UPDATE 8/29/07: Another player, most likely
with some game experience -- such as Anthony Wright or Andrew Walter,
if either becomes available -- is expected to be acquired for the No. 3
job. Asking someone to come in at this late date to learn a new offense
and compete for Redman's job could be a stretch.
