Yes, it was a bad combination of lots of things. Expect noticeable improvement once the starters play more on the OL and Joe
gets comfortable. BTW that is pretty wild with Slater playing that good this early against those DL vets. Might be the steal of the
Draft and he might end up being the best OT, better than Sewell. We will see how Carman improves.
Carman didn't have help with D'Ante Smith next to him and not Reiff. I like D'Ante but there is no way he comes in and just
takes on Hubbard after the year Sam just had. Hubbard worked his ass off and just got paid, he will be a much better pass
rusher this season guaranteed. Amazing work ethic, just the type of player you want on your team. Now we need to pay Bates.
I totally agree with this, plus Carmen is making a position switch, so Im expecting a transition period before we really see what he can do. But his body type and skill set do look tailor made for G and I can see him becoming a good one for us for years to come.
