The reason given prior the start of the season is that XSF and Spain are both more consistent in their play.
The Bengals can not allow Carmen to have a brain fart, blow a block and have Burrow blown up because of a rookie mistake.
Pollacks not going to let that happen. If Carmen plays this week they'll have to keep a RB or TE into block every play because of Carmen's inexperience IMO.
He'll be at guard so keep a RB in to pick up anything he misses, and let him open some lanes for the running game. He's got to get his 1st snaps some time.
