O-Line issues

Why not move McCoy back to left guard, a spot where he started the last 2 years. It also creates a dominant left side that we can run behind and protects Mensah’s blind slide.

I recognize that you are then left with Buchanon and Cantwell on the right side but at least Mensah can “see” the pressure from that side.

I kinda like the idea of a strong left side where we can run behind on 3rd or 4th down and short.

this was my suggestion, but it only works if Cantwell is clearly better at RT than SJ is at LG AND can pass protect at least minimally well. I’m not sure how we couldn’t find that out from watching our own practices, or maybe they did and the answer is SJ and McCoy (which would be awful news).

2013 Canes had one of the better rosters in Miami history on offense. No it wasn't on the level of the national championship teams but that 2013 squad was loaded. I think pretty much every starter went on to have a solid NFL career outside of the QB

I do find it curious that Cantwell was LT in the spring and RG in fall camp. It wasn't until late in fall camp (IIRC) that we started seeing glimpses of him at RT. I don't believe he's had a single snap at RT so far this year but Congdon has (and struggled mightily).

The issue with Congdon and Cantwell is that if you're gonna make a revamping of the OL, it has to be done soon rather than waiting for week 10. Need to be running on all cylinders with a cohesive unit by then, imo/

For me that wasn’t his most egregious. He went against a fleet footed guy and whiffed on a bad angle. Happens for an OL. The worst play was when 52 literally rag-dolled him to the floor as if he was a pesky ant.

I think we should move McCoy and Samson back to the guards spots and sure up the interior. Then let the FR battle for the tackle spots with the other guys. People talk about the tackle spots but getting ragged on the interior is crazy work and more dangerous

Don’t talk, crazy man, Sampson is our best tackle. He’s our best lineman. He’s lock down out there. Now, if you wanna move McCoy to guard, and put Cantwell at right tackle I’m all for that.

McCoy at LG, Cantwell RT
McCoy LG, 6'9 kid RT
Ryan Rod to LG, Rhys C
Cannon Pickett LG

I personally like Woodrow at C. Seems like he could be a good one. I would leave the tackles and then just find someone with a pulse at LG.

If memory serves we were complaining about the OL early on last year as well. That was limited to the run game and this year is clearly worse, but I am sure we will see progress.
