torry holt would be my personal pick for best hands btw. As well as being the best route runner.

He had a high ankle sprain in the first preseason game.

He says he'll be ready for Thursday's game.

Unless you just want to see your punting unit or something, is this not a dumb call? You need to score two times more often than the other team, and you are giving them back the ball with ten minutes to play, when you only need a half-yard?

I hate that call. Then again, I hate a lot of NFL coaches' calls. I don't think they have a good grasp of probabilities.

Yeah, I hate this call too. Maybe it was just cuz it was a pre-season game, but I think teams punt way to often in short yardage situations.

See i completely disagree with that. I havent seen this game so im not gonna comment on this particular instance but ive seen so many coaches go for it in situations that it makes no sense to go for it in and i think its largely because they dont want to be labeled cowards.

The pete carrol decision to go for it on 4th and 2 against UT was the dumbest decision to go for it ive ever seen. It cost him a dynasty and a national title. Way to go genius.

So if we had to, who would be the best veterain reciever to pick up that would play at third?
