Doug has good O players and many of them. What he doesnt have is a clue on how to use them. Baily is a complete waste running between the tackles. West, Kobena, Flemming, all wasted because the system is too complicated. Dont even get me started about AM. A total waste. Smith as well. Doug just doesnt have it as an OC and never will. I do think he could grow into a decent head coach but he needs to hire a OC and get the heck out of the way. Maybe even coach from the booth so the kids dont have to see his lack of passion.
Huh?
So, now we have complete evals of players as frosh and sophs?
Bailey may not be utilized to his strengths, but he also may not be a full-time back. He got bigger and he lost his burst. Not sure how it is a waste to run him between the tackles. He ran between the tackles last year better then Carter at times with how he hit the hole.
Where is this Flemming love come from? Dude played one game and didn't show a thing. He came out of a route and never put his hands up. I have never understood where this love affair with Flemming comes from.
West is wasted? Guy is getting quality reps as a frosh.
AAM and Smith are wastes? Glad you know that now. Just an FYI, you forgot to throw Gulley in there. Sure it just slipped your mind.
Do I like Marrone's system? No. I would like to see more spread, just like everyone else here. But, I firmly believe that Syracuse could not block spread. Cuse can't block a 4-man rush out of the shotgun with a 3 step drop. Hay and Tiller can't pass block. Chibane has regressed. Pugh is the only quality pass blocker of the bunch. The OL will hopefully take a step forward next year.
If I hear one more thing about passion and/or sideline demeanor, I am going to puke. I forgot Syracuse basketball is good because of Boeheim's antics in the coaching box. Nothing to do with players. Same with G-Rob, who was emotional on the sidelines.
Demeanor on the sidelines is one of the most overrated things by fans. EVER.
My take on the system is that if it is truly complicated as fans say, then there is no way we have seen even half the system. We have seen spread principles. Who is to say it doesn't become a spread as he moves more of his players in? I would love to see a QB in. Miller was supposed to be that guy. His hitch issues and subsequent criminal issues has forced Marrone to stick with Nassib, IMO. Kinder, Hunt, Broyld are projects who will need at least a redshirt year.
