I could see Priest being our Marcus Allen next year. - Page 2

short yardage duties and goalline carries. I don't think priest would mind handing LJ the bulk of the load while priest racks up the cheap scores. And I don't think LJ would have a problem with this, as I think he just wants the bulk of the carries.

I think this combo could be o our benefit next year. Thoughts?

eta: Priest also would be better at blocking for trent in passing situations...

You know that is what DV would do.

Your hopes are higher than mine, I can see Priest eating Nachos in San Antonio next year..

Had we used Priest only in short yardage and goal to go situations, he would probably be available now.

The Chiefs can ask for some of his salary back if he retires. he's coming back.

If Priest comes back, he's just gonna have to be the backup. Period. Get 5-10 carries a game. Be ready in case LJ gets injured.

Pasta Little Brioni · 12-11-2005, 11:23 AM

i would like to see priest back next year, but only to give LJ breathers during games and maybe occasional 3rd down back. it would be good to have him back for backup purposes next year.

I'm getting out the torches and pitchforks if that happens. I would have no problem with Priest in the Marcus Allen role. That would be the other team's problem. A really big problem.

ChiefsfaninPA · 12-11-2005, 12:02 PM

We all know how great Priest is, but I do not see him accepting less than a starting role. I am sure he has a ego like all of us and he feels he is still starting material. Hopefully I am wrong and he does come back we could use him.

Psyko Tek · 12-11-2005, 12:14 PM

This could be a good situation
we got Priest on the bench wanting his old job back and LJ running angry to keep his

they're both gonna try and prove themselve as long as it doesn't go back to alternating series the competion could drive them both to new hieghts

Mr. Krab · 12-11-2005, 12:34 PM

Holmes would be a very expensive short yardarge back.

Over-Head · 12-11-2005, 12:43 PM

sure, as long as he don't get hurt or god forbid injured and out of a season or two.

NFL16 · 12-11-2005, 12:49 PM

Not sure about this, but how would Priest do as a wide receiver? Not on every snap but just occasionally.

The man would do well in either position IMO

**Skip Towne** · 12-11-2005, 12:55 PM

He'd be good in the slot. He has great hands.

The thing is, as you watch LJ play, game to game, you see his rapid growth and progress, and see Al develop a better understanding of how best to utilize his talent.

I believe that LJ, in the same situations against NE now would score TDs, where he didn't then.

I'd like to see Priest back for another season, but not in a "Marcus Allen" role, but more of a "Marshall Faulk" role.

LJ's time has come to be the man.
It's time for Priest to take on the role of understudy.
