The rest of the line would get pushed back and he just flat stayed put, engaged with his guy. However, he was blown by on one pass protection (guessed wrong?) and, although he stayed with his guy (I liked that) and shoved him past Dalton, it was a big whiff initially. He also had the bad false start.
Not ready to give up on Redmond but need to see him stone the opponent's #1s in the preseason. Maybe he will get his shot, also.
And as down as I was on Bobby Hart (everything I read showed poor play as a Giant), he seems to be the frontrunner for RT. Apparently, he played through an ankle injury for a large part of last season. Some friction came because he didn't want to play the final game of the season as they were long eliminated because of the ankle injury. I don't know, I would have real problems with any team that sat Eli Manning for Geno Smith.
Pollack faced him twice a year and liked him. He is also just 23 years old.
Yeah, agree with everything as usual Racer. Hart surprised me in a great way honestly.
I honestly do not care how it shapes up if Hart is the best RT, have him there, but i still like the thought of our
Line thoughts with Boling at LT, Westerman LG, Price C, Redmond RG, Glenn RT.
I think Pollack ought to do this and do it soon. As good as Hart looked at RT, it is no Cordy Glenn and we get
both Westerman and Redmond on the field at the same time at their proper positions.

It was even dirtier the first time i said it, had to edit. Damn football terms can sound nasty.

It's going to happen, you just try to learn from each mistake. The fact that he recovered, and caught up with the play is not only a sign of quality coaching, but a credit to the player's pride and tenacity. OL that have the determination to follow a play to the end, rarely get beaten by the same player repeatedly.
Great post.

You're right, though, as how many times have we seen Og just look at his guy go kill Dalton or a RB? I love Redmond's attitude and Westerman and Price seem to be cut from the same cloth. Not trying to sound douchey, but I don't want a group of pacifists out there. I want the front five to want to overpower and demoralize their opponent.
Have to have the attitude. This is why i have no hope for Ogbuehi. The WANT is what wins Superbowls.
Doesn't matter about talent.
