What did Antonio Brown get right that Santonio Holmes didn't?

What separates them is that AB might be the best route runner to ever play the game, and hes very smart, he understands how to position himself and shield himself from his corner.

Hes the only WR ive seen consistently seal out his man on fly routes like hes a damn shutdown corner. Youd think hes covering his CB instead of the other way around. He plays the game differently.

That being said that asswhoopin we gave him last year was lovely :ahh:

Santonio would show up with the most glossy eyes ever, looking like he piffed heavy right before both halves.

AB isn't a better route runner than Rice or A distinguished reciever for the Colts.

I'm at the point now where it's 1A, 1B and 1C, that nikka AB is unreal. But his longevity remains to be seen so I get it, but when it's all said and done I think he's right there with them.

AB, because what he does after he catches the ball, and you can double him, he still manages to catch quite a few, and he stays in the end zone

Holmes had 1, 1000 yard season, and 8 tds is the most tds he ever caught.

Now granted the Steelers were committed to running a lot more early on in Holmes career

AB is probably the best route runner since Jerry Rice....that’s why.

Man, S. Holmes would not stop smoking weed. That's it that's all. He wasn't featured like AB. Heinz Ward, got the Lions share of the targets. This is why in the Superbowl he was featured exclusively, because Ward was double over too by a safety.

My God, 3 pages and nobody has hit the nail on the head.

Santonio was on his way but like plex before him, got in trouble off the field and essentially kicked off the team while entering his prime. Difference is, a WR can be everything; but if his QB cant get him the ball he is nothing.

People talk about coaching trees. Well bet yall didnt know there's a WR tree based in from them Florida boys. It's the OchoCinco tree. I remember being in Florida and witnessing a young post rookie year AB doing an off season workout with Chad, Andre, Santonio and a few others. In the footwork drills I would come to be amazed at ABs feet, his burst, and his balance. I was like this nikka looks more fluid than everyone else. I knew then AB was on his way.

Back to Santonio, he would've been all pro if he coulda as Stephen A Smit would say, Stay off the weeeeeeeed

ABs work ethic is rivaled by only the tales of Jerry Rice. All the up and coming WRs are trying to follow my dudes steps and get knowledge or a training session in.
