You have to love NFL receivers! They seem to have more drama surrounding them than any other position in sports. Well, add in Rams wide-out Torry Holt to the list of receivers who hate not getting any attention.Interviewer from St. Louis Post Dispatch: Are you surprised that you're not getting the ball more?By the way, Holt leads the Rams in receptions and is second to Donnie Avery for receiving yards. Lately, Avery has become a go-to guy for Marc Bulger and is getting a lot of attention for his good play.
Holt: "Yeah, absolutely, I'm surprised. But I guess they feel that Donnie obviously has been stepping up and making some huge plays, and they want to continue to get him the football."
Interviewer: Are you frustrated?
Holt: "Absolutely. When you go from getting as many opportunities and touches that I've had in the past to not nearly as many, yeah, there's definitely a sense of frustration."
Again, this is a St. Louis Rams team that started 0-4, then beat the Redskins and Cowboys before losing a close game in New England last week. Crying about your role now looks extremely selfish and petty.

Tory Holt if you want to contribute more to the Rams offense try getting a few yards after a catch, Time after time we see you either go straight to the ground or run out of bounds to avoid getting hit.

Hey sports assassin....you're really a sports idiot. Tory Holt is one of the Best Recievers in the leage and always displays a superior level of talent, class, and dignity. During his previous 9 years with the Rams, he has gone over the 1000 yard mark in every season except his rookie season. He has arguably the best hands of any receiver in the world. And, he usually a leader in yards after catch due to his world class speed. You are just a hack writer and a bum.
