I think Redmond not only would upgrade the run blocking, but is likely better than any of those three. And, he is actually built more like a tackle: 6'5". 330 lbs. 33 and 1/4" arms.
Granted, he would have to show very well to beat out the other guys who have all played tackle in the NFL, but I want to find a way to get this guy on the field. Lined up next to Westerman, I like our chances on short yardage and goal line, let alone straight up rushing plays.
Good point, probably cannot be much worse in pass pro than those guys, especially Og and Hart.
I have seen good pass protection from Fisher in the past but i still stand by that Fisher has always been more of a LT
then RT in my eyes. Would rather have a mauling type like Redmond or Perkins there. Perkins actually played well in
the one chance he got at RT against the Ravens. Went right down the field and scored a TD with him there.
People throwing out the notion of Redmond, Perkins or Taylor at RT i think are undervaluing what Pollack has been
saying. No one is given a starting position, no one. The best players will start.
