Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 46817, member: 40"] I think there is a lot of validity to your post, more than most recognize. I don't think that what we're seeing on the field is a byproduct of Marrone's "system," I think the coaches are calling a small subset of plays that they think the offense can execute because the OL sucks and we don't have any players on offense [other than Bailey and Provo] who would crack a top 25 lineup, and because when we DO throw the QB rarely has time to let the play develop before the pass rush gets there. Nothing against Macky [who I think gets way too much blame on this forum], but having to start him reminds me a lot of Justin Outten a few years ago--a gamer / smart kid / hard worker, but a bit physically overmatched. The OL also lacks depth. Thankfully, we have several frosh redshirting this year, and we're bringing in 4 more guys next year who will presumably also be able to redshirt, so at some point the play of the OL will begin to level out.
