Kevin Ware is getting looks at guard. Talent is not a problem because the program attracts talented offensive linemen. Yet, offensive line play requires a chemistry, a togetherness, a knowledge of what the guy next to you is going to do without having to verbally communicate. For example, last year's offensive line struggled early in the season. But in the last five games, including the Rose Bowl, it was a unit that was as good as there was around, in Myers' estimation.
Chemistry takes time.
Sometimes it happens faster. Sometimes it takes a long while. That means Myers is in full teaching mode, moreso than when he arrived at Washington last spring. We've had to go back and teach fundamentals, that, with an older group, we kind of assumed that they know. It just makes us go a little slower with our insertions and makes us do more drill teaching.
