Cantwell is not hurt

This. There's no way Cantwell is worse than SJ.

This is always said, and of course he can be. He can not know who tf to block on one individual play and get our QB killed, then what? I know we all think we know more than Mirabal from our keyboard, but I guarantee you we don’t, it’s okay.

He is an OT anyway, the OG stuff was always a waste of time.

Kid isn’t good/ready enough currently, clearly. That doesn’t mean he won’t be or can’t be down the line. With his God given physical ability and bloodlines, willing to bet that the coaches are willing to bet on themselves to figure it out. If we can’t, or if the kid doesn’t want to wait and see then he will be gone. It’s simple as that. The ?’s on him weekly are out of hand, no one knows and only time will tell. We aren’t seeing him this season barring injury *knock on wood*, so just sit back and calm your kewchies.

Brother you're making too much sense. Stop it. 😅

Sure. Maybe my original statement was hyperbole. It's just hard to believe. I do trust the coaches at the end of the day to play the best players and if Cantwell was better than SJ we'd probably see the freshman

HOWEVER... Cantwell didn't ditch the OG duties until we settled on Buchanan/Congdon at OG. Then, Congdon got hurt. Is there a chance the coaches just didn't want to dive back into the experiment of Cantwell at guard so he could fully focus on being an OT? Would love some truth serum from Mario and Mirabal on that.

Also, if the OG stuff was always a waste of time, that is a slight indictment on this coaching staff. How'd they not recognize it? I wonder if this OL is paying the price from all the chopping and changing and experimenting every single Miami media member mentioned during the offseason.

Oh well. We ride with who we have now.
 
During Mario's press conference, a reporter asked him about Cantwell, and Mario said he's going to be a real good player for us. I don't know. I think we may start to see Cantwell after the ND experience.
 
Mirabel/Miami philosophy is consistent year after year. They play the best players on the line every down of a game barring injury or blowout. He hasn't had a real chance to play except early in the year. This is nothing on Cantwell. He just didn't beat Sampson or McCoy.

Offensive lineman are rarely ready to play day one as true freshman, and only prodigies get extensive playing time as true freshman.

Congdon is the exception that proves the rule.

Some of you people are retarded.

Correct but the difference here is he's apparently being paid like a guy ready to dominate from day 1.

I don’t know what he’s being paid and neither do you. But more importantly, I don’t care. I don’t manage the payroll. I expect that that is being managed well enough by those in charge of it.

Bottom line, you can’t expect even a highly paid 17 year-old to come in and be a force as an offensive lineman - just not realistic, there’s only so many unicorns to go around.

Has dmoney chimed in or shot down any of the rumors of him unhappy and/or leaning to portaling?

I would utilize him on power run game on short yardage and just tell him to move people. He should be able to do that. Dude gotta step his game up and fast. Its a hard position but he is getting premium dollars. Hate it for the kid but thats the day and age we living in now..We need some production and we need it now.

This is like Samson all over again. Remember year 1 when he was “grumpy” on the sidelines and was transferring.

I know they are not the same people and maybe he is, but also, maybe, like most TRUE FRESHMAN offensive linemen you actually aren’t ready to play against 22 and 23 year old men.

Don’t thin as a true freshman, Samson came in and started at Lt all spring. And then come that fall, wasn’t even relied upon for jumbo/goal line situations. Something doesn’t add up here
