Priest Holmes IS returning 2007

[ChiefsfaninPA]

Per Sirius NFL radio. Reading the press release as we speak.

[ChiefsfaninPA]

Passed his physical and informed King Carl that he will be there Saturday at River Falls.

[CoMoChief]

YAHOO!!!!!! Welcome back Priest.

[ChiefsfaninPA]

I know I should've just posted this in the other Priest thread, but that has become a Chiefsplanet Editiorial.

[htismaqe]

Let me be the first to eat crow.

Please pass the BBQ sauce please...

No not the KC Masterpiece...

[chagrin]

Nice - now this would be a good backfield; so people worried about LJ maybe will now not worry so much?

Of course we still have a lousy OC (my opinion) so we'll see but this definitely helps take the pressure off, I hope we can still run a screen!

[Brock]

Hmm...this is going to surprise certain people.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

all you priest doubters will be sorry. Because priest is one man you cant doubt. He has beat his doubters every time and i think he will again this year and be the NFL comeback player of the year.

[Molitoth]

Awesome news.

Welcome back to the greatest Chiefs running back of all times.

[kcxiv]

Welcome back Priest. This is good news. LJ, Priest and Bennet? yeah.

[noa]

WOW, I am shocked. I hope he's not just taking us for another ride to get another paycheck. If he's going to do this, he'd better contribute this season.
But man, I would love to see Priest on the goal line again.

I will be the first to say that I'm now drafting Stephen Jackson over LJ in my fantasy draft.

Best backfield in the history of football.

Now that's a bit much...

Cszonka, Kick (hell don't forget Morris)
I forget the dudes in Oakland (King and someone else) and Cleveland (Marty got 2 - 1,000 yard rushers).

We still have to see if our coaches can make it work

[htismaqe]

You don't get to be picky....

EEEEWWWWWWWW

As if the fake smoke flavor wasn't bad enough...

[CupidStunt]

You guys are getting a little carried away... there's no telling how much Priest can contribute at this stage of his career. I personally doubt that he will be able to be a significant contributor and will keep that opinion until he proves otherwise on the field. He's been out of football (contact) a while, certainly isn't getting any quicker, can't hide behind a great offensive line any more and, most of all, is pretty darn old for an NFL RB.

When he puts his mind to something he's not gonna be denied.

I for one said he'd never come back at all. But if he shows up to TC, all bets are off, because the guy has never met a challenge he couldn't overcome.

Tell that to Curtis Martin. The Jets Oline he had is worse than the one we have now.

[tk13]

That Priest authentic jersey I got for like $25 last year is gonna turn out to be a good investment. I won't lie, I hope he makes the team. I don't expect 2003 Priest, but hopefully he can come in and just do some positive things.

I think he can still be a good short yardage back, catch some balls out of the backfield, come in on 3rd down on passing situations. Maybe help keep LJ a bit more fresh for later in the game. I don't think you can ever have too many RB's though, you're always one Merriman hit or Antrel Rolle facemask from losing your starter.

[Micjones]

Welcome back Priest!!!

[noa]

I don't care if he's a regular contributor, I just want to see him near the goal line and in short yardage situations. He was a master. Of course, our OLine looks very different now, but he had a knack for scoring TDs that I hope he can recapture.

[Frazod]

I'll believe it when I see him shedding tackles and hauling the rock. I'm still not convinced this isn't merely an anti-LJ ploy.

[RustShack]

He wants his TD record back!

[Adept Havelock]

Exactly. Priest is all about achieving goals. I'm willing to bet his goal this year is being the 2007 Comeback Player of the Year.

I have no delusions about this. I do not expect Priest to go for 1,000+ yards, 20+TD's, or 60+ receptions. I do expect him to pick us up on third down, be a receiving threat out of the backfield, and pick up the f*cking blitz from time to time. We are NOT going to see the 2003 Priest Holmes ever again, but I'll take what Priest brings to the table for 2007.

I see it a little differently, Mr. tk13. In my little dream, Priest comes back intending to take the starting job away from LJ. That's the kind of guy he's always been. If Hermward will give him a true chance (which is somewhat doubtful since Priest's not a "Hermer"), I think he might just be able to do it based on the fact that he is a more well-rounded, more experienced, all-around back.

[chagrin]

Got a Dungver fan on Sirius saying that he's worried now because he feels this will get LJ to camp sooner.

Also the hosts seem to think this "shifts" the favor to the CHIEFS from the Donks.

Yes I am excited and I am glad to get some hype in our favor for a change!

[donkey_hater]

Great news! Makes you wonder what LJ is thinking right now. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall when LJ heard the news

[noa]

Time for LJ to put his diapers back on

Exactly, and that is why you gotta love the guy. I get giddy just thinking about, the very remote chance, of him taking the starting job away from LJ.

I know it is far fetched, but it would fun to watch.

I bet the execs at HBO and NFL Films are peeing all over themselves at this latest development.

[JBucc]

I believe I had this one all along. Yep, I was one of the believers...

Anyway whatever his motivation for coming back is if he can contribute, glad to have this nacho loving bastard back.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! You guys all had me convinced I'd never see him in a Chiefs uniform again. KEEP ****IN DOUBTING PRIEST HOLMES!!!!!11!!!!!!11!!!!!1!!!! Welcome back PH, tear it up like you do.

