Q: How much factored into you having your most productive year when Linehan was the offensive coordinator?
A: “It definitely did. I really feel that was my best year as a complete tight end as far as catching the ball, blocking and doing all the little things that I worked on so much. I still remember meeting him the first time and he said, ‘I want my tight ends to catch the ball, but they have to be able to block also because I want my tight ends to stay on the field all the time. I don’t want to have to bring them just to catch the ball and I don’t want to have to bring them in just so we can run the football. I want you to be a complete player.’ I really took that to heart and I just really focused on my whole game, completely, and tried to be a complete player and I had a whole lot of fun playing for Coach Linehan.”

i dont care if he is a me me me guy and just interested in his stats. the fact that he wants to better is all i care about. the quote suggests he will try very hard to be the best he can, which is all we can ask for. hopefully him lining up alongside Barron will make Alex get his head on straight since Randy seems the type of guy that will push people into being the best they can.
Its not like McMike will come in, not try and then moan about not getting the ball thrown his way. He is going to try hard so you do throw the ball his way. He will try hard in his blocking so that he can stay on the field at all times, and then when you come to the endzone and are thinking who to throw it to, you think lets throw it to Randy because the guy has been playing his heart out.
