Dave in Avon Lake now Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I watched the Bills Seahawks game on NFL network last night as I hadn't seen it before. I was amazed how many passes Hollister caught in that game to keep the Seahawks in the game. Didn't know much about him before we signed him, but I can see why the Bills were impressed. Anxious to see how he does for us. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 He is more consistent and a better pass catching TE than Knox, and he sure as hell is gunning for the #1 TE designation in this team, wether that happens or not Idk, but it is one of those TC battles to watch. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Counterpoint - it was 5 of his season total 25 catches. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I still wouldn't be shocked to see a vet TE added to the mix, maybe Ertz maybe someone of lesser name value. But Hollister should be in the mix to take snaps from Knox and any possible vet they bring in. I like the level of depth and competition on the team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Saint, I don’t disagree, but he was relegated to the third TE in Seattle. He has a chance as Don points out for the 1st position with us given how weak that position group is on our team. Considering Holloster has a 67% completion vs. 55% for Knox, and was a teammate of Allen at Wyoming, I think very probable he has a chance. Should be a fun camp. Let the best sticky hands man win. I don’t care which is #1 as long as they prove it on the field. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai San Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 As I have said before and others have also said - may the best TE win and may JA thrive with that person. Hope not tooo many catches are taken from Diggs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Personally, I think people are crazy to think that Hollister is going to be a major contributor. He is your average, run of the mill TE that you can find on any team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that doesn't help, but it certainly can't hurt his chances.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 TBH I thought he made a few very nice catches when the Bills played Seattle this year. One reason I’m kind of guarded about him is that he was signed pretty late in FA. Usually there’s a reason players for players not getting signed earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knox has almost matched Hollister's career stats in 2 seasons, whereas Hollister has been in the league for 4 seasons. I just think Hollister seems like a depth signing. But hey, we'll see.

Would I start him over Know? I would have to be the coach to make that call.....I kinda trust their judgement a weeeee bit more that myself and other TBD posters.

Yet, with a 12 point better catch percentage than our number 1 guy, yes Hollister is not a super star, but he does appear to be dependable, from his college years to present, and as stated, that is an improvement over Knox at this time, should this hold true, I for one will take that improvement. At any rate it’s another TC competition to keep an eye on. Go Bills!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that as an upgrade on what we had last year. If Knox doesn't progress, Hollister is a better player. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollister must be as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
