Football Mags :Holmes to have a great season - Page 3

Steelers · 06-24-2007, 08:26 PM

I really bought into Holmes when we drafted him and I'm pretty happy thus far. Just keep him away from punt returns, and we could have ourselves another stellar WR. The last play of last season has me even more hyped.

i think it all depends on the o-line if ben only has 2-3 seconds to pass we could be in big trouble and neither ben or santonio will have a good year but if the line can learn to block again than watch out

Yeah, I'm looking for Holmes to have a great year as well. This guy is only going to get better with time.

Hopefully he builds momentum from that last game against cincy last year.

Speaking of the return game, any word on Willie Reid? What's up with that foot?

I think he's still injured. If it keeps up, I say it's best we place him either A.)Injured Reserve or B.) Let him go.

of course santonio is gonna have a break out year he is from ohio state and ben roethlisberger is a good qb

Just because he's from Ohio State doesn't mean he's going to have a break out year

But yeah, Big Ben at QB is a good reason.

I think holmes would put up big numbers on most any team. He runs excellent routes, and besides a few punt return muffs, he has EXCELLENT hands.

I don't think he ever had a fumble at OSU in the two years he played, and I know he didn't have any last year as a WR, Fielding punts just might not be his thing. .Not to mentiono, do you want your starting split end fielding punts/risking injury anyways? Not I.

He averaged 14 and 18 YPC his junior and senior year (respectively). He is going to add a gamebreaking deep threat that we haven't seen in awhile. All the comparisons are there to Tory Holt, and if he comes even close to producing like Holt than we are set at WR for a long time. I am really excited about his potenial and can't wait to see him break the long ones this year.

i think holmes has great potential. toward the end of last year he reallystarted to show his talent, and i think wit hthe more experience he gets, the better a player he will become. he could be a big help to the offense this season.
