When building an offensive line, two key factors are talent and chemistry. Talent is obviously key, as every unit requires players who can block. But chemistry is also critical.
You want your offensive lineman to know what the other four men on the line are thinking and what their tendencies are. This helps guard against stunts and other defensive techniques designed to confuse the offense. The New York Jets interior offensive line currently lacks that.
Center Ryan Kalil, and guards Kelechi Osmele and Brian Winters, have yet to appear in a preseason game together, and likely won’t play together before the games count.
