Just wondering about the OL.

Not to be Debby Downer, but, can new individuals from different teams/schemes be cohesive as a unit in just the first year? The OL is a "unit" that feeds and depends off each player. The new guys are great individual players but I wonder if they can play as a solid "unit" having never played together.

Please, someone give me comfort.

They may have some struggles the first handful of games but I do expect they'll start gelling in October sometime at the latest.
Hopefully too Carman (or Volson) plays solid enough to really round out the whole OL.
I have optimism Carman can now that he's had a year of experience, hopefully has his back issues behind him (ba-dum-tsh), and is playing on the side he's more comfortable with.
