Finding our Trindon Holliday

We all saw what Trindon Holliday can do Saturday and it sure would help if we had a KR that can shift field position.

Jeff Demps, coming off an olympic silver medal, has filed paperwork for the NFL. He originally decided to pursue the Olympics instead of the NFL. But now it looks like he'll be a FA. He and Holliday are the 2 fastest players I have seen in CFB. They likely won't be more than just returners but it's a nice luxury to have.

Before any one says anything about Adams being our KR, he has very little experience at that position. Dennis Johnson was the KR. And like noted, they are different positions that require different skill sets.

Not sure we'd have the roster spot to carry Demps but it's something to look at.

Trindon Holiday is in his third season and has one single punt return for his entire career. He's been placed on IR an been cut and resigned. He doesn't have any experience.

There's a lot more to it than just being fast.

Sure it has to do with being decisive, making people miss, following blocks. But it sure helps to be fast unlike Pilares. In now way am I saying make room for Demps by cutting Pilares because Demps will be nothing more than a glorified receiver out of the backfield/slot WR. I am just saying if we really wanted to upgrade our KR he'd be one of the best options available.

I am very well aware of how long Holliday has been in the league and his situation. Not sure where I said he had experience. He is something special in the kick return game.

Yeah Hester is no good otherwise.

He is good against a good special teams. He is great against bad special teams. Against ours he was damn near unstoppable. If he ever asks for a trade it probably be to someone who played us twice a year.

pilares is fast, but not demps fast. pilares could be a very reliable return guy but i wouldn't object to giving him some competition at the return job. imo, demps has a higher ceiling.

i wouldn't have an issue with it if we brought in. in fact i would love it just to see some people's heads explode at us picking up another RB.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
