Texans released KR Trindon Holliday from the practice squad. I wonder if he'll get picked up. Top-end speed, but very small.

Since it looks like we are in a little bit of a flux at at KR, this could be an option.

However, I don't believe we have the roster space to allow this luxury.

Its a possibility. The guy runs a avgs a 4.2

Our KR game woes aren't really to blame on one guy. I think we could put Hester back there and we would still be averaging 5 yards per punt return.

Better than Indianapolis at .7 lol

The problem with our KR game is that Goodson doesn't seem to be able to judge when to bring the ball out. If you can't take the ball to the 30 on every return now, you might as well take a knee in the endzone. With the Panthers getting called for penalties on their kick returns, those Goodson returns to the 21 or 22 yard line turn into starts on the 10 when you factor in penalties.

Love Trindon. Him and Demps were the fastest players in CFB while he was still at LSU.

But like others are saying, we aren't struggling at KR because of Goodson but more because of the new rule. At least Goodson adds something else to the team. Trindon Holliday would have to add more than just his KR abilities in today's game considering the KR is being devalued.

I honestly think he knows and can judge, but he is so anxious to make a play because he never gets PT.

That may be true. It's a shame that Goodson doesn't get time in this offense, because his skills are tailor made for it. Oh well, we have the 43 million dollar guy in front of him.

The dude is 5'5 RB/KR...he would have no real use on our team considering KR has been made pretty obsolete with the new rule

Many thought the new rules would make KR's obsolete. However, this has been proven to be false....there are a ton of kicks being brought out of the endzone.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      Then Dan Morgan should be on the hot seat. Wasting a first and second rounder in a pivotal year is unforgivable.

      If they draft a 1st round receiver he's gone.

      They addressed D in free agency in a big way (Edge, ILB) and they signed a starting OT and a player they think could be a swing OT in reserve.  They have claimed to be adding "Weapons" to the offense.  I think that will be their focus.  I agree 100% that we need a T, but a reserve, developmental OT in a weak (at the top) draft does little to address that weakness in 2026.  If they are telling the truth, a reserve developmental OT is not a weapon.  The will draft a WR if that statement and their actions in free agency are accurate.  That does not mean we ignore OT--I just dont see where he takes a T if he is filling holes. As a coach, I am concerned about OT, but when I look at the roster, I see bigger immediate problems. S: We are OK if you want Scott for another season. Not ideal.  There is also talk of Smith-Wade being moved to S.  If so, we need a CBN. DT: Who took Robinson's job?  He played a lot.  All DTs (NT-DE) were average to below average, (except Derrick Brown) including 280 lb wharton.  We need a DT (my preference for the first pick, to be honest)  I am guessing a DT will be our third rounder? ILB:  Unless we want Wallace out there in coverage, we need a compliment to Lloyd.  I think Lloyd's starting mate is the second rounder. (speculating)  This pick is likely to occur in the second round because it is for a starting position. WR:  Some are fine with what we have.  sIn 2025, Coker had 3  TDs on 394 yards.  Legette had 3 TDs and 363 yards--and only 1 drop.  I love Coker, but neither should make us feel secure about WR with those numbers.  A lot depends on both stepping up in 2026, but Canales has been screaming weapons.  Could he mean Tight end?  That depends on how good they feel about Coker and XL. Center:  You can get a player ready to start relatively early in the middle rounds.  Very similar to the OT situation but I think C may be more of a priority right now than OT.   Tight End:  They seem to like Delp from Georgia who projects round 4. CB:  There was some talk of moving Smith-Wade to S (to learn for a season with Scott, maybe?) and that might require adding CB depth inside. Tackle?:  I agree that we need one, but this draft is simply not strong at the top at T.  The ONLY way to get a quality OT that is still developmental is to take one in round 1.  Canales has all but said we are not doing that.  But after the first 40 picks or so, they pretty much level out for a good while.  The fifth rounders and the third rounders are about the same.  For that Reason, I am guessing (It is all guesses) that they take someone like the OT from Boston College or Memphis.  Work with the OL coach (OT specialist) for a season.  I dunno
