The return of Buchanan

How we ended up with a Manny Diaz oline is baffling in year 5.. From "Mass kicks ***" and "it has to look a certain way" to now seems like we didnt stick to our own philosophy.

Our OL is actually big, outside of SJ, were huge physcially.
Congdon has his TrFr issues and SJ just is too excited.

Mass plus experience matters even more.

If we don’t see him as questionable on this weeks availability report or next weeks I doubt he’s back for BC. Don’t we normally move them to questionable for a couple weeks before they end up playing?

I mean Mario said he expects him back for BC so....

I'd caution the excitement over Max. He ain't gonna revitalize this OL immediately. He's gonna have to get his legs under him and that may take 1-2 games.

One thing that has been bugging me. In goal line situations last year, we used to go real big and bring in extra OL as TEs. We haven't done that yet this year IIRC outside of Stanford iirc.

It was pretty good but Rodriguez has been good this year.

SJ....yeah.

But yes, when Buchanan comes back, he's the RG and SJ gets a nice view from the sideline.

Where he belongs. At now we have size and strength on the line again. Samson doesn’t have to worry about SN every plays and we at least won’t get bullied every play

Meriweather is a waist of NIL money if he can't beat out SJ, who is half his size.

What do you expect from Meriweather? He was a backup OL at Georgia but wasn't seeing the field much. He was a project and major risk since we missed out on Seaton. It is what it is. I didn't expect much from him. I just thought some others would develop better or faster. Our OL has been a weakness up to this point against the better teams like ND.
 
Anyone who's had a knee surgery knows that it's not just as simple as following a timeline. There's a mental "healing" that requires confidence and trust that needs to take place as well. Everyone handles it slightly differently. It's why most ACL recoveries take 1-2 years to be FULLY back. People like Adrian Peterson are just complete freaks of nature. I realize Max didn't have ACL surgery and it was likely just a scope for a ton menscus. I think Max doesn't really play much of a role til the playoffs, but that's just my uninformed opinion based on a lot of guesses.
