I'm torn on this one. One side of me says LJ still has things he needs to work on (blocking/receiving) so he should be in during the preseason, but the other side says he should barely see the field, because the fewer times he's hit in 2008 the better.

I couldn't believe how many carries A peterson was getting in the vikes game. Get him like one carry and save him.

Priest proved that he's no LJ without Roaf, Shields, & Co. When both backs were playing behind the same lines, LJ always did better than Priest.

i disagree .... even when Priest came back and was still shaking off the rust he showed things LJ didn't

Priest was a better blocker, a better pass catcher and a more disciplined runner. Priest also showed more heart that LJ to keep running hard even if the holes weren't there early in the game.

LJ starts pouting by half time if the running game struggles

The 4th preseason game is the game teams use to make final decisions on who to keep and who to cut. Also used to establish which running backs will back up the starter and in what situations those back up running backs will come in.

The fact that Herm is using the 4th preseason game to get his proven and veteran running back "some work" only further proves that Herm Edwards has no business being a head football coach in the NFL.

I agree...

So, no LJ tonight.

What happened?

field conditions were suspect so they kept him out

Yea!!! Maybe there is hope for Herm yet??

priest had field vision like no one's business. And he could really put away the nachos.
