Santonio Ready to Help However He Can
The Jets new receiver, Santonio Holmes is trying to assimilate to his new team and to pick up every nuance of the offense so he can be used in whatever manner once he returns from his suspension.
… Holmes has been trying to learn as much as he can about the Jets’ offense — including all the receiver spots — during the first week of OTAs. He said former Steelers teammate Hines Ward taught him to learn concepts so you can fit in anywhere on the field (in Pittsburgh, though, he said he primarily played the ‘X’ receiver).
Holmes said he has been standing at the back of the huddle listening to the quarterback, what he called a "veteran move" to be able to learn the plays fastest. The Super Bowl champ has also taken another veteran step in trying to hammer home that the Super Bowl is the goal, not individual stats — something that will be important in a season when it seems like there may not be enough balls to go around for all the weapons on offense.
"I came here with a mindset to win a championship," Holmes said. "If I can get in those guys’ heads that I would trade in 90 catches, 1000 yards for a Super Bowl ring, that’s the mentality we gotta have as a team.
"I can go every game this season and only catch two passes a game," Holmes continued. "If we make it to the Super Bowl, they’re going to look at Santonio like this guy was a big help."

WOW! Not exactly the Santonio that we heard about from Pittsburgh. If he carries that unselfish an attitude all year and Braylon does the same (Cotch was already the consummate professional), the Jets’ receiving corps will be elite.

Every Steelers fan was pissed that they traded Holmes. Holmes was never a problem in the locker room or on the field, he just liked to get high and got caught. Former teammates and fans rave about the guy’s unselfishness and hard-working personality.

He sounds like a winner .. He’s confident in his abilities & it feels like he knows the league knows what he’s about so he doesn’t have to put up pro-bowl stats to get a good contract.. The offensive fire power on this team is amazing ..

I watched that whole group of press conferences, and I was shocked at how much I liked him. He comes of well spoken and truly genuine and somewhat of a deeper thinker then I was lead to believe. I think he will be a great addition. He seems like a winner.
Cimini comes off as a real jerkbag in the Revis interview. I think he’s a toolbag.
he sounds like a genuine good teammate, I believe him.
