I think that comes with the territory when you don't practice with the team at all. There's something to be said for the chemistry improvement we saw when Betts took the field in the Atlanta game last season, if you notice, even with a patchwork line he still seemed to be more patient and confident that the gap would appear, and it often did, even Cartwright was able to show that he had some rapport with the line, it comes down to practice. We always hear about receivers and timing with a QB but the same relationship is necessary between o-lineman and RBs.
