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.
