Which is what JJ22 is driving at. We thought Pollack would upgrade the line, but we can't assume Pollack would've made Sewell better? Hypocrisy.


Carman is the worst player on this line. If we bench him, XSF becomes the worst player on this line. Then it's Hopkins...who is worse than he was last year, due to injury most likely. I think the only reason Nicomo is highlighting Hopkins as the worst is to avoid mentioning Carman, because Team Chase pimped him all offseason.

“Pimped him” is a bit much. He certainly wouldn’t have been my 1st or even 2nd choice. But once we drafted him I tried to get fully behind the pick (crazy right?). I figured a top 50 pick that blocked for Trevor Lawrence on the big stage for multiple years would be able to beat out XSF. He obviously didn’t though. I underestimated how hard it would be for him to adjust to a new position. I do think he was solid his 1st couple games though, but yes, against GB he was Michael Jordan level bad. Let’s hope he can bounce back. I think there was enough positive in his other two games to be encouraged he will get there. He certainly doesn’t look like a MJ, Ogbuehi, Price, etc that you could just tell right from the start were lost causes.
