msw2112 Posted Tuesday at 06:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:53 PM (edited) Hollins has played well and has produced. He's not an all-pro, but he was neither signed to be one nor was he expected to be one. He's met/exceeded expectations as a 4th WR who has climbed up a bit due to injuries. He's never going to light up the stat sheet, but he's made some key grabs, including 3 TDs. He's also a willing and solid blocker in the run game and is a good teammate. What else does anyone want/expect from the guy? On a related note (discussing down-the-roster WRs), MVS had a great stat line for the Saints last week: He was terrible with the Bills and I'm fine with them having moved on, but he did have a good day on Sunday.

I saw that MVS was stellar! They even mentioned during the game "why couldn't Brady get this out of him"? I was kinda pissed at that comment on TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought this stat of his was neat: he has 16 receptions on the year. Three of those went for touchdowns. The other 13? All first downs. That's neat. I was excited 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted Tuesday at 07:56 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:56 PM 1 hour ago, FireChans said: No. I just don’t think it’s a coincidence that when Mack is more involved, Josh has pretty bad stat lines. Mack’s great game and Josh’s 66 passer rating seem inherently linked imo. Just like when Mack got a team leading 6 targets vs Houston and Josh completed 9 passes. Or when Mack was second on the team in targets vs Baltimore and Josh had a 73.9 passer rating and we lost by 25. I want Mack to be Hines Ward. I don’t think he is. Mack had something to do with Josh’s 2 interceptions? He threw Mack 4 passes this week. He caught all 4 for 80+ yards. Situationally, the catches were very important. Similar to last week vs Miami. You’re really blaming Mack for Josh’s bad performances. Like when Josh overthrew Mack…..because Mack wasn’t fast enough…. but stand on that hill bro! Dying, while Mack continues to make big plays and helps us win games in a multitude of ways. 1 hour ago, DrDawkinstein said: I owe Mack a small apology. I thought he was just going to be another Trent Sherfield, and we were going to be in serious trouble if he got any real playing time, but he's been much better than that when called upon. This is what men do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy makes a positive post and give Hollins props- @BananaBis sure to be there to take a 💩 on it. No one is drooling, just giving props. Mack has been a good signing. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda pissed at that comment on TV He stunk because the only way MVS is effective is with a stellar deep ball QB, and Allen just isn't one. Allen is amazing in a lot of ways, but a tight contact deep shot is not a STRENGTH of his. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted Tuesday at 08:07 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:07 PM Bills had a guy last year who caught 55% of his targets, 90+% were TDs or 1st downs. They got rid of him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted Tuesday at 08:13 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:13 PM He gained 690 yards one season when he played a lot on a team with a legit passing attack. I though he might equal that here, given the opportunity: little competition at the position; great QB. He won't, and that leaves me disappointed. But he's a good team-player.

RoyBatty is alive Posted Tuesday at 08:17 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:17 PM Hollins was part of the best offensive play in the last game, the long pass just before have time to Mack and he was smart enough to quickly get up and off the field to save time. I also like how he has been running to the ball or even placing it (he got away with it once) "for the ref" the save time. Guy is a smart, heads up player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2003Contenders Posted Tuesday at 08:28 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:28 PM I will also say that he seems to have developed pretty good chemistry with Josh. Many of his best receptions have been on busted plays where Josh has found him open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to post the same sentiment. That was an incredibly alert and smart play. Gabe would’ve fought for an additional yard and the ball punched out for a fumble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGMcD2 Posted Tuesday at 08:58 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:58 PM Feels pretty likely to me that Mack Hollins will be back for 2025 in a reserve role. This is the type of back end of the roster WR we’ve had a hard time finding in the past. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
