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.”
Problem is that Paul Alexander drafted two tackles without a mean streak very early that clearly haven’t panned out and it set this team back big time. I look for an improvement over last year’s line but still nothing to write home about. Might take another year or two for this o-line coach to draft some of his kind of guys.
The guys he had in Dallas were pretty good and will most likely make Alexander look good this year.
