Both sat out a year and are going from college to no play to the NFL speed. It will take a little time to get used to it again.
Yes thought this would be the case especially with Sewell so no surprise. He is a GREAT run blocker though.

I can see the same.

That's a bad sign IMO if he was healthy but could not get himself in shape in time for training camp. Don't get me wrong. I'm 100% rooting for him to be a great player. But the Bengals need highly motivated players.
I don't see it being motivational, Carman could of sat out late last season when he was injured but instead stayed and did his
best to protect his QB while they went for a Championship. He was a good teammate and played through it even though it
lowered his draft stock cause he wasn't even close to 100%.

Jonah Reiff and Sewell all on this line wouldve been the ideal scenario.
No arguing with that, but it is crying over spilt milk and Sewell isn't here. Carman is and he is also a mauling run blocker.
