Because Bodine struggled picking up the system as a rookie, right? Heck, Jeff Faine was serviceable and he learned on the fly.
Bodines first season coincided with hue jacksons first year as OC. To me when everyone is learning something new together it can have a galvanizing effect and almost be easier at times. Offensive lines are to move as one unit, they are like a machine. So reps in camp and being in the players position rooms for meetings is huge for learning quickly. Bodine getting the playbook and scheme in April or May is far different than a player receiving those things in late August when camp is soon to break. Everyone shouting for this would be the first ones crying when there were fumbled C/QB exchanges and missed protections due to inexperience in the scheme and too few reps with the team.
