I think he's one of the better O-Line coaches in the league, or at least he used to be.

Maybe our guys just suck right now. I don't notice many missed assignments as much as I notice our guys getting freaking steamrolled.

But the thing is that each of our current starting offensive linemen beyond Penning have been very good, if not outstanding, at times over the past few years. Peat's issue has never been quality of play, it's mainly been ability to remain on the field. Ramczyk has been outstanding for most of his short career. McCoy has been better than just solid. Ruiz, after a slow start, was arguably our best offensive lineman last season.

Did they all just suddenly suck? I doubt that. As good as Marrone's reputation is (I was a huge proponent) could that be the issue?
