‘“Adding competition to our roster,” coach Sean McDermott said. “A guy that we know to an extent, having had E.J. our first year. Even though E.J. was gone he’s a guy that knows what we expect and how we expect it done. He knows the system to some extent.

‘“As strange as it is you can build that cohesiveness just by getting to know a guy off the field. That’s a huge asset,” said center Mitch Morse, who was sidelined the first two weeks of OTAs coming off core muscle surgery. “I think when you see these really great offensive lines in the league they’re often guys who have been playing together for a very long time. So we have to expedite that process a little bit. It can be done.”’
