And Nijman said that making sure to offer grace and help to new guys is key to this as well.
"It could be challenging," the veteran tackle said of bringing in new guys to an existing group. "I think teams kind of give a little bit of leeway to that, and I think as far as how fast we collectively, the guys that are there can catch him up.
"That's probably the true testament of how fast he learns it. The information's there, we have guys that ask questions, and I'm sure the questions can be answered because we have a group of guys here that, whoever comes in, we kind of bring them in, and anything they need, you know, they can reach us."
Corbett said the first step is their baseline of familiarity, of knowing Moton and Ekwonu and Mays and Christensen and the lot of them for more than five minutes at a time. That allows the kind of communication that lets them not just survive, but thrive in unpredictable situations.
"I think it's just the consistency of just the people in the building," Corbett said. "To come in and have the same offensive staff coming into this year, same defensive staff, a couple pieces added into the training room, weight room, but for the majority it's just the same people around and that alone just allows guys to be more comfortable in the system to let their personality shine where when they get out there on the field, it's just an easy communication and they can go be who they are, play with that confidence, and just let it fly.
"Having all of us together every week at practice, like you don't just go out there with the same five for your reps because you know guys are on play counts, right? A guy needs a breather, step in on the scout team, so there's a constant shift that's always going on. And to be able to work that puzzle, and you get to a point where it's just like, I know what Brady needs said, I know what Taylor Moton needs said, I know what Brandon Walton needs said, even activated off the practice squad, right? Like it's just that communication that you have in the meeting room that you take to the practice field, and it just makes it easy, natural to show up on Sundays."
