FANTASY FURNACE

The Benching Of Santonio Holmes… A Jets player reportedly told the Newark Star Ledger that Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer benched Holmes because he had simply “had enough”. The player said, “.. He quit. It’s happened for the past two to three weeks. It’s happened all season.” He wasn’t even on the field for the last critical two minutes of the game. Holmes has not produced well this year as he finished with his lowest receiving yardage of his career! This after he signed a 5 year- $45 million dollar contract five months ago.

After talking disruptive rants in the huddle TWICE during the Jets/Dolphins game, Brian Schottenheimer benched the Jets star WR in the 4th quarter. Holmes has criticized his offensive line during the year claiming that they haven't given Mark Sanchez enough time. It should be an interesting off season for the 8-8 Jets. Photo: Getty Images
