Is this a new guy, or has Redmond been holding back???

Redmond looked like a significant upgrade when he finally got his shot a year ago.  He has always been the strongest of the linemen, but had mental lapses and maturity issues.  I think once he gets his opening day jitters out, he will be pancaking some guys and Mixon is going to love running behind that right side.  Boling is our best pulling guard and he won't have to dodge a backpedalling Bodine on his way to the right side this year.

Redmond is just 23 years old.  He lost 25 pounds of bad weight (which I understand they initially wanted him to gain) and has better mobility now for the pass protection but is still a road grader.  

I can't wait to see what they do against Indy.  If they can get a good start to the season and play with confidence, they can go all the way.
