Completely agree.  Traditionally, SU has struggled to field quality OL, and it has been a position of relative weakness even when we had strong teams.  One of the things I was most excited about when Marrone was hired was for how his NFL expertise coaching OL might help reverse that trend.  I still think that he and Atkins will get the job done, but this position continues to lag behind every other positional unit in talent, depth, and performance.  
 
But we're building better talent in the pipeline, and last year all four of the frosh OL the coaching staff brought in were redshirted--very important IMO to the long term development of OL talent.  Hopefully the same thing will happen with the three OL prospects the staff brought in for the class of 2012.
 
Per my post above, the majority of our resources on OL are in their first or second year in the program, so fingers crossed that we are on the cusp of seeing a jump in performance that starts this year and continues over the next 2-3 years.
