LogicIsForSquares Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Maybe bring him in as a punt/kick returner? It would be nice having someone back there who isn't going to make everyone flinch during every punt because they are expecting the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gftChris Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Pettine has already said they have no interest in bringing someone back who only contributes on one phase of the game like that, when the Cribbs question was raised. Holmes would fall under the same category, especially with Gordon coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Gordon comes back, Gabriel becomes what, the #4 receiver? I think we can risk that for the sake of better PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 When we played the bears in preseason I felt he still had some juice. You guys feel like he can't go? I think he was just out shined by the bears receiving corps which theoretically should be pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes would fall under the same category, especially with Gordon coming back. Not that I am advocating it, but why do you think Holmes would only be able to contribute on special teams? He is, after all, an accomplished WR. Winning catch in the SB and all that. I don't even remember him much as a PR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they disrupt that for Holmes, for several reasons, both performance and personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was not my question. My question is that someone said they thought Holmes would ONLY be a PR......but in his career, with all its ups and downs, he has primarily been a WR. Why would someone think he would not be used at WR IF he were brought here? He would play WR....and maybe return punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they would disrupt the WR rotation we have currently for someone like Holmes. With Gordon back, we have a very decent group that doesn't need a disruptive influence like Holmes. So that would just leave PR/KR, which is not something you 'disrupt' by changing a player, but the regime isn't bringing in someone for that specific role.

LogicIsForSquares Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 At the heart of it, I just want someone who isn't going to make half of my face droop every time they line up to return a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbedward Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 We don't need another < 6' receiver. I still believe we have plenty of people who can return punts, we just haven't made the change yet. Why not gilbert, Gabriel, Moore, Hawkins?

I think he was just out shined by the bears receiving corps which theoretically should be pretty good Just NO. Happens on this board every time a "name" player gets cut. If you want to call a return average of 5.4 yards on 9 returns this year not wasting a roster spot. Thats the beauty of finally having a good(deep) team.
