Astro-Notes: 7-29-17 Third Practice


Recommended Posts

I agree that Holmes isn't likely to be cut, at the least because of ST and being brought in on a vet contract. But if he has a constant case of the drops, maybe we should up our offer to Boldin.

Seems his route running is in question too. Lets hope he can clean that up.

 

I think there is some similarity in the big body big target type.... but Holmes has been more of an outside type at this point in his career whereas in recent years Boldin has operated more from the slot. But they appear open minded to the possibility that Zay could play either role.

 

If Boldin and Jones supplanted Holmes as the #2 and #3 receiver the question would then be are you content to have him at his price as a gunner and #4 type receiver? The answer to that is probably yes... but clearly if Holmes is not in the top 3 wideouts his place on the roster will receive greatee scrutiny.

It is too early to call. Lets hope the rest of the pack can shorten up the distance to #3 WR and create some worth while competition before we settle into

the final 6 ( ?)at WRs.

:thumbsup:

there are some reports that are not pretty pertaining to camp.

I asked in another thread, are they not interchangeable per skillset? Generally speaking?

I will tell you this. He dropped 2 in the hands passes in drills alone. When he did catch in 11 on 11 there was no issue getting yards. Fix the hands and he is a beast. It has been mentioned that McD really liked him in the Spring but TC sepperates the players from the greats right? I will tell you besides Sammy Shorts was the stand out WR day three for me.

EDIT" I do think he was turning his head downfield before he secured ball.
