Message: [QUOTE="Cuse_Albs, post: 1448628, member: 4230"] The one they did recruit with size for LB, Luke Arciniega, really did not fit our system hence the move to DE this season. You can't fit a square peg into a round hole, and that was blatantly evident last year with McDonald's offense. Of all the things us Syracuse fans can criticize, defense really should not be one of them. Since Shafer got here we have been consistently ranked among the top in our league each year defensively, and that stems from finding the fast, ballhawking, linebackers that have succeeded in our defensive schemes over the past 6 years. I do agree somewhat on the DE comment though. It would have been nice to have Ron Thompson and Isaiah Johnson at DE last year but the need for bodies inside was necessary for the moves. All that said if we had Dan Conley, Keith Bullock, Terry Wooden, Rich Scanlon, etc. walk through that door I would be ecstatic. [/QUOTE]
