Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 332604, member: 622"] You run into leadership problems when you have young teams and high injury losses. Focusing the players on team concepts like the military does should help these kids. Add that to the on-the--job experience they gained last season and we should see improvement in quality of play. As for Marrone's statements, he can only blame himself, he scheduled it. However, I think he is just keeping expectations low. Anytime there is a deviation from a normal routine, there will be issues with inconsistencies. In reality, the players will have the benefit of the training and Marrone will be able to tighten up everything next week. He has had every team ready for the season since he came to Syracuse, there is no reason to believe this team will not be ready. [/QUOTE]
