Mack Hollins.....He was ready to go

One day after being activated off Injured Reserve.

Wow.

I know we like to think highly of Mack Hollins but Andy has pretty much debunked him as a stiff. What are we supposed to believe our lying eyes and lifetimes of watching football or Andy's unquestionably brilliant (seriously just try questioning it) analysis.

 

[Clonamery]

Perfect energy.

Perfect energy.

Everybody else's sphincters were clenched, he was dancin' his way to the huddle just happy to be out there playing. Dude loves to ball

Watching Hollins dancing in the huddle through the blizzard may be my lasting memory of this game.

I'm glad he's mostly "chaotic good" on the NFL alignment chart.

I just came to see if anyone knows who led the team in receiving today? In the AFC championship?

I’ll hang up and wait.

He dusted Moss off the line on that 3rd down play at the goal line on the first drive of the second half, he was wide open on the slant. Now I will say I am not sure Drake had much of a throwing lane as both linemen on that side did not really rush, they were trying to bat the ball down. I think it was a smart play not to throw it even though he was wide open. Good chance it would have been tipped.

His energy in the huddle in crunch time cannot be understated. You need these kinds of guys. The second most important thing Edelman brought to the Patriots was getting Brady’s head out of his ass when he was having a bad game.

I absolutely loved this also.

Perfect nickname for him.

 

[Dedhampatsfan]

Boy ain't right but I absolutely loved when we signed him. Underated player. More like a TE than a WR. I'll bet he keeps the teamates smiling too.

You wrong, that boy is right as rain.

So can someone explain the Warriors reference?

I'd hope that the PATRIOTS are the Warriors and this is a battle cry for them to "come out and play" hard against their opponent.

Also what's the hand gesture going on with the TDs in the Chargers game and throughout the season?

Kindof looks like they are polishing their balls?

That being said, that scene from the Warriors was always chilling - but the Warriors prevailed in the end so hopefully Mack actually watched the movie!

I can't say I called the Patriots going the Super Bowl, but I DID call the fact that Patsfans were going to LOVE Mack Hollins!

I love the fact that the only time I recall seeing him wearing shoes is when he walked in as a Patriot for Halloween, remarking that respect for 250 years of Independence required him to wear shoes for once!

So can someone explain the Warriors reference?

I think it's a reference to the Pats being road warriors and going 9-0 on the road by beating the Broncos. And somehow for Mack that became a reference to the movie The Warriors.

Also what's the hand gesture going on with the TDs in the Chargers game and throughout the season?

The one where they cover their face and shake their hand? My kid told me that it's Antonio Gibson's move and that the players are doing it to honor him while he's out for the season.

Pop Douglas explained it here (at about the 1:30 mark):
