Chiefs "The OL needs time to gel." Ok. How long does that take?

Typical Teicher dipshittery.

Brown, Thuney, Long, LDT, Blythe and Remmers are professionals with years of service time, so their knowledge of the line calls will not, in any way, shape or form, become a hindrance to great offensive line play.

By all accounts, Creed Humphrey is not only impressive on field but extremely smart as well, so I don't think it will take him any time to gel with the guys next to him. Morse had zero issues and I expect Humphrey will have zero issues.

The only person that should be even remotely concerning (and I'm stressing remotely) is Lucas Niang, but Niang has had the playbook and access to the terminology for more than a year. He hasn't been in full pads since October 2019 so his timing might be a little off to start Training Camp but I think he'll be fine next to a veteran, whetherthat's LDT or Long.

The bottom line is that no one should be concerned about whether or not the offensive line will "gel" come Week 1.
