I think Baltimore is just really hard to play. They are different than most other teams in the league - They do things like using a fullback and extra lineman to beat you up. If they had receivers they would have been a different team.
he actually watched the bengals games when he's not getting paid to, unlike the others.
Imagine a guy playing his natural position in the pros that he played his entire college career that led him to be a 2nd round pick......and he does well!
Go all the way back to Whitworth.... We didn't draft him to be a left tackle. The scouts said he wasn't athletic enough for the position - Part of the reason he was available in the 2nd round. I think for the most part scouts get it right... They can see where athletic issues will prevent a guy from being the same player in the NFL that he is in college. But, I do think you're right that sometimes we ignore how comfortable a person is at a certain position and their ability to keep growing into that position.
In that game, Carmen was doing a fantastic job of passing rushers off and picking up new blitzers. He looked faster on his first step. He just looked more natural on the left side. Carmen also looks like his right leg is a better plant leg to keep from getting pushed backwards into the backfield. He held his own. On the right side, the left leg is the natural plant leg to keep from getting pushed. Just different looking player when playing LT.
