If not, it is time to move on after the season. But Zac is not so quick to give up on his early draft picks. Since Zac arrived the Bengals have selected 6 offensive players and 9 defensive players in the first 3 rounds. All are still rostered
Believe Zac will give the 23 year old until next year to prove his worth or search for a replacement. Carman was not who I wanted to draft, but will certainly thank him for his service if released. He filled in nicely in the Playoffs for the Bengals and did a fine job. He certainly was not the reason the Chiefs beat the Bengals and did nothing to hurt the Bengals chances a very primetime game. For that I will be thankful.
For the record if you discard Zac's 1st draft when the roster holes he inherited dictated where he needed to draft. Then he has selected 8 out 12 players on defense in first 3 rounds. The only offensive players selected in first 3 rounds the last 4 years are
Burrow, Higgins, Chase, and Carman. Somebody on the Bengals coaching staff really liked the kid to take him so early and don't see the ship being abandoned just yet. Although Ive been wrong before.
It is looking more and more like Carman is only a LT cause you are probably correct and it may be something to do with his brain.
He certainly didn't look like he was there mentally in this game. We have Orlando Brown Jr at LT now though so if we do hang on to
Carman it will be as an emergency backup to Orlando. He is young like you say only 23 and it is only 1 preseason game, we will see
but it sure wasn't encouraging at all for the future at RT.
