I'm just happy we have them both.
That being said, it's up to LJ to prove he's better than Priest. Dare I say, RBBC? They have the opportunity to be the best one two punch we've had in recent memory. |

When Priest first started showing his stuff to us, Lenny said "The guy is just stronger than the guys trying to tackle him". I agreed. I am not seeing that any more. Do we have to take sides? If we do, I love Priest but I'll take LJ.

didn't you mention that you don't trust al to do what's right regarding our running back situation? Basically worrying that he wouldn't utilize LJ properly? |

Age catches up with all players, but espcially RBs. |

Start Priest, but limit him to ~15 touches per game. Don't wear him out. He IS old by NFL RB standards. Bring him in when you need 1 yard or to punch it in from 3 yards out. However, let LJ take the beating because he's younger and younger RB's can take that kind of abuse and still be there next week. I'm with gochiefs, I'm scared that philosophy will go right out the window the first time DV and AS start to feel a little heat in a game and we'll see Priest wind up with 30 touches and another knee/hip/ankle issue. I see that as a problem because LJ's short yardage game isn't as strong as Priest's the last time we saw Priest. That said, if you forced me to cut one guy today it would be Priest without hesitation. It's simply an age thing. |

As for the short game, I think LJ needs to see the ball just as much in those situations. He showed definite power last year near the goal line. In fact, I think a split backfield of LJ and Priest with two tight ends and one WR in that situation would be awesome.

I can't believe people are ready to kick Priest to the curb when he hasn't provided a reason to. I'd understand if we were halfway through the season and it was obvious. The guy is stealth. |
