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.
Not to many people "crying for this" but looking into the player to see if he fits a need and is an upgrade to the position.
which he does and probly would be.. Now then the other stuff is taken into consideration like why was he let go.. Injury history and such and of course time to learn. Which your reasoning is pretty spot on with why we don't pick up many free agents late in the offseason unless an injury forces our hand,.
