Pretty fair write-up. Holmes definitely doesn't have a chance to play outside but his footwork issues, which I think was the main reason he was inconsistent, should be a fairly easy fix.
Knowing Holmes' personality and the confidence he has, it seems fair to assume that he never felt he had to hone his footwork or technique, and felt he could just rely on his speed and athleticism. And a lot of the time, it worked. But he's got no shot of doing that against NFL athletes so I think as long as he is mentally willing to commit to playing with proper technique he'll be successful in the nickel.
