Holt....32y/o; Rec-64, Yrds-796, Avg-12.4, Td's-3.

See, we can trade out Thrash for Holt, get younger like most of you want

, and quite possibly get more Td's in the process.

No complaints right.

Holt's numbers were better than ARE's.

Not to mention that he has had 1,000 yrd season every yr except last. He has caught atleast 5 td's a yr mostly 7-10 every yr except last. If everyone is looking at last yr they are sadly mistaken to his talent.

He's definitly an upgrade over Thrash. I would cut Thrash...you know ...the guy who can only get 1 Td a yr if he's lucky. Bring in Holt and let the younger guys play. Holts aging. He is a #1 who would help out the team but I would use him sparingly and in certain packages to create mismatches. Atleast we would get more TD's perhaps and a true #1 until Kelly and Thomas step up and depth.

if the younger guys are going to play..there should be no touchs for Holt..
Moss and Cooley will still get the ball..hopefully the other guys will earn their
looks

and....if the younger guys don't show anything like last yr? what's our game plan? play the same WR's Moss, ARE, and Thrash. You all keep mentioning Cooley, keep in mind he's a TE not a WR. Yes he does catch the ball but he's not a #1 WR. So what's the game plan if Kelly and Thomas still are not getting open or running right routes?

It's been said it takes 2-3 yrs for WR's to become great. We need great now.

Hixon is a special coach, one worthy of every Redskins fans unlimited lifetime loyalty, honor and respect. His name should be added to the ring of honor now. Look at his accomplishments, he has taken every receiver(all 25 + of them) and gotten them prepared every week to get their uniform on, go out and run routes/catch balls to at least an average quality. We could never let him go, because if he were on the market EVERY NFL team would go broke fighting over the rights to this outstanding caliber of a WR coach.

AWESOME CR. We can always hope J. facelift Jones hires him one day

TheSmurfs22 · 03-14-2009, 06:40 PM

Pass. Was a great receiver but not one the Skins need to bring in.

EARTHQUAKE2689 · 03-14-2009, 10:33 PM

i say pass but holt is better than moss to say hes not would be absurd

Ruhskins · 03-14-2009, 11:57 PM

I say pass on Holt, let's give the young WRs more playing time.

I totally agree

budw38 · 03-15-2009, 07:45 AM

It would not hurt to bring him in and put him through a workout ? If he can still run and shows a good burst , make him an offer , if Holt signs and that does not motivate the other wr's , nothing will . I will assume that the young guys have shown enough good things if we do not make Holt an offer . The O-Line is still our #1 issue .

mark my words...despite the Jet's denial... Holt will be a Jet and be back with Coach Henry Ellard..perfect replacement for Coles

Picking up another WR at this point is a worthless move if JC cannot get him the ball. I say we stick with what we have and if our rookies and/or JC cannot get the job done then we address that next year. People say the skins don't have any type of plan but then turn around everytime so was is dropped by a team want us to run out and sign them.

You guys are funny. I don't mean to say lets pick up another WR and screw the OL. I was talking about picking up Holt and cutting Thrash. Thrash's whole career he never had a season where he got 1,000 yrds. Nor did he have like 10 TD's. So to cut him would be no harm done. Bringing in Holt would add a TD or two and the kids could learn from the best. I also never said lets bring in Holt, keep Thrash and not play Kelly and Thomas.

I could see Holt, Moss, and Kelly on the field. Maybe even a 4 set with Thomas. I probably would relegate ARE to 3rd or 4th WR spot.

Holt has like 10 tds the last 2 seasons. He used to average 10 a season. If he was super-cheap I say yeah, But we can't pay him alot we don't have alot and have bigger concerns. Give the rookies a chance they've shown some promise at times, And how many times did JC overthrow him. Anyway Zorn is still ahead of expectation so everyone coming back for a 2nd year with Zorn can only be good.
