I suppose it's possible that Marrone doesn't have the golden touch with o-linemen that so many believed he would bring.

And before anyone's head explodes, I'm not saying that means Marrone is poor at coaching the line by any stretch. It seems to me though that a lot of people were banking on Marrone coming in and immediately gifting the program with a top notch line, and I just don't think it's that easy.

Be sure though, this is Marrone's line. The right side are JUCOs he brought in. The center is the guy he's been talking up since the Pinstripe ended. The left guard was his recruit out of highschool, and the left tackle signed under GRob but has only been coached on Marrone's teams.

All said, I think he's been as successful as he can be with the guys that are there so far. If we assume that his coaching makes a difference and improves their performance, that's our given, we just have to hope the incoming players are better than the guys in there now if we want to see a better line.
