I'm honestly not even sure he does that for them. Holt's decline on the field the last two years has been pretty steep; I don't think they should even expect last year's Torry Holt, which, frankly was only a decent #2 receiver. He will likely be an upgrade for them, but that's more a comment on the sad state of their receiving corps. I think the only hope for the Jaguars with Holt is that he can experience a slight uptick without the knee injuries he suffered from last year. But his health is likely at least as much a function of age as the other aspects of his game that have been waning. And its not a big leap of logic to wonder if those nagging injuries may finally lead to something bigger that could knock Holt out of the lineup. Holt's been very durable (missing only 2 games in his career) but he'll also be 33 by the time camp opens and, as Marvin Harrison has become a pretty good recent example of, sometimes it just goes all at once.
