"I don't think I played well, and that made it easy for the fans not to want me in there," Holdman said. "I felt like after a certain point in the season, I wasn't even a part of the team; I wasn't doing anything. I don't want to ever be in that position again."

It looks to me like Holdman showed up to camp in nice shape with something to prove. Could be a good thing for the skins! Let's hope so.

Holdman is one of 2 that were new last year and did not do well. Patten was the other one. Both Holdman and Patten played better before coming to the Redskins than they did here, for whatever reason. From reading various articles about both and statements they have made, both Holdman and Patten could be major contributors if they return to form. Both have said that they have something to prove.

Best of luck to both.
