Warrick Holdman

Holdman had some bad games lat year early in the season but it seemed he played much better in the second half of the season. It woul be nice if he could repeat his 2001 season with 143 tackles and 3 forced fumbles and to have numbers like that you have to have talent.

That's his only good year though. It was probably just a fluke.

Grrrrrrrrrrr. [so angry, unable to respond in actual words]

Echo! Echo!

He didn't play the second half of the season. Dont you remember him bitching and crying about not playing, and refused to talk to the media once he got benched. this dude use to be pretty good LB, and when we signed him I thought is was a good move. But he just doesn't seem to have the desire, the drive. He was getting 1 tackle or two per game. Playing weakside LB you have to be more involved. I say we go w/ Clemons or McCume. Holdman is going to bitch and moan if he doesn't play and create problems amongst our LB core.

I look at this as good news as long as he's cheap, which I imagine he is. Lindsey said he thought HOldman underachieved last year but is capable of playing better. This is just insurance, if clemons can't win the job & a rookie isn't ready (or mccune) yet, we'll play holdman on running downs. OUr d was solid when he started, & it can be again.
I'm still dreaming that lavar will fire the postons & make peace w/danny while resigning w/us, but there's not good odds of that happenin.

Does this mean we should expect a Lloyd extension, or do we wait until after draft, or even after July 1st. I think Holdman was the last remaining RFA or UFA we needed to sign.

this is a good signing believe it or not. we get a veteran who knows the system who certainly has the talent to be great still, he just needs to play up to it and im glad we are giving him another shot

I'm willing to bet the contract is at the vet minimum, or close, for a guy who knows the system. He's not the answer, IMO, but a bit of depth and experience. And who knows? Maybe he'll step it up.

The real hope is that one of the younger guys steps up in camp.

One bad year and everyone writes him off... sounds familiar.

what about those people who wrote jacobs off after a year? OR raymer after 2004? Are you going to contest those guys too?

Jacobs is entering his 4th year, Raymer is a long-time vet. Different circumstances, Jacobs hasn't done jack, Raymer had a pretty decent career but is obviously falling off.

I'm looking at the entire body of work here. Holdman has had a pretty solid career up until last year. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and say last year was more of a fluke than anything.
