Will the O-line have enough time to jell?

Gailey however, is undeterred by youth.

“The bottom line is can they play or can they not play,” he said. “There’s a bunch of good rookies and first-year and second-year guys out there playing for us. So if they can play, it doesn’t bother me. Age doesn’t bother me. We’ll play the best guys.”

Considering that we currently don't have any NFL-caliber Tackles, I sure hope they don't "jell."

Kind of a weird thing to contemplate as zone blocking isnt typical blocking where men have to create a perimeter to shield qb... you have guys moving everywhere to protect a spot...so there is no real "Jelling" as much as each guy just doing his job. If I am gailey I leave one or even two backs in to be a second layer of protection early on...they can sneak out if there is nobody to block and make some noise.....

This question is a good one...as our draft strategy for this year trusted that we would.

I'm more concerned with the O-line staying healthy.
