“#Jets offensive line getting creative to build quick chemistry<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n You could call the Jets offensive line room a chemistry experiment this summer.<\/p>\n

Jets general<\/a> manager Joe Douglas overhauled the unit, which was one of the worst in the NFL in 2019. None of the five players who started Week 1 last year are on the roster. The Jets will have an entirely new group of starters this year against the Bills to begin the season than they did last year.<\/p>\n

That would be challenging in a normal year. That 2020 has been anything but normal has only complicated matters. Many of the men who will be playing next to each other on the line only met last week when the team reported to training camp. <\/p>\n

They are scheduled to open the season five weeks from Sunday in Buffalo. Between now and then, it is a crash course in building cohesion and chemistry. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doing everything we can to build that chemistry whether we\u2019re on the field, getting after it, competing against one another,\u201d guard Alex Lewis said this week. \u201cWe\u2019ve got group chats going on with each other to joke around and build that chemistry up. We\u2019re talking through the playbook with each other after the runs in the locker room and quizzing each other, just pushing one another. That\u2019s the best way you can build chemistry right now. We\u2019re very limited still [in what we can do] and we\u2019re trying to take full advantage of the time that we have together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Typically, the line would have been through an offseason program including OTA practices and a minicamp by now. They would also have three preseason game<\/a>s and many more training camp practices to jell. <\/p>\n

This year, the line just got on the field together this past week for walkthroughs. In the coming week, practices will ramp up a little more with helmets, but it won\u2019t be until the following week that they put pads on. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest challenge when you have a group like that is that we all speak football but we might call things by different names,\u201d said guard Greg Van Roten, who signed as a free agent with the team. \u201cWe just have to get on the same page with our communication if we want to be effective and hit the ground running fast. So there\u2019s going to be a learning curve, but I don\u2019t think it will be this insurmountable obstacle that we can\u2019t figure out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The line was a disaster last year, allowing Sam Darnold to be pressured too much and failing to open up holes in the running game. It did not help that the group was devastated by injuries. They used nine different starting offensive line combinations and 11 different players started. <\/p>\n

This offseason, Douglas signed Connor McGovern to play center, Van Roten to play right guard and George Fant to play right tackle. He drafted Mekhi Becton in the first round to be the new left tackle and brought back Lewis, who emerged as a starter early last season. <\/p>\n

That is a lot of new faces, but Lewis said that is a way of life for linemen. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not weird,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cThis is going on my fifth year now. There\u2019s always new guys and new faces coming in and old faces leaving. It\u2019s something that you\u2019ve just got to adapt to. For me, personally, all I can focus on is my job. I can\u2019t worry about what upstairs does with personnel or anything like that. When you start worrying about that stuff, it takes away your focus on what you have to do personally.\u201d <\/p>\n

Jets coach Adam Gase said they have \u201ca lot of work to do developing that kind of chemistry that we need.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI really like this group of O linemen. They\u2019re great in meetings,\u201d Gase said. \u201cThese guys are always trying to do things on their own to make sure them and the quarterbacks are on the same page. These guys communicate a lot. I think with FaceTime and Microsoft Teams these guys being able to communicate during training camp has been helpful for us because these guys talk through a lot of things.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
