Hollings trade bait? - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

Jwwillis · 08-05-2005

With the way Morency and Hollings are playing right now I'd bet Hollings could bring a high draft pick or decent player in a trade. Also, Ragone could bring in something too.

Blake · 08-05-2005

We spent a 2nd on Hollings and I doubt he would bring a 4th in return.

Ragone, I believe we got in the 3rd, and again, I dont think would bring in a higher return. Maybe a 3rd again.

Jwwillis · 08-05-2005

If a team has a need the last week of the trading deadline and Hollings shows something during that time...you never know. How about a quality veteran TE

z0rpAn · 08-05-2005

nah, imo, we keep ragone and drop money bags(banks). I don't know about morency or hollings, but that may turn out for either player.

Jwwillis · 08-05-2005

True Ragone gives us the ability to dump Banks. The problem is having a lefty as a back up can cause problems. His blind side is on the right side of the line, the ball spins the opposite direction etc. I remember when Stabler came to the Oilers it took a while for the WR's to adjust. At least they had training camp to do it. If Ragone comes in mid-season yikes!

Hollings has zero trade value. Travis Henry was near impossible to deal and he has some history. I think Hollings makes the teams and is in many special teams packages.

Jwwillis · 08-05-2005

Right now Hollings has zero but things can change. If Capers gives him some playing time and he does well we will have 4 legitimate HB's If you include Wells. RB's get injured a lot, especially in this age of the little back. They may not get a high draft pick but could get a decent player in return if the stars line up perfectly.

STEEL BLUE TEXANS · 08-05-2005

Hollings could probably get us a conditional 6th or 7th round pick. Let's not overrate this guy thinking he could be traded for a 3rd or 4th round pick.

Jwwillis · 08-05-2005

He has to play the #2 HB to start the season and perform. When he is healthy he can beat the D to the outside, ive seen him do it. If he gets enough carries this year I'd bet he can show more.

STEEL BLUE TEXANS · 08-05-2005

Hollings has been a bust so far. I'd be surprised if he were even 3rd on the depth chart.

nunusguy · 08-05-2005

I dunno....who would want him ? Cass in general has done a real good job, but
when it comes to this guy, well everyone gets atleast one Mulligan and I think
this would be Cass's.

HB:
Davis
Hollings
Morency (Rookie)
Wells (part time FB,ST,HB in short yardage situations)

Most coaches will give the player with tenure a shot at #2 first. Hollings has to show something right away. The front office knows he has to be given a chance to gain value or be a bust.

STEEL BLUE TEXANS · 08-05-2005

Morency is already ahead of Hollings because he has real experience playing the RB position. Hollings was a project to begin with and is one that has failed miserably up to this point. No point in trading him if all we'll get back is a conditional low round pick.

when hollings has been on the field he hasnt looked that bad to me. he was a good receiver out of the backfield. the trouble is he is just hasnt been on the field.
