The Jets’ offensive line played together in a game for the first time last week. It did not go well.

It looked like a group that had not played together before … because it hadn’t. Injuries and the late addition of center Ryan Kalil led to the starting offensive line not playing a snap together in the preseason. The ragged start last week was expected. The unit gave up four sacks and running back Le’Veon Bell was fighting for yards without many holes.

“I feel like at times we were a little bit out of control, trying to do too much,” said Kalil, who came out of retirement in early August to join the Jets. “And then other times playing a little bit slower than we probably needed to play. There was a lot of good things that we did on tape but nothing that we put together for complete drives except for the one. That’s just something you can’t do. That will kill you, even when your defense is playing lights out and giving us plenty of opportunities, which they did last week. If we want to win more games, we’re going to have to do a really good job on capitalizing, especially on turnovers.”

Kalil and others on the line feel that they will only get better with more time together.

“Now that we have all the pieces there and we’re continuing to practice and continuing to work together, it will keep trending up,” Kalil said.

The Browns will be a tough challenge — with a strong front led by Myles Garrett. They also have former Jet Sheldon Richardson and Larry Ogunjobi in the middle of the defensive line.

“You get some teams that have big, stout guys that you have to try to move off the ball. You get other teams with smaller, quicker guys, guys you have to contain. They can split double teams. They can get in the A gaps. Those guys can do both,” Kalil said. “You have to be really great with your technique.”

The Jets are hoping they finally found their long-term kicker with Sam Ficken. They signed him Tuesday after Kaare Vedvik bombed against the Bills last week.

Special teams coordinator Brant Boyer gave Ficken a vote of confidence.

“I think he’s done a great job since he’s been here,” Boyer said. “He’s a pro, knows what he wants, tells you where to put the ball, tells you how he wants the ball. I think he’s done a real nice job since he’s been here. It’s been a good, pleasant surprise. He kicks off well. I feel real confident about how he’s going to do on [Monday], I really do.”
