Carman's 56.3 is good, and Jonah's 77.1 in 2021 was bad. Enough with the bias

There's a reason Volson beat Carman for the LG job in 2022. For how bad a pass blocker Volson is at LG, Carman at that position is worse. 

It's time to stop defending Jackson Carman

and at the end of the day, it's up to the player to learn whatever position the coaches want them to play
