So who is that starter at LG?

Is Cordell Volson entrenched as the starter at left guard?

"This was Jackson's (Carman) opportunity. He had missed a couple days. He didn't get to play last week, so we thought we gave him a great opportunity to show himself today."

When you went back to watch the film on Cordell Volson, what do you see?

"I see steady improvement. He's consistent. We know what we're getting out of him. It's real important to him. Again, we've seen steady improvement from him over the course of training camp."

It is all nothing but coach-speak gobbledygook.

To me I think it is still 2 weeks until the season starts so he does not want to commit

Wasn't Carman still listed as #1 on the depth chart going into the Rams game?  But does the fact that Volson did not play mean he is #1 now?

Have there been any other tweets or comments from any reliable sources?

I think the fact that Volson didn't even play in PS game three told you all you need to know about who is starting....BETWEEN CARMAN AND VOLSON.

The reason Taylor didn't want to commit to Volson as a starter is I believe now that they have the dollars settled with Bates, etc, they will find a player to bring in to be a veteran presence at LG.  Carman could be dealt or kept as the end of the roster depth.  

Volson was the anti-Smith, Adeniji, and Prince.  He wasn't drafted on potential, but on his floor.  He may end up being a very solid long-term LG, but he was the 'higher floor" guy with tons of experience and the toughness they wanted.  I'm not the least bit surprised that production trumped potential again.  I hope we see more of this.  It seems like they sure figured this out at the LB position (Wilson, ADG, Bailey, and Pratt) were all wildly productive and versatile, whereas the STUPID LB pick out of Texas that they selected over Orlando Brown (threw a remote control against the wall...shattered it) was an athlete without a lot of assignment production.
