Parker,
Sorry to bring this up again and make too much over one play (perhaps), but..
I just watched the play over and over again. The pass was fine. It bounced off Holmes's fingers as he was looking at where to run next, not concentraiting on catching the ball. Too bad too, that looked to be a BIG gainer. One guy had a chance to tackle him but with Priest's speed he could probably have made ALOT of yards. It would have been a GOOD catch, certainly not a GREAT catch. It was thrown to him in stride and if he hadn't tried to catch it, it would have likely sailed right next to his helmet. He didn't even have to extend his arm. Shoulda had that.
The slip on the preceeding play wasn't as bad as it first looked, but it did seem like he ran into his own player.
By no means am I discounting Holmes's ability (and the rest of the offense) to rebound, but let's be honest. He gets a C for his performance yesterday. Meanwhile, Garner looks like a big addition for the Raiders. I wasn't afraid of Napolean, but Charlie scares me when he is in the ballgame.
- Mark
