Yeah we missed on the eval out of high school, but we keep playing him starter snaps.

We missed on the eval.

It’s “missed the eval” that gets under my skin. It’s become the overused buzz phrase for any player who doesn’t qualify as a first rounder by year two. It’s now a clichè.

To your comment, I’m with you and it’s why I groan-replied. It is 100% a process and a rebuild. We lost about 15 years of experience across four guys. Our last mental images of OL play at The U was a very seasoned group playing at an elite level and who mostly had played together as a unit for a few years. We now have Samson and McCoy as vets, with the interior a major mess.

If Cantwell isn’t ready at OG, why are ya’ll so adamant about putting him at OT?
Our situation isn’t good, but I promise you Mirabal isn’t just putting these guys out there if he thinks there are better options on the bench.

Because OG and OT are entirely different positions, and had we just put Cantwell at OT to start the season, he'd already have 3 games of development under his belt.

This is pretty simple - it's not about Cantwell vs McCoy. It's about Cantwell vs SJ for the entire season. Which would be better for the teams long-term prospects? And then you ask is Cantwell better at Guard or Tackle - I believe we'd be better off with him at OT and just letting him learn on the job.

But now we wasted 3 games of potential development for Cantwell, just to prove the obvious - that SJ is a major liability which was always obviously going to be the case. This isn't complicated. He should have been forced into Center and competed with Rodriguez. He should have been getting all the 2nd team reps of Stanford/FAMU at Center. Period....

Lofton is barely the answer at TE, please the RBs we paid be our RBs.

I actually like it as third down back.. Not to actually carry the ball but Lofton already pass blocks so it wont be much for him to learn from the rb position. and he can release and catch checkdowns and dumpoffs. Just need to protect the QB, I cant watch Mensah turn to a lemon when he uncomfortable again.. That was not good..
