TH can be a weapon

[MTC]

Interesting fact: Colts put a waiver claim on Holliday when the Texans waived him back in 2012. 

 

He's a dynamic KR but he has major fumbling issues.

yep

[UKCOLT17]

defo would be good signing can take to house we seem to have a pretty decent special team aswell

[TKnight24]

We must have the day off today. Caused I'm surprised he'd step in the same building with the Punter who bulldozed him

But in all seriousness, if he learned how to hold onto the ball I'll take him. Need a spark at KR. Wish they'd let Purifoy do it though. Maybe they're cautious about Toler holding up and don't wanna shorten the DB depth Idk

[braveheartcolt]

The last thing we need is a muff machine.

[ruksak]

He makes too many mistakes. Not excited about this one. 

[PrincetonTiger]

He provides a spark that we do not have

[PrincetonTiger]

Who will be let go if he is signed

[jvan1973]

He fumbles a lot, but is very explosive.

[Devildog]

I think TH will be thrilled to see the Boomstick...

If they are in the same jersey Color

[CR91]

trindon do you really wanna get knocked out by the boomstick again

[Coltswarriors]

Ugh, I would love to have him as he's a play maker on STs, but he has serious fumbling problems.

 

If we can somehow fix his fumbling issue....

[Boiler_Colt]

We already have turnover issues, is he worth the risk? Then again, Griff didn't really do himself any favors the last couple weeks

Griff has had some real struggles

[RockThatBlue]

Torn on whether it would be a good signing or not. Dude is very explosive and fast as heck, but has problems holding the ball.

[CR91]

I would actually love to see us run holiday on a jet sweep like the seahawks do with harvin

[Superfly Jay]

Not the little midget

Harvin had minus yardage running that play this week.

thats one week

I'd like to sign him. He's a great returner. I know the fumble issues are well documented, but I'd like to take the chance. He has the potential to be an explosive playmaker on special teams.

 

Based on us using the waiver claim on him several years back, I'd predict we sign him...wouldn't surprise me if they booted Holmes to practice squad to make room. He's eligible.

[Superman]

I don't necessarily mind this, but I wonder why we don't just give Purifoy a shot and see how it goes...

Holmes could the man cut

Can't boot a player to the practice squad. You have to waive him, then he has to clear waivers, then he has to agree to sign back to your practice squad. So I think that's highly unlikely, especially with the interior line issues that other teams have.

[21isSuperman]

You gotta wonder what's happening.  Griff has been inconsistent as a returner.  It makes you wonder why they aren't giving Purifoy or even Moncrief a shot at it

[lennymoore24]

They aren't going to waive Holmes.  Come on.  Sure, maybe the guy is a slower healer, but they aren't going to cut Holmes before Shipley or other positions.  He is a young, high draft choice.

[chad72]

I am not a big fan. Its a boom or bust move with Trindon Holliday, I always felt. He would make dumb mistakes at critical moments in close games by fumbling or turning it over or bringing it out to the 10 yard line to get tackled etc.

 

He cannot contribute as an RB or WR from what I have seen and heard, so we will be using a roster spot for only the boom factor related to his returns hoping it will show up more than the bust factor on his returns.

[CR91]

Holmes could the man cut

 

I doubt it. theres others likely to be cut before him like jalil brown

[Valpo2004]

Pass, I would rather not go with someone with his fumbling issues.

[1959Colts]

I like Whalen but Trindon Holliday is one of the top return men in the league.

Hope they sign him.

[wesd2890]

At the end of the day.. hes not on a team for a reason..

[crazycolt1]

thats one week 

Do you think that 22 catches for 133 yards with no TDs and 11 rushes for 92 yards and 1 TD are good numbers in 5 games? Somehow I think you over value him.

you do realize seattle isnt a passing team right? you got lynch turbin and wilson all running the ball

He didn't do much on the RB/WR front with the Broncos either. Like I said, return skills boom or bust player, you have to cross your fingers and hope that it is more boom than bust everytime.

all I said was give him a few jet sweeps. didnt say make him the foundation of our offense

[chad72]

I'd rather do that with T.Y. so that our play calling is not limited, that is my point (unless you want to waste a few plays just so that you can get Holliday on the field).

 

T.Y. Hilton is just as fast as him and we can run way more plays with T.Y. on the field. With Trindon Holliday, you cannot run him between the tackles, you cannot play him like a Sproles since he does not function well as a WR with his back to the QB, and there will be too much predictability because of that limited nature.

All I know is the bottom line and Harvin don't have numbers to be considered a top player. All he is to the Hawks is a decoy and that has worn off here lately.
