He's not some undersized, unathletic slug who needs to mature physically and he's not a project player in any way. The only way he learns to deal with NFL d-linemen is by going against them regularly. Even a guy as highly regarded as Sewell is taking his lumps in year 1.
Difference here as opposed to Detroit is we’re 5-4 and competing for a playoff spot. We also need to protect our franchise QB (Goff is just a stopgap for the Lions). And Carman isn’t a project per se, but he is still learning a new position. Whereas Adeniji has experience all over the OL from last season.
But if Carman stacks a bunch of good practices one after another he’s probably going to earn another start. Right now I can see why they want to go with Adeniji though.
