What a shame it is that Trindon Holliday hasn't been able to get onto the field this summer. Most roster projections I've seen have not included him, and with good reason. But the kid has world class speed and is a threat to take every kick and punt he fields to the house. He's a true special teams weapon. An X-factor type. Certainly a more dynamic player than Preston Parker. But he just can't get on the field.
I think back to that playoff game against Baltimore in 2012. Holliday scored on both a punt and a kickoff. He also scored 4 other times on returns over the past 2 regular seasons.
When was the last time the Giants had a threat like that at the return position? Ron Dixon?
Get on the field, Holliday.

Cruz
Randle
Beckham
Jernigan
Washington
Holliday
Giants could have gotten him for a song, that is Fresno State's all time kick returner and slot receiver Isiah Burse
would ahve loved Reese to pick him up, was projected to go in rds 6 or 7, but was a UDFA

Don't do an image search online for "Preston Parker" with Safe Search off. I warned you.
What'd you see?
LOL. I just made the connection.
Preston Parker is also the name of a male adult film star.

Straight, I hope...unless you're so inclined to roll that way....
Parker has been used there. And is a better receiver.
There's no doubt Holliday is an explosive returner and an absolute weapon to have but he does not factor into the offense (other than maybe some designated gadget plays drawn up for him).
Parker simply has much more value, especially when you consider Beckham and Washington are both rookies. Giants will do the smart thing and buy the steak not the sizzle here. Need depth and experience at the WR position, even if it means sacrificing Holliday's return ability.
why would the giants IR odell? please tell me their 1st round pick who has been practicing who they drafted to contribute this year will go on IR? why? because he isnt playing preseason games? should have IR'd strahan all the preseason games he missed in his tenure
