Indeed, listen to Redmond and it’s as if Pollack has set him free as a player, unleashing that mean streak.


“My new offensive line coach absolutely loves it. He loves everything about the physicality of all that kind of stuff. I’ve other coaches in the past tell me to be something I wasn’t and they’re gone now, thankfully,” Redmond said. “He understands. When you go out there he knows that it’s tough. It’s a hard game to play, so he gets it … They’re pretty much letting me loose, let me do my thing. I’m excited.”

Well, had he properly demonstrated how to unstick the ketchup bottle, he may have had a chance with the man that selected him.    


Seriously, that quote is good to read, and quite telling of how handicapped PA kept some of the younger players.  I'm just glad that Coach Pollack encourages physicality over finesse, and wants them to be smart, as well as tough.
