Balta1701 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 01:46 PM) Considering we are getting negative plays with bad returns, how much worse could we be? He could accidentally run into Cutler on the sideline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 10:46 AM) Considering we are getting negative plays with bad returns, how much worse could we be? I would be a better return man. When it comes to our returns (I actually have no issue with Holmes on punts), we just need to take a knee and start at the 20. Holmes has been ok when he's had blocking and he's had a few good returns, most of which have came back because of penalties. Holliday is a guy that could create some really negative plays so I am leery there as we already have an issue with that to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he has fumbled 11 times in only 133 touches in the last 2 years so a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 01:03 PM) Is that even possible to do? I'm not sure if all of those were lost fumbles but he at least coughed it up that many times which is incredibly concerning. He has 4 regular season touchdowns on returns the last couple years so there is also big upside but the constant fumbling is a huge issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I saw there is a report that there may be 2 teams in LA next year. Raiders, Rams, and Chargers are the candidates. The plan is to play in Dodgers Stadium until a new stadium is built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I did not know that. They built them a stadium too I believe. That is sad but most of their time is spent being Cardinal fans I suppose.

I can't imagine L.A could do any worse. I think the Rams screwed up first by locking themselves into that terrible dome. There should be a sister stadium right near the new Busch stadium. St Louis fans would be there if it was a competitive team and worth going. Unfortunately they combined to have terrible teams and a terrible stadium all at once, and now they look to get out. If any team needs to leave their current place, it is Jacksonville first. There is no reason to have a team there. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the league needs to step in and negotiate an exit there. With all the high paid lawyers the league has, they ought to be able to find some leverage somewhere.

Dick Allen Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 LA with a new stadium is a no brainer for at least one team, and probably 2. They will generate some serious revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
