JoeF Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Good catch.....its Warrick Holdman who played for Jauron in Chicago..here is the Scouts, Inc. Profile Holdman has good athletic ability, speed and quickness. He has good range, he is a very good space player and he has good awareness and instincts. He is fluid in his hips; he has good change of direction skills and initial quickness. He has a good motor and he has enough speed to make plays from sideline to sideline. He does a good job of avoiding and slipping blocks. He is a good open field tackler, he breaks down and he will wrap up the ball carrier. One of his strong points is his pass defense. He has good awareness; he gets good depth on his pass drops and he knows where the ball is going. He is effective on has jam at the line of scrimmage vs a tight end or slot receivers and he can turn and run on man to man coverage. However, Holdman is not very good when he has to play in the box. He lacks size, bulk and strength to shed blockers. He can not hold up at the point of attack. He plays too high, big linemen are able to get under his pads and engulf him. He is not good when he has to stack and shed vs run at him and at times he will get physically overpowered. He struggles getting off second level backside blocks; he gets caught up in traffic and taken out of the play. Overall, Holdman he is around the ball a lot but is more of a pile watcher than a playmaker and he plays very inconsistent. He is an adequate starter when he is healthy. Stat Link: http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/133309 From the assessment--does not look like he would help attack the run much. Could be veteran depth and maybe DJ's version of Eddie Robinson -- hope Pennington doesn't fake him out....yikes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to get excited about here, this would be for depth and doesn't solve the true need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
