Anyone know how Andre Holmes is as a player?

[iceman117]

Jerry Jones said he was impressed by Holmes, I don't know a ton about him beside he looks great on paper, 6'5 210lbs runs a 4.5 40..... anyone know how he is as a player? is he a reliable receiver? is he an efficient route runner? willing to catch balls over the middle? does anyone know these things?

 

[CowboysLaw87]

Really great questions. I guess we'll find out in a few months. Big Dre will be on the field quite a bit as it stands right now... that WR3 position is his for the taking.

 

[RS12]

Exactly the purpose of OTA and TC, to find out what they have.

Remember, when Jerry says he's impressed with a player, it might just meant that he "looks good in the shower"...

Has anybody else ever wondered if ol' Jerry was a switch-hitter??

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

No but Daniel Snyder on the other hand.

Jerry likes his bubble.

I wonder about this guy too. Alot of people were invoking his name as the replacement for Robinson, or the next Austin...but I haven't seen a damn thing from him. In fact, the only thing I know of him is that he is on the roster. Highly skeptical he is anything but a project w/ good measurables. Saw more of Radway and to be honest, I was underwhelmed by him too. I hope to be proven wrong, but I think they are nothing more than projects...get enough of them, and sooner or later one will stick around.

Nobody knows squat about this guy. We just have to wait a few months to get the real scoop. I hope he good. I never want to see Ogletree on the field again.

that's because radway was on our team in the pre-season. Holmes wasn't. We signed him to the practice squad after the final cuts, I believe.

From what I've seen, he looks pretty promising

 

[The30YardSlant]

His college film, albeit against incredibly poor competition, looks mighty impressive. I can't decide if that's because of how good he is or because every corner at that level appears to be about 5'9" and 160 pounds. I have my doubts because in college he didnt really run routes, he just physically over-powered inferior players on a lot of deep balls and endzone fades.

No :laugh2:

Holmes is 6-4.5 with 34" arms and a 35" vert. That has be difficult to defend for a 5-10 Cornerback.

I think Coale will have that #3/Slot on lockdown by TC

Why, do you need a date?


Couldn't resist Bear, don't kill me.

 

[DoubleDuece]

I looked up his Wiki site and it says he only did like 11 reps in the bench press at the combine. Not very strong.

Radway only did 6 reps and Dez did 14.

Well, this is slightly embarrassing.....

It's not embarrassing to me if that's what you're inferring. Presumably the guy played somewhere at some point. I haven't seen crap from him, only heard some folks on here trumpeting how he is the latest and greatest and how Jerry thinks he is fantastic. Ironic how none of his 'highlight clips' made it in from the gazers.

I should have said 'should be embarrassing.'

Personally, I'd have gone with 'yeah, my bad.' And left it at that, but that's me.
