Hollins played 94% of the snaps the year he played for Josh. Something to keep in mind.
His production for that many snaps was not impressive. Something else to keep in mind.

I would suggest he was productive in whatever way Josh wanted, or he would’ve been replaced more often.

Or they had no one else.
The alternative was Hunter Renfroe who missed 7 games, did little the next head and was out of the league the year after and Kennan Cole who got the other half of the renting snaps caught 10 passes and never played again

If they drafted teams then I guess it is more of a real scrimmage.

Yeah I think Unfiltered was thinking the same for a different reason though.

maybe, maybe not...

i see little to no value in Mack Hollins tbh... maybe some good work in camp will change my mind... or it won't

Bourne is the better overall receiver... played exceptionally well in 2021 with McDaniels, and is 2 years younger than Hollins...

I don't hate Hollins, it's just that I don't care about him... he's a bit player not a game changer... but the same could really be said about Bourne at this point...

ymmv

I think someone mentioned this before, but they saw Hollins main value as a core STer first and a solid depth WR who you can count on. Kind of like a Chris Hogan kind of guy. I be happy with that.

I hoping we see some of that 2021 Bourne. The Bourne with over 800yds on about 33% of the WR snaps. First plus is he's back with Josh. Second is this is 2nd year after his ACL, supposedly a plus year on an ACL recovery.

I was a big Mayo guy because I met with him, and he was a guy with great charisma and we heard non-stop about his smarts and leadership abilities going in. I knew there would be growing pains, but I didn't know it was so bad until we saw the difference.
At any rate. I think you have to give most of the players a red shirt year, especially the young ones before we make final evaluations on them.

I get what you are saying
I think Hollins is more of a X receiver
He is a ferocious blocker and very good STer
As a 5th WR he brings so much more to the table than Bourne
He can get on the field even if he is not playing receiver
Bourne cannot

"I'll let you figure out who won the coin flip."

But I'd really like to know who the first pick was on the other team. Some strategy needed there - you don't want one team picking all the QBs, so maybe you need to counter with QB2.

Not to toot my own horn (jk, I will) i did say that - although probably not the only one - but I'll repeat

if this guy sees the field a lot, we are not great in receiver department. He's the definition of a mediocre receiver in this league.

Probably a good mediocre receiver, reliable and willing to put his body on the line, but with a reaaaallly limited ceiling

 

[JoeSixPat]

Just a hunch and probably a bad idea, but I'm going to put the kids tuition on Blue to cover the point spread.

Upset at Reiss for being a fan? Nope

Reiss loves Gillette so much he sleeps with pictures of the empty stadium under his pillow.

While playing injured. Last time Hollins was in Josh's system at Vegas he had 57 receptions, 700 yards, and 4 TDs. But you like to **** on players playing injured.
