BOL Round Table

Carpenter seems like he has been one of those guys who was easy to overlook even by us Bama fans. Off the bat had to come in and replace All-American, Outland winner, and top 10 pick in Andre Smith, overlooked in favor of freshman phenom DJ Fluker, and did nothing but come in and provide a solid two year anchor for us on the left side. Blue collar worker, one of those guys you never noticed because he did his job and did it well. With his skill set and versatility I tend to think he'll fit well in Seattle opposite Okung. Definitely has the pass blocking ability to handle the right side but coming out of a run-oriented pro style offense should definitely give him a leg up in putting some pop in the running game. Surprised to see him go so high, but he's been surprising us with his performance and consistency from day one so I expect nothing but good things from him. Just my two cents.

Sounds promising... thanks for the insight, guys.

I think we would have preferred to make a trade, but we definitely need help on the line so I'm pretty pleased we got him. It sounds like he's got a lot of power.

Go hawks!
