“Holmes will get his opportunities,” Jones said Friday. “I’m seeing him be more consistent. He is getting his assignments down better, for a fact, and you know he’s got that height and got the ability to catch the ball. So that’s why he’s certainly someone that’s got a chance to get to play a lot this year.”

Poor Jerry

Wasn't that the tall dude who couldn't make our practice squad last year? Or am I thinking of someone else...

How is this an excuse to bash Jerry?

Yea i'm sort of confused to what this has to do with Jerry? Because he did PED's? Shouldn't this be a bash the Raiders Owner/GM thread?

 

[RS12]

So lets see. he cant play and he is on PEDs? Reality needs to get those laugh emotions back here pronto. I really want to add LMAO one to this post so bad.

What a reach for the Jerry bashers.

Shouldn't this be moved to rant zone with the turn it took.

 

[TheSport78]

Ahh so that explains his dominant play!

Wait...

Not at all..it's old news for us..sorry to hear it.

The pressure to get the winning edge is just incredible these days. This guy in baseball they just moved from play for PED's and Armstrong..all of it is just mind-boggling to the average fans I think.

How could someone jeopardize their career like that..? Throwing away $100,000 of earnings if not millions for an illegal drug that only has temporary effects at best.

At least we hope it's temporary..right..?

Go figure.

Holmes isnt making millions but Ryan Bruan got suspended in baseball and when he come back next year starts a 105 million dollar contract. For 105 Million I would do any drug known and unknown to man...

I'm surprised it doesn't read "Former Cowboys and current Raider wide receiver"

Poor Jerry

Guys will do anything to gain an edge. My question,what PED was he taking? They never say what the guys are taking when these types of accusations are made.

 

[hornitosmonster]

Why is this a concern for Cowboys fans? Seems like an unhealthy obsession with Jerry Jones.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

When Holmes was here in Dallas, I assume he didn't fail any drug test. The only test he failed to my understanding was last year's conditioning test. As Jerry said, "Holmes will get his opportunities." Well, Holmes got his opportunities and failed. He was an undrafted free agent the Cowboys (and Jerry) saw potential. What's the big deal and the ripping on Jerry for? Other teams saw potential in Holmes. He was in camp with Oakland and I think he had a shot with the Patriots last year after getting cut from the Cowboys. It isn't like it was Jerry and only Jerry who saw potential in Holmes. Holmes didn't pan out. Now, it sounds like we have a better free agent prospect WR in Rogers. So, if you are going to rip Jerry for Holmes at least compliment him on finding Rogers. You Jerry Haters do want to be fair, right?

Oh, and by the way,even though it is early in camp so far. this looks to be a pretty talented team Jerry (and Jason and others) have put together. Wouldn't you say?
