They are notorious for giving ratings especially for OL that do not line up at all with reality. Carman flashed plenty when in - it was when we had Adeniji at RG that the line started to implode. And when Reiff got hurt things turned pear shaped with the right side of Prince and Adeniji.

With that said Carman has shown work ethic problems too and needs to learn better balance. I'm fine with us resigning Spain so that we are not relying on Carman right out of the gate.

Actually, PFF supports this...

Regular season:
Carman (462 snaps) - 56.3 overall, 53.0 pass block, 62.4 run block
Adeniji (555 snaps) - 48.3 overall, 48.9 pass block, 47.7 run block

Postseason:
Carman (39 snaps) - 44.9 overall, 4.2 pass block, 69.9 run block
Adeniji (222 snaps) - 37.6 overall, 19.9 pass block, 48.9 run block

So even according to PFF, Adeniji was worse than Carman.
Coaches just felt Adeniji was better/more consistent, so he got more playing time.
