So this is what the pro-Shafer crowd is clutching to? Marrone left the cupboard bare.

We've been through that before and it's so weak.

It doesn't excuse the horrible game management and the lack of player development. Young, talented players are supposed to get better over the course of a season - not worse.

And say what you will about the talent level of the upperclassmen. But this OLine has been solid according to ProFootballFocus. And it's not going to be better in 2016 just because those seniors are going to be replaced.

[I]On Friday, Pro Football Focus passed along player grades from the Orange's 44-38 triple-overtime loss to Virginia last week.

The highest-performing offensive unit for SU? The line.

Redshirt junior right tackle Omari Palmer (+3.2), redshirt senior left guard Nick Robinson (+2.7) and redshirt senior left tackle Ivan Foy (+1.5) turned in the three best grades on the Syracuse offense. The group as a whole shined in pass blocking, despite freshman quarterback Eric Dungey taking three sacks, and was solid in the run game.[/I]
