Santonio Holmes says he’s not unhappy as a Jet

Re: Plaxico, Santonio & Mason complain about Jets' OC

I appreciate Plax's and Sanstonio's past contributions to the Steelers, but I'm glad they're no longer on our team.

You and me both. I can't stand watching Santonio do his asinine first down point and drop the ball. It irked with the Steelers, and still irritates me now. Especially since he does it regardless of the situation.Watching those two in the fourth quarter of the Raiders game, with their foolish looking hats with the flat brims, both staring at the ground and not talking, made me very glad that I no longer have to root for either of these guys to succeed.

A. Brown of the Steelers does this too. Don't like it. Stop it now kid (Brown) while I still like you alot.

I loved the first down point. I like first downs....

Do you yell at Ben when he does his hand gesture after throwing a TD? What about the Woodley kick? Keisel whatever? Ike hand wave... Troy prayer signal?

All players do a little something and who knows what it means half the time. Sometimes it's to family, those who past, I think Holmes had a tattoo with his area code...

It's a game... celebrate first downs, first downs are good.

Holmes says he’s not unhappy

Posted by Mike Florio on November 2, 2011



Last week, we reported that Jets receiver Santonio Holmes isn’t happy with his role in the offense. On Wednesday, he met with the media for the first time since then, and he was asked about the report.

“Never heard that one. Next question,” Holmes said, per Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. “I didn’t talk to anybody about it. Never heard about it.”

Right.

Asked directly whether he’s happy with his role, Holmes said, “We’re here winning ball games right now.” (That’s nice, but that wasn’t the question.)

In seven games, Holmes has only 22 catches for 311 yards and three touchdowns. That puts him on pace for 50 receptions for 710 yards and seven touchdowns for the full season, and that would roughly match Holmes’ output from all of last year.

But last year he played in only 12 games.

Though Holmes called his numbers a “pretty good ratio,” he was talking about the relationship between his catches and his touchdowns, which per Brian Costello of the New York Post Holmes erroneously identified as four. So while a ratio of one touchdown in every 5.5 catches would be “pretty good” (albeit as to Holmes not accurate), the issue isn’t how many touchdowns he has in relation to his receptions. The issue is that he’s not being targeted as much as he’d like, and the fact that he’s averaging barely three receptions per game confirms that.

Moreover, Holmes got himself into hot water last month by complaining publicly. So now he’s not complaining publicly.

But he’s been complaining privately. And if he hasn’t been, he’s not much of a competitor, is he?

Santonio knows that Sanchez sucks and he had it much much much much much better with Ben. Boo hoo. Cry me a river, smoky. You'd still be here if you weren't a dumbass.

With the way these Young Money kids have played, the Steelers or the fans do not missed Tone one minute. The young guys are a blast to watch. Thanks for the memories Tone. Except the "first down" BS!
