Bodine and Fisher have never played with Andre as a RG, Andre has never played RG.  Boling spent pretty much his whole career to date with Whit on his left...now its Ced.

Yes , none of them are individually rookies but the unit as a whole has not had anytime together.

It's one thing i hope the coaching staff do in the preseason actually...let the 'starting' OL spend more than a handful of snaps together outside of game 3...think they need the time to gel.

I probably could have stated it better as: "The guys who are going to be playing have had more time to gel."

I realize the older guys had more time together. Which doesn't matter much now as it's a different line. But the guys who are here and are going to be playing in 2017-2018 have had a season to get familiar and will have had a couple offseasons. So they should look better than last year when they were just plugged in here and there.
