He supposed to be at G and Sisi made guys look great next to him as well. They should of had him and Pancake inside off rip now it will cost them a natty. The team is still top tier but got to recruit the trenches that much harder man, you cant get beat out on OL and DL

I disagree about Samson. That kids a dog. I understand the desire to move him inside just for consistency and reps for long term slots by youngins. But that's just not picking. Let the kid who's been this loyal to us as a program when he could have easily left prove to scouts he can play either guard or tackle. He deserves that loyalty from us as a program.

That’s fair I can’t argue that

McCoy is the RT and Samson is the LT. You always want solid pass blocking tackles when you have a passer like Mensah. Coaches are working Cogdon and Meriweather in the rotation at guard, and along with Buchanan, we looked much much better against Central Michigan than against FAMU, Stanford and Wake. I saw remarkable improvement against CMU and the possibility and potential for the future is bright. OL is a development position, and we have depth and talent , but we don’t have much experience. I am afraid that Cantwell is behind the others at this time (Like 5 star Samson was as a freshman) but I doubt it will remain that way as his career progresses and he will eventually become an all ACC type player

I think the OL has come a long way from Stanford. We ran the ball above average against Wake, and were dominant against CMU. There are stinker reps still, some guys have more than others, but I think it's getting a bit weird how fixated folks are on those while missing the OLs trajectory which is pretty clearly up and to the right to my eyes. Clemson should be a really good test for them.

Cantwell isn’t an OG so get him as many snaps at OT as possible.

Congdon and McCoy have similar body types. Massive bases that are nfl OG types.

Samson is making himself money at LT. he may end up at RT in the nfl but his work over the last four years is paying off.

SJ- get better at snaps or start dropping weight to play FB.

By December, we likely will have 7-8 kids that are starter material. The big question, does Cantwell or Hawks push McCoy inside over Maxx? At this point, Congdon is on the path to move SJ to backup center by December(likely October).

Samson, Congdon, RR, Maxx, McCoy is the likely the best group now. Disappointed that Pickett didn’t get snaps at OG but that will happen in time.

Everybody knows offensive line is our biggest concern and fair game for criticism.

But I find that the position is subject to more knee-jerk, emotional reaction than any position but quarterback.

Remember when half the board said Markel Bell was too stiff because he got beat a couple times? It was crickets when he became the best LT in America.

These guys are a work in progress. McCoy is not perfect but nowhere near my biggest concern.

Youre conflating the idiots for actual people who have stated consistently good points.

This isn't about complaing about a couple ****ups.

It is obvious to anyone who has seen a game of football that:

A) SJ is not nor ever should have been a guard. He shouldn't have been getting literally any reps of it because 1) it takes away snaps of guys who could ACTUALLY be guards for us we would need in playoffs and 2) he should have been competing at center with rodriguez. Why is this the first game of his career he has ever played center? Idiotic decision making.

B) Cantwell should always have been left at an OT spot - especially for our first 4 game run! and the coaches should have just competed Samson vs McCoy against each other for RT. It is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to move him down to guard if he doesn't gain staffs confidence (and counting on McCoy sliding out and being mostly the same as he already has been) than pushing him inside then trying to push him back out).

C) like I said All off-season it was obvious Samson was our Best lineman and would be better at OT than McCoy. And better at OT than he even was at Guard. And because of that it now makes no ******* sense Cantwell isn't getting his reps at ******* RT!

.... Same is said for our LB unit. You're and Smith on field together is stupid decision making
 
Cangdon’s demeanor and how his plays and carries himself
Is what we need to replace cooper. He has more confidence and doesn’t look nervous. SJ is probably in his head and that is why he is aStep too slow. Looks to me like merriweather is playing his way back into game shape. Depending on how the Clemson game goes I think we have our starting five for the rest of the season.

Very few people on this board ever realized Markel Bell was one of the best LTs in CFB.

They still dont a knowledge it.
