I love the guy as a football player, but I'm not mounting any man.

I don't think you want to do that without his consent.
But you do you boo boo.

Ladies and gentlemen…Pancake has arrived 
I am personally very worried about this OL and everyone else should be also. These replacements aren't going to be close to the 4 starters we just lost. The one starter we are returning split time with Samson. We are going to have a significant drop-off. I am more concerned with C than anything.

I'd expect
OT: Cantwell is 100% starting at one spot. he'll take some lumps, but oh well, We'll survive. The other spot, I'd go with Samson. Obviously first time game reps at OT. I'd suspect he wouldn't get beat by speed rushers as much as Bell. I think there will be small drop off from Bell to Samson to start of course. But maybe by the end of the season we could see him be as good or better than Bell. Bells main weapon was obviously just his size and length. Samson moves well, and showed good power run blocking this year imo. I think he is ready. If McCoy is the LT, idk I think he has shown much more just blatant misses in pass pro... Would be a little more concerned. Wouldn't be suprised to see Meriweather in this competition, but I think it's more likely he serves as OT3/4. I'd guess its Cantwell starting then likely for the other spot it is Samson > McCoy >> Meriwheather >>> Congdon / Wilkerson/Campbell. BTW, unlike most I would not AT ALL be surprised to see it Cantwell at LT and Samson (or mcCoy) at RT. In fact, I think it may even be likely.
OG: McCoy = Likely better than last season at least, just due to another year development. I though Samson was just better than him during season, yet Staff still started him all season. *IF* McCoy wins an OT job, I'd want Samson on whatever side Cantwell is on. But I really think McCoy sticks at OG, and the other OG is going to be the competition mainly between Meriweather and Buchanan. Minaya I'd think is running 3rd in that race. I would guess we probably see Merriweather and one of Buchanan/Minaya split reps same as we saw McCoy/Samson this year. I gotta say though, Having Buchana+Cantwell on the same side and be the entrenched starters for the next 3 years would be great. Obviously it's gunna have 1st year starting issues picking up some stunts. But that's mirabals job.
C: Rodriguez. I think if Rodriguez is the guy this will be a baseline solid output. Probably most similar to Zach Carpenter. Remember he was the opening day starter at LG against UF with Cam. This staff clearly really likes him. I'm not worried about his ability to snap the ball. And As long as the intelligence is there to make all the line calls - which he's been here forever, so he shoudl be good there - I don't think this is a big risk.. If SJ wins it will probably have some struggles, and I'd mostly be worried about the mental aspect and him likely being undersized. But he's athletic, and would be used to move a lot more. If SJ wins I think it may honestly be very likely Rodriguez is one of the starting Guards... I'd just default to Rodriguez is starting...

Bruh just put this dude at LT and call it a day. McCoy doesn’t have this guys skill set. We all thought he’d be a LT and now is the time to make that move.

Fuch yeah. In this era this man is as CANE as you can be.
That’s why Mensah is so important
It’s imperative we get him
He’ll cook behind this line
I think Mario and staff know as long as we get Mensah this oline is more than enough so that’s why I don’t think they made any major additions
need that money saved to pay the buy out
I think there's a good chance it works out that way. Samson at LT and McCoy LG.
Right Guard is the only position that looks up in the air. 3 or 4 guys could be the starter there - Buchanan, Minaya, Meiweather, et al.

McCoy Pancake Rod ?? Cantwell. Not in love with it but the left side should be good rod has been solid and at center he should be fine. But the right side is a giant question mark

Not worried at all, and everyone should not be worried. With the way this team is built there will always be guys who step up who were waiting their turn. Though u might not 1 for 1 replace guys like Bell or Cici u can still replace them with quality and Miami will do that.

I would typically worry but Alex and Mario coach up OL well. If they can make Bell what he is, they can def do it with the UGA transfer who has all the tools but got poor coaching. Pancake and McCoy have played alot of snaps. Cantwell will start. Buchanan is coming on. I think they will be prepared. they go against a beast DL everyday.

He’s growing into one of my all-time favorite canes. Aside from his improvement and physicality, didn’t he graduate in 2.5 years. This young man has it all, including resilience.
He’s an outstanding pass blocker. He could play anywhere on the line besides C. He’s not a bulldozer in the run game, but he will always get his hands on someone.
