Pollack, Carman, Humphrey, OUCH.

[The D.O.Z.]

I think Clemson Jackson Carman was a fine LT. I think that, had he been drafted to a team that didn’t try to make him a guard, a team that couldn’t even figure out its identity (they wanted wide zone under Pollack for HOW LONG before they finally decided it wouldn’t work.), that he MAY really have been a first round talent at the time he was drafted. Some guys just aren’t meant to switch positions or work in schemes that feature tools not found in the player’s toolkit. I think we ruined him, personally. Hindsight being 20-20 now, I wonder how he would have fared at LT if we had moved Jonah over to RT sooner than we did. Or just let him be Jonah’s backup and swing tackle until it was time to let Jonah go. I hated missing out on Creed Humphrey, don’t get me wrong, but they completely mismanaged Carman from the get go and that makes the blow hit even harder.
