Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes, right, is thriving in his second season in Pittsburgh, leading the team in receptions (30), receiving yards (536) and touchdowns (six).



BEREA, Ohio -- Like many young Pittsburgh Steelers, former Ohio State player Santonio Holmes had to patiently wait his turn.
A first-round pick in 2006, Holmes spent most of his rookie season as a third-down receiver. It wasn't until the final four games, after teammate Cedric Wilson was injured, that Holmes stepped into the starting lineup and never looked back.
While many players suffer a sophomore slump, Holmes is experiencing a sophomore explosion. He has made a quick adjustment to the NFL in his second season, leading Pittsburgh in receptions (30), yards (536) and touchdowns (six) heading into Sunday's AFC North game against the Browns in Heinz Field.

Steelers Q&A with Santonio Holmes
By The Tribune-Review
Sunday, November 11, 2007


The Steelers, who play the Browns today, traded up in the 2006 NFL Draft to take wide receiver Santonio Holmes with the 25th overall pick, and the Ohio State product has certainly justified that decision with his stellar play.
After a solid rookie season, Holmes has blossomed into a bona fide No. 1 receiver.

Holmes leads the Steelers in every major receiving category, and the 5-foot-11, 189-pound speedster is well on his way to a 1,000-yard season.

Holmes, who has 30 catches for 536 yards and six touchdowns, recently talked to the Tribune-Review about his playing against teams from the state where he starred in college, about quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and about why the 6-2 Steelers have gotten off to such a good start.

Q: How much do you still follow what's going on at Ohio State?

A: "I'm always talking to my receivers coach (Darrell Hazell). We talk once a week about how I did in the game and what's in the game plan for this week. He still critiques me a lot."

Steelers Polamalu, Holmes probably won't play Monday
Tuesday, November 20, 2007
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Strong safety Troy Polamalu is unlikely to play Monday night when the Steelers meet the winless Miami Dolphins in Heinz Field.

Coach Mike Tomlin today listed him as doubtful for Monday's game with a knee sprain. He also listed Santonio Holmes, their leading receiver, as doubtful with a high ankle sprain.

Mud transports Holmes back to high school days

BY JIM WEXELL
For The Tribune-Democrat

PITTSBURGH ? PITTSBURGH ? Santonio Holmes didn?t bat an eye when asked if he had a nickname for the sloppy field Monday night at Heinz Field.

Holmes smiled at the question as if he?d been expecting it.

?The Muck Bowl,? said Holmes, who played in three ?Muck Bowls? at Glades Central High School in notorious Belle Glade, Fla.

Holmes led his team to two state championships, and, perhaps more importantly, to three wins over Pahokee High in The Muck Bowl.

The rivalry is being documented on the Versus network as one of the top high-school rivalries in the country. Both schools are perennial state champs out of impoverished Belle Glade, an agricultural town with the highest cumulative per capita incidence of AIDS in the United States.

The town rests on the south shore of Lake Okeechobee and the residents rely on football almost as much their sugar-cane fields to get by.

Holmes, his cousin Fred Taylor, and San Francisco rookie Ray McDonald are current NFL players who played at Glades Central. Arizona star Anquan Boldin and former Pitt linebacking legend Rickey Jackson played at Pahokee.

Pahokee won at Glades Central this year for the first time in 20 years. The documentary showed a field that wasn?t nearly as muddy as Heinz Field. Holmes said that?s a rare occurrence.

?Usually around that time it rains,? he said. ?It rains at the end of the season and it?s always muddy.?

Holmes didn?t play in The Muck Bowl on Monday because of a sprained ankle that?ll keep him out of tonight?s game as well.

Holmes healing
Santonio Holmes missed the two games before the loss Sunday at New England with a high ankle sprain and said his inactivity -- combined with the fact that he is not fully healed -- contributed to him not being a factor in the passing game. Holmes, who had only one catch for 13 yards, said he expects to be a much bigger factor this week.

He said, however, that his ankle continues to be troublesome because it is the kind of injury that takes some time to heal.

"I'm going to play this week and I don't think I am going to miss another game," Holmes said. "When adrenaline starts rushing during games, it really isn't a factor. But it is tough to go on and, if it wasn't such a short season for us, I would probably be out for at least a month. But the season is short in football, so you have to get back and get healthy as quick as you can."

:lol:

Santonio Holmes and McLovin from Superbad showed up together and did all interviews as a twosome. They said they met at a party earlier in the night and then left the party together. I?d love to hear that conversation.

McLovin says he first approached Holmes and told him he was a fan. Holmes appreciated McLovin?s pot-smoking scene. We have video, but I?m not sure this actually happened.
