I'll give Holmes credit for having 3 "nice" years behind that dominant line of yours. 3 years does not make a Hall of Famer (see Terrell Davis). I really suggest taking a look at his stats during his 3 years in Baltimore. He broke a 1000 yards only once during that time and it took him 16 games to do it! 1008 yards in 1998! That's about 63 yards a game, the way I figure it. Very ordinary. Put him on a team with an average line and he'll probably rush for 1000 yards with 4-6 touchdowns. Put him on a team with a terrible line and 1000 yards is probably a dream, let alone 100 catches, 17 touchdowns and 1600+ yards rushing. No, he's not L.T. Not even close. Lacking the cutback ability, durability and field vision of L.T., Priest would have been lucky to be Jesse Chatman's backup on the 2003 Bolts!
