Cantwell is not hurt

So if this is true, the reports of him in spring were false? Cantwell got here during Ohio st. So he had 2/3 weeks of practice in Jan against Bain and Mesi. Did well enough then and during spring workouts to earn LT1 for spring. Maintained LT1 for all of spring. Everyone spoke highly of him, even former all American Taylor lewan. And then is partial game one starter at guard. And now in Nov and he’s not even reliable enough to be apart of a jumbo package??

Not doubting you but something isn’t adding up to me. I’m hoping he’s hurt/ in the dog house and the eval wasn’t this bad.

No idea how all that hype got started bc I wasn’t there. But he isn’t quick enough or athletic enough to be a good starter at OT right now.

Appreciate the insight

Think it was clear on game 1 that his head was spinning and he wa struggling and not a guard. But what I don’t understand is why he only got snaps at tackle once during that first month? Feels like those first 4 games were the time to throw him into the fire and let him get reps and reps. Not saying first team reps but itleast with the second team. Seems like that was an opportunity missed and who knows how much more confidence he woulda gained. The handling of the OL this year has been puzzling at best
 
Is the season over?

Did we lose in the ACCCG?

What the **** happened that has caused so much drama & people acting like the sky is falling?

Guysm, there's 3 games left in the season, stop listening to fuxksticks like Pete, Ferman etc, they have no clue what goes on within the program.
 
Any doomsdayers ever think that maybe...just maybe, the staff and Cantrell agree that he will be a tackle and that all his reps need to be at tackle, but we have 2 tackles he's not ready to replace yet?

Isn't it a likely possibility that he's just cemented in as a tackle and he's not repping guard in practice?

We have two guards playing tackle because we don’t have tackles that are ready to play.

You’re on a roll! Making sure I give credit when it’s due…….
 
It's all rumors and speculation at this point. "A poster from Missouri", "he's gonna take a pay cut", "he's checked out"....

I saw him first hand in-person at the Fiesta bowl as fired up as anyone on that sideline. Sure that was 11 months ago, but I don't believe the internet rumors. Not a subscriber to Ferman or his show (didn't know it existed)
 
The thing that confuses me is how isn’t he good enough to at least be a blocking TE.

People on here was doing this exact thing with Samson. But still you would think the #1 player outta HS wouldnt be this behind
 
It’s weird jackson hasent played. Congdon has ability but he’s far from perfect and does get beat like true freshman do. It’s weird he hasent played outside. This O line coaching staff is elite. We may have missed on Cantwell. Maybe he will end up being great. But it’s weird he doesn’t play at all

100%

Why are there threads constantly about Cantwell?

There is a season going on with a shot at a playoff in the crosshairs and ppl want to talk about players who haven’t seen the field. It’s odd. What will happen will happen. I get we are on a message board and ppl are bored or curious but **** the infatuation with Cantwell is alarming and what is going on is entering obsession for some of this board.

Let it go and let things play out. Support the players and team. Only 3 Saturdays left guaranteed and possibly 4 total. Enjoy the games and leave the rumors alone for a minute.

To be fair, Taylor lewan came down here in spring hyping him up and he knows a thing or two about tackle play.

Think the OL expectation for whatever reason didn’t come to fruition this year and he’s a big reason why. Cant imagine this was their plan

Thank you, brother.

Interesting - I think we have a team full of tackles. Wilkerson, Campbell, Hawks, Cantwell, Meriwether, Ervin are all tackles imo. Guard, otoh, is limited - SJA, Congdon, Max, Pickett.



100% He looks very slow out there and tbh, I think he's too big. Needs to cut 20 lbs, imo.

Congdon is 100% a Tackle. Dudes 6'7" or 6'8" with a fairly lean build. His physique screams kick sliding on the edge.
 
I just talked to Mario.
He said because of cis month long menstrual cycle (me included) he’s rolling with sj at center.
Cantwell at LT Samson at LG. Condon at RG.

Players notified.

This place acts like they’re in the building listening to decisions and predict like mis Cleo.

I think he could go either way, honestly.

He has shown he can play the guard slot whereas the others, not so much. The 1-2 snaps he did take at tackle, he seemed really slow. Either way, even if he was a tackle, it reemphasizes my point moreso that we have a depth issue at guard on this team/

I would argue that Congdon shouldn't be playing either. Definitely not starting and playing every snap.

I think Congdon is physically ready to play. He just lacks experience. That missed block on the QB sweep vs ND was 100% mental. For whatever reason he thought he just needed to cross the DT's face and then go 2nd level.

Rule for Olineman: If in doubt secure the 1st level.

Cantwell works hard and has a good attitude.

The issue right now is athleticism. His athleticism is poor. Not quick enough. Looking like a bad eval right now unfortunately. Everyone in the industry got it wrong. Likely due to his level of competition. If he stays he will need to work on his quickness and athleticism before he is ready to play.

That's hard to believe, his parents were olympians with his dad winning a silver medal in 2008 olympics. Maybe he's got cement in his shoes and doesn't have the quickness to play tackle, but I would think a shot at guard earlier in the year would've been worth a try.
