I have been saying since the word was out we were looking at Holmes that we should stay away from him. He and Moss seem to be the exact same players. Yes Holmes is younger, but Moss has been a great Redskins, had the most productive year of his career last year, and will come a whole hell of a lot cheaper than Holmes. I just dont see where we need to bring him in. Why not let our younger guys play? Armstrong had a decent year. Kelly (often injured) has had a ton of time to heal and learn and if he is healthy, I see him as a HUGE contributer. Terrence Austin is another guy that can use some playing time. And the two rookies we have, Hankerson being one that can start. We need to develop our younger guys and let them play. Its all about the Oline. If they get this shored up and solid, the QB can git these guys and be very productive. Look at the Pats, Saints. THey have a very pass happy offense and have found some very good quality, and some great receivers by letting them go out and play. We NEVER do that. We dont need another big name receiver, we need good Olineman.
