Top 2 draft picks start 'process' at last

Redman is basically a straight ahead runner, and that's it.

Really? Don't tell me to watch the games until you start watching them yourself...

He can't go wide, he doesn't make people miss.

He's basically Richard HUntley with a cute nickname.

If Dywer is 235 pounds or lighter, he'll win the job.

EASILY!

Wow. You do have a terrible memory...

Huntley was famous for getting out in the open field and running until he ran out of gas short of the goalline...

Redman, on the other hand, if you actually watch him, is very elusive...

Once he is past the LOS, rarely does a defender get a good shot on him...he is elusive enough for people to bounce off of him and he can break arm tackles, which is something Mendenhall struggled to do...

Is he elusive in the same way as Chris Rainey might be? No...

But, that doesn't mean he only runs straight ahead and is easily tackled...

[Slapstick]

Watch. He is plenty elusive...

I think Redman and healthy Mendy can be a dangerous combination behind good O-line.

I like Dwyer but i question whether he has desire to be successful. I would not be counting on Dwyer.

Redman-mendy-Baron batch would be my top-3 RBs. It will be interesting though if Redman can produce with same efficiency this season. Opponents will be watching him more carefully this season with Mendy PUP bound.

Max Starks isn't the guy I want as a "mentor" to anyone. If anything, since Tomlin's been here? Starks has done the exact same things people FEAR that Adams might.

When it comes to being a solid citizen, there is no question that Max is a solid role model. And that is a big part of the fear with Adams. As for conditioning, there are plenty of other guys who can mentor Adams on that aspect of his game.

Aside from Starks, who can push Adams for a starting job? Jon Scott? Trai Essex? Gilbert, yes, but then Colon is shuffled back to RT and Ramon Foster is back in the lineup.

Pouncey and DeCastro (who seem to have little body fat on them, and both seem to be solid lead-by-example type guys) could make sure that Adams and Gilbert keep up with their conditioning. If you see your teammates working hard, you will likely work hard as well (if you want to keep your job).

In the past, Kemo had a gut, so Essex had a gut, so Starks had a gut, so Colon had a gut, etc. That was the acceptable norm of the past few years, but that seems to be changing with a new generation being brought into the fold.

And why was he cut? Because he ate himself off the team.

2006? Showed up at almost 400 pounds.

2007? Began the year on the bench.

2008? Began the year on the bench.

2011? Began the year out of work.


So obviously Max Starks' isn't the most "favored" guy in that organization, and it's mostly because he often reports for work out of shape.

So, when the team decides in a way that favors your POV...it's support for your theories. But, if they don't then you know best? How is that working for ya?
