While I think on one hand Johnson should start over priest and also have more touches, I really like this kid angry. I am not sure I would mess with too much right now. I think an angry Johnson is better right now than a happy Johnson.

The way I see it right now, if we get a 17 point lead, up the carriest to Johnson and let Priest rest a bit so that he is there for us at the end of the season.
This tandem is going to be fun to watch. |

I love Priest but, I'll put money on LJ starting before the year is out.

I think we got the right combination... use LJ sparingly enough to keep him angry and hungry... and use him enough to punish the other team, and keep Priest fresh, so that teams arent gunning to knock him out of the game [which has been teh case the past 3 years.]

I like the way we are doing it now. 1-2 punch. Make teams gameplan for both backs.

My side hurts when I think about it...
We've kept Priest as a starter over Larry so long that when he hits the market I think he's gone. I'm not sure how we could have better played this as a team but if giving him the start now keeps him as our long term RB solution then give the boy the start. Priest has thought seriously about retirement at least once already. Given that he has to understand that the team need to protect its future. Hell, the most comparable back to priest, Marshall Faulk, willing took a back seat to their furture this year. It is probably time for priest to start considering doing the same.

This is callous, but my feelings are to ride Priest as long as wel can. Wear him out. Keep giving LJ plenty of carries, but continue to start Priest and let him workhorse it... as long as Priest continues to have some measure of success that is. If he totally drops off in production, then consider LJ. Keep LJ fresh for later in the season.

I think it is quite apparent that LJ needs to be the starter with Priest providing the change of pace.
I hate to quote TJ but "Priest has lost his burst" |
