Just don't see it, he looked just as bad before the injury.
No he didn't. Though he has some God awful form & footwork, he still maintained almost all of his assignments & managed to allow three QB hurries over the course of a game and a half, no sacks. For a rookie that's not bad.
Some guys may not be pretty in how they do things, but at the end of the day it's what gets accomplished not how ya look doing it. Right now Webb seems to be the obvious favorite, but if Carimis knee is 100% I really would like to see him compete for the RT position. If Carimi could even be adequate & come close to ranking in the middle of the pack, for better or worse by a ranking or two, & maintain or better his run blocking abilities, I think he'd be a nasty RT. Carimi did prove that he can run block in a down year & for me that's the number one skill I hope to see from a RT. If he could come close to replicating his play from the 2012 Texans game where he was by far the best offensive lineman on the field for either team that night, which his critics like to ignore in favor of the 49ers game, he could be a mainstay at RT, if healthy. One thing that scouts did like on Carimis scouting report was his overall work ethic. He does have a rep as one who works his but off at anything he does. I just hope a knee injury isn't too much to overcome in the amount of time he'll likely get from this coaching staff to get it right.
