Isaac Redman is ready to carry the load at running back for the Steelers early in the 2012 season. With Rashard Mendenhall healing from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, Redman should be used often in the early going. "Ever since I've been here, I've been doubted by everybody except the players and coaches," Redman said. "They understand the type of player I am, and it's why they've kept me around. They see something in me, so I never doubt myself. I'm ready to get out there. Hopefully, I'll surprise everybody."
