Jonah squatted 600 lbs!

finally shown at LT in the Playoffs, coming back in great shape ready to go and playing RT in OTA's and all TC and Preseason he very 
well could be looking better than Jonah by the time the regular season starts. 

It sure would be better for our future if this is the case than Jonah playing great one year at RT, leaving next year and RT still being a 
question because Carman still isn't good on the right side. I have backed up Carman since we drafted him, no time for me to jump ship 
to an oft injured Jonah off a poor season playing hurt, without an anchor moving to RT in a contract year.


Yep, I wouldn't be saying anything positive about Carman if he played poorly at LT and came in in bad shape in OTA's. But that didn't
happen thank God. Carman's anchor is significantly stronger than Jonah's and Carman is in OTA's in great shape after finally showing 
something good in the Playoffs while Jonah is still rehabbing even if he is squatting 600 pounds, he still has to be able to cut, move, 
and do all the things Sunset said.

Jackson Carman has the head start at RT and even La'el has been at OTA's with his teammates.

The anchor is a serious concern for me at RT.  It is a concern at LT, but you deal with more speed guys there and fewer bullrushers.  

I wouldn't say that Jackson has a head start, though, as Jonah will be given every opportunity to be the starter at RT.  I am just holding out hope that some team needs a LT desperately and they are willing to do a third round pick (or higher) for him.  The compensatory pick argument is weak to me as they are based on contract dollars and that pool has been so watered down with the additional compensatory picks for minority hires, etc.  And that pick wouldn't be until the 2025 draft, not 2024.  

Bottom line:  IMHO, Jonah is the RT barring some great trade offer from a desperate team.  If that is how they roll, I will fully support him, but I feel a lot better with Collins and Carman as the backups this year over Adeniji and Smith.
