I remember after that first Raiders Pre-Season game Hostile and others were in awe of Andre Holmes.

I said Holmes sucked and Beasley looked like the best of the bunch.. Ahhh good times.

You wouldn't happen to be referring to the Andre Holmes that got picked up by the Raiders and had 47 receptions for 693 yards last year compared to Beasley's 37 for 420 would you?

I use to date George Farmers older sister for a couple years. He was really really good going into USC, those injuries though. I saw him run a 4.3 when he was in high school. Thought for sure he'd be a top receiver coming out of college.

Hostile.. now that is a name I haven't seen in a long time. This website has the best ignore feature I have ever seen.

The same Andre Holmes that plays for the Raiders who had no defense and were ALWAYS playing from behind? The same team that I cannot even name their other receivers who started in 2014? Yeah, Holmes is a beast bro... way better than Beasley. Not sure why we didn't keep him around.

He's been pretty good in oakland

47 catches with 693 yards last year

Lol that's better than twill

Was Holmes a primary target or is more like TWill that sometimes could be the 4th or 5th option. In a standard formation I am sure Romo's progressions are Dez, Witt, TWill, RB, TE2, in 3WR Twill bumps to 3a or 4 in favor of Beasley.

Take it easy; I'm a Beasley fan. I even recently initiated a Beasley appreciation thread here (http://cowboyszone.com/threads/cole-beastley-appreciation-thread.324069/). But the guy I responded to was being a bit impertinent, to put it nicely and the opportunity to take him down notch was too tempting.

Well, fwiw, Andre Holmes did have about 700 years and 4 TDs last year.

Hey, even on Beasley's worst day, he ties up a safety or even a corner. He is one off our best bargains.

I've seen some highlights of Whitehead, Goodley and what little there is of Farmer and the one that stands out to me is Goodley. We haven't had a pure speed burner since Austin broke out in 2009 (not that Dez and Terrance are slow pokes or anything but u know what I mean).

Goodley reminds me of Harvin, without the drama. Dunbar better watch his back or better yet, stay healthy.

As much as I respect Hostile as a poster, you don't get bonus internet points just because you may have been right on a prediction against his. He is no different from the rest of us, so calling him out is kind of petty.

Just happened to notice that Beasley's weight is currently at 190 lbs now, up from the 180 he had when he first arrived on the scene with Dallas. Evidently, every little bit helps, since he claims he's a better blocker now. At any rate, despite quite modest size, he's always been a gamer and is more than likely to see greater action in 2015. Especially so, after having logged the impressive showing that he put in last year. I'll be ooking forward to seeing him test opposing offenses again in 2015, albeit in a somewhat expanded role. Go get em, Bease!

I love how some of these clowns run to their stat sheets like it means anything. Just like they do when they defend Garretts abysmal playcalling.


Let Andre Holmes be the 4th option on a run first team and see if he gets 10 catches the entire season.


Beasley is evolving into a impact slot receiver. A difference maker. Holmes will be lucky if he's still in the league once his Raider tour is up.

You just made me realize even more how much Holmes sucks. Thanks.

Carr had almost 170 more passes thrown then Romo and how many plays do you think Holmes wasn't on the field for unlike Beasley who was constantly not in the game.

Holmes is crap. He was crap in that preseason game a few years ago and he's still crap.
