thunderingsquid Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Glad to hear that Holmes is stepping up in light of all the doom and gloom post Maclin. Looks like he may have value at special teams too. http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/6/14/15799780/buffalo-bills-andre-holmes-phenomenal-job-sean-mcdermott-minicamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 If he ends up being the suprise guy it wont be much of a suprise to me Living in Raider territory I have seen a lot of him.....he isnt just a jump ball guy like Justin Hunter....this guy is better then Justin Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best gunners in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxy312 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 There's a number of things to like about Holmes. He's a big dude at 6-5. Outside of the TE position, the Bills really haven't had a receiver that big since the bust that was James Hardy. He is a veteran as well. He was coming into his own 3 years ago when the Raiders drafted Cooper and added Crabtree in free agency. As long as Watkins is healthy, I don't see him as anything more than a 600-700 yard receiver at most with Tyrod throwing the ball. None the less, there's a lot to like about having a couple of big receivers in him and Jones to go with Sammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffAlone Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yeah, im not sure why reports say he's penciled in at #3 behind Sammy n Zay. I've said all along that he should be #2 and play the rookie in the slot this year. It will give them both the best opportunity to contribute right away.With his size, he will be a great redzone threat. And playing Jones in the slot againt nickelbacks and lbers should be a win for us on most days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderingsquid Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 To all of you that have watched him before - how are his downfield blocking skills? I would imagine he'd be at least OK there since he has good ST skills and rep. I hope we don't miss any of that with Woods being gone. Woods was a baller in the run game and in downfield blocking on pass plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 has there been a doom and gloom bunch because of Maclin now that's hilarious. Glad I avoided that non sense I'm disappointed we didn't get Maclin, but I am far from being doom & gloom about it. The thought of having Maclin added to this group sounded great. As for Holmes, I'm not surprised that he is standing out. He was in the background with the Raiders, and now has a chance to show something. I've always thought that he would be our #2 WR, not Zay Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 If everyone stays healthy, and if Zay Jones adapts to the NFL the way we hope he does, we'll be okay at wideout. Those are pretty big if's. So however good Holmes turns out to be, we would have been better with Maclin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
