    Just in case you wondered why coaches were kicking away from Holliday this season, witness this game where he got 124 yards on three kickoff returns.

    He still has a tendency to try to reverse field when there's nothing there on offense. But he has improved a lot on his punt return game, and gotten a lot smarter about when he should field or fair catch. He's an extremely dangerous guy for teams with inaccurate/inexperienced kickers, and he'll only get better.

    Yet, we continue to let him ride the bench on offense. I'm not saying play him every down, but give the dude 6 - 10 touches a game. This is stupidity. He got three touches on O today and almost took one of them to the house (39 yds. I believe). He gets three touches and we try to throw the ball to Q. Johnson three times??? Yeah, that's logical since their ability to take it to the house is about the same.

    If Charles Scott up the gut isn't working (which it wasn't again at all today), then try Holliday and run formations where you fake it to him and let JJ run. This doesn't take a genius... Sure the guy will get tackled for nice losses sometimes, but the possible payoff is great. Don't waste your speed.
