Around the NFL - 2009

Torry Holt complained 2 years ago  that he never thought his knee was going to be right again and his stats are proving it.

I dont care if its the Rams or not, Holt didnt have one 100 yd game last year--which is telling me hes on a very sharp decline--which is why I think the Eagles try for him on the cheap

so it seems that there's a lot of anti-troy vincent feelings throughout the league about him becoming nflpa pres.  anyone know why?  i always thought he was a well liked and respected player.

When did he say that? In 2007, he had 93 catches for 1,189 yards (12.8yds/catch). Last year he only caught 64 passes for 796 yards (12.4 yds/catch). His average yards per catch since 2005 is 12.8. I think he was more of a victim of a horrible situation in St. Louis than being a gimp.

Holt was quoted by a reporter.. and he let it be known that he didnt think his knee would ever be right again. After that statement and year his stats declined as his words proved to be right--Ill try and find it again

Holt has relied so much on his speed to get separation off the line and you usually saw him past the defender when the ball was in the air..not since. I mean the Rams still passed the ball every game. Im sure he still has solid hands but lets not expect him to bang out 1200 yds and double digit tds again
