Yeah well CIS doctors are saying give him some tramadol and a knee brace

Or, he's a freshman. He's not Sisi, who played at IMG. Cantwell played at a small schooll in rural Missouri. In a mostly run offense. He tends to play high & doesnt have the bend Congdon has. He's a tackle and he will be fine.

So basically you said he’s not ready, which is what I listed as an option.

Basically, I just offered a more plausible explanation.

Mario gonna send all of yall to Guantanamo if you keep talking about injuries

 

[Cribby]

this makes the most sense to me right now

I’ve mentioned this but I just don’t like messing with center. But RR is a solid guard. I’d roll with SJ and Merriweather then go from there.

Leave RR right where he is. He’s starting to get his grove ( not like B Mac) on.

5 players are out for season that were on 2 deep. We lose any more there will be no playoffs.

Moore, Brown, Luka, Max, OJ?

Toradol screwed me up for weeks. Tramadol is great though.

Here is a summary of the video INJURY UPDATE On Max Buchanan | Miami Hurricanes Options at RG from CanesInSight:
Key Highlights & Injury News
Max Buchanan's Injury: Starting right guard Max Buchanan announced on Twitter/X that he underwent surgery following a leg/knee injury sustained in the Clemson game [00:03].
Timetable for Return: While the injury is considered long-term, current projections indicate it is not season-ending, and the expectation is that he will return later this season [00:38].
Miami’s Options at Right Guard
With a bye week to adjust, the video discusses several potential line combinations to fill the void:
SJ Alafua:
Stepped in at right guard during the Clemson game and played his best game of the season [01:09].
Jamal Merryweather:
Has rotated with Buchanan in past games (e.g., Central Michigan) and subbed in at right tackle when McCoy was briefly down [01:36]. His ideal permanent position may be guard [01:58].
Jackson Canwell & Lineup Reshuffle:
Freshmen Jackson Canwell could potentially play right tackle [02:11], allowing Francis Mauigoa or Frankie McCoy to kick inside to right guard where he previously excelled [03:28].
SJ Alafua at Center / Ryan Rodriguez to Guard:
Another alternative proposed is moving SJ Alafua to center—his natural long-term position—and sliding Ryan Rodriguez over to guard [04:15].
Big Picture
Schedule Outlook: Miami has already completed tough conference road trips (Stanford, Wake Forest, Clemson) [05:55]. The upcoming stretch features more favorable home games, giving line coach Alex Mirabal time to experiment and gel the updated offensive line ahead of major late-season tests [06:31]

Thank God that we have Mauigoa pulling double duty between the NFL and college. Without him we’d be seriously screwed. (PAUSE)
