Santonio Holmes says drawing so many flags is messing with his stats
“It’s really messing with my catches, I can honestly say that,” Holmes said. “It’s keeping them down by having the penalties drawn. If we can keep stats on penalties per game, per player, I think those yards would add up. We can add them to our receiving yards … They hurt the receivers’ average and how they play and their performance. When you’re drawing so many penalties, you don’t get opportunities to get any catches.”
ESPNNewYork.com’s Rich Cimini did point out that Holmes was laughing, adding that he also said something about not wanting running backs to steal his touchdowns if a pass interference call in the end zone results in the ball being placed at the 1-yard line.
While Santonio was laughing, I’m sure he wasn’t completely kidding. Based on some of the reported hissy fits he has thrown during practice and the way he has quit on the Jets in the past, we know he can be an extremely selfish player.
