Tony Diesel Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yes, we've seen progress with Holmes' play; however, he always seemed to tire too quickly.This makes me feel more confident the RT spot will be solid with Schraeder and Holmes.

I've argued for some time, that Schraeder and Holmes both, made taking an OT in the first two days of the draft unnecessary, and I'm very happy that he's proving me right.

xiv_T_E_C_O_ Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 This is awesome news, Holmes has played well in spot duty, his stamina was always his main issue. Makes me feel better about our offensive line... took him a bit but better late than never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazoo Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 There are scores of very good linemen in the NFL much larger/fatter than Holmes was last year. That said, we are switching to a ZBS where you really don't see many of the larger/fatter OL playing, thus, the switch necessitated the loss in weight.

hjerry Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Lol what? Took him 3 years to do something he we already knew he was suppose to do from the beginning and we are supposed to be impressed? Doesn't change that fact that he is complete garbage. He won't be on the team next year. Book it.Lol, just one more things for the haters to eat crow on, this time come September Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes actually played quite well before getting injured much improved from his 1st year his run blocking left a lot to be desired but his pass blocking improved quite a bitlong term its his job to lose he has more upside than schraeder he also won the job over schraeder last year and out played him in camp i see no different this season even more so if he's in shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be on the team next year. Book it.its not like he was expect to be an all pro day 1look at mathews last year he was a top 10 pick and his dad was maybe the greatest OT of all time and mathews also had the skills as well to be great then look at his on the feild play injured or not he sucked gave up 10+ sack and a ton of pressures as well but nobodys down on him its funny how some like you expect homles to be a good day 1 starter that which rarely happens in todays game Edited April 28, 2015 by THE ICEMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lornoth Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I've been saying for a long time Holmes is going to be our starting RT. He was playing lights out last year before the injury, and now he's in the correct offensive scheme. Lots of crow to go around this coming season.

jeffro2000 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The guy wasn't garbage last yr before the injury. He has improved, and this should only help. We seem to be content to run with the guys we got right now, so I hope for the best with him. Holmes/Schrader/Baker?? at RT/reserves just leaves us needing a guard hopefully.
