Boling said. “That’s one of the good things about him. You are kind of dialing him back sometimes and that sort of thing. Most of the time you are trying to get guys to play hard and that sort of thing. For him, it’s the opposite.”
“Every now and then,” said sophomore defensive tackle Ryan Glasgow with a smile, who says Redmond has toned it down from last year. “I think that’s a maturity thing as well for people on the other side of it. Everyone here wants to get better working on technique. It’s a waste of energy on a 95-degree day in the middle of August throwing some punches or throwing someone down when the next play is the most important.”
Price said of him and Redmond. “Clint’s his own character. It’s going to be cool having (Redmond’s) energy and having him coming in just smashing people. But let’s do it controlled. Let’s do it the right way."
Sounds to me like Paul Alexander was not the only one who was telling Redmond to get things under control. No need to throw a coach under the bus for trying to help a player. Redmond has also lost a lot of weight and gotten in better shape since last year. If Redmond blossoms into a good starter you can't claim PA was "holding him back". He had some issues he had to correct.

There's a difference between telling your guy not to punch his teammates in August, and discouraging him from playing aggressive against opponents in the real games.

Yeah. PA sucked and jettisoning him will probably turn out as the single biggest move of this season.

Paul never told him not to play aggressive against opponents in a game.

was big. Sure, i thought about anyone would of been better than PA but getting Frank Pollack the guy who coached
the Cowboys blew my mind. Thought we would of just brought in somebody that was decent.
This guy is more than decent and we will see it as the season goes on.
But we will need patience, cannot turn the soggy shit sandwich PA left here into a reuben overnight.
What are you talking about . we did not sign pollack away from the cowboys. They did not want him back.

Yeah, i didn't word my post properly. I meant that the whole thing--PA gone, Pollack here--would make the biggest difference.

I think Andy Dalton and Carson Palmer might have a slightly different opinion.

No they wouldn't. Since Dalton became our starter in 2011 Bengals have allowed 8th fewest sacks in the league. Thye were top ten in the Palmer era also.