[tk13]

It certainly does give the front office a little more leverage...
That's part of it... but honestly I'm for anything that pushes LJ to run harder too. I honestly don't expect Priest to take his job or anything, but if LJ wants to look over his shoulder and start running angry again, I wouldn't complain. He certainly ran better going for Priest's job than he did after he got it last year. I know the O-line stunk, but he still ran for 5 ypc behind Jordan Black and company the year before.... he wasn't breaking that one arm tackle or two he always broke to get extra yardage. Maybe that's part of the reason I'm excited about this too. You know Priest is gonna come to play, I hope him and Bennett push LJ hard.

[DaFace]

Wow. I really thought he was done.

[Chiefnj2]

I just hope he doesn't sustain a serious injury.

[MOhillbilly]

a recieving threat out of the backfield .:clap:

Is it coincidence that Herm said at the OTA's they planned on using the backs as receivers more this year? :hmmm:

Kick ass my priest jersey isn't worthless for eating nacho's in anymore!!!1111one

This should make training camp and pre-season interesting, id love to see if he has anything left.

He probably couldn't care less. LJ is the man and knows he's the man.

On the other hand, I would bet Marcus O'Keith and Derrick Ross have had better days.

Weigmann's on Sirius talking Priest.


Said "they" weren't expecting him. Said LJ and PH will be a deadly backfield.

[chagrin]

sorry

[Demonpenz]

Alot of people don't know this but I went down to the deepst parts ot texas, there in the parts no one talks about in a old workout room priest was locked up and worked out for 2 years. Carl would sneak down there and shove power bars under the doors until priest heard the whispers that he had been waiting for all his life.

*The door opens slowly*

"Priest.....it's time"

[Mr. Kotter]

Welcome back, Priest. :thumb:

Honestly, if anyone can do it....he can. With the LJ situation, Priest's nose for the goal-line, and potential third-down contributions....it's worth looking at. Got nothing to lose.

Mentoring Smith could be another fringe benefit, though that doesn't seem promising....given Priest's stand-offish demeanor. :hmmm:

Of course, it just may be another attempt to leverage the LJ negotiations too.

Damn it, Carl!!! :cuss: :cuss: :cuss:

Said he hasn't talked or seen PH in YEARS. Not sure having this amount of time off is going to affect him. Said Herm and Solari like to pound the rock so this plays into what they want. Doesn't get involved in the LJ holdout talk because that is the business side. Said LJ deserves the money and he wants to see him get paid.

[InChiefsHeaven]

How old was Marcus Allen when he came to KC?

[cdcox]

I'll believe it when I see him shedding tackles and hauling the rock. I'm still not convinced this isn't merely an anti-LJ ploy.

Beat me to it. Or that he might change his mind part way through TC.

[DaFace]

My main concern is that he won't be anywhere close to the shape he was in back in the day. He was starting to slow down a bit back in 2005, IMO, and two years off can't help things much.

LJ wont hold during the regular season.

[ChiefsfaninPA]

Weigmann's on Sirius talking Priest.


Said losing Shields and Green is taking a toll on him. He doesn't know anyone on the line and it will be different getting used to all the new faces but he will adjust. Wants to see PH comes back to play and help the team win not just get paid(he said some players come back just to get paid, didn't say PH though). Not sure who will be starting, Huard or Croyle. But expects Croyle to be alright as long as he plays smart. Thinks the D is much improved and will help the team this year.

[CanadianChief]

Sweet..now we can trade LJ to Green Bay for their 1st round draft pick next year.

Bennett and Priest are going to be MONSTERS this year!!!!

[FAX]

For those skeptics who believe this to be a mere stratagem devised by Carl and Priest to gain leverage during LJ's contract negotiations, I offer the following:

Priest has always walked to the beat of his own nacho man. There is no way he would allow himself to be used in order to facilitate the signing of another player. The only way he would come back to football is to play hard and win football games.

[HemiEd]

or someone that will,or even trys to pass block.

FYP :D

[Demonpenz]

I ****ing complanined in the madden thread that there was no priest. Special No burst feature

[cdcox]

I think this keeps LJ out of camp until the first preseason game. Carl gains leverage with this move, but that leverage isn't ratified until PH shows that he is not washed up on the field. If I'm LJ's agent, I'm going to make the Chiefs prove that PH is for real.

I agree it's unlikely.

However, it could be a fatefull coincidence....of Priest's decision, and it just happens to work to Carl's advantage. I don't think Carl is using Priest; however, I can see Carl using the situation to TRY to leverage his position some.

I agree with MOhillbilly though; LJ won't holdout for the season, so in the end LJ will play....and we will pay him pretty darn well for it too.

[Donger]

Holy sh*t. I feel like break dancing.

I am glad he is back, but I agree he will not be the Priest everybody remembers.. Hopefully he makes it the whole season and then can retire in peace knowing he gets NFL benefits after finally completing his 10 year...

[RealSNR]

This is HUGE.

Think how much better this will ease Croyle into the pace of the NFL. Two back set with LJ and Priest, the most complete TE in the game, and a couple of receivers. Take a couple of steps back into the pocket, look around, and all of a sudden he has another short option to take pressure off. If that isn't enough, he'll also have Priest in pass protection.

Trent relied heavily on Priest in his 2002 campaign after he sucked dick in 2001. It's how he became a great starter for us, and I think it can do the same for Croyle, just having that pitch-off option available.

Fantastic news

[noa]

On NFL Live, Mort just said he expects LJ trade talks to heat up

Yepperooskis. Assuming that Priest can actually play and LJ actually signs and Herm gets his head out of his ass crack, a two back set with LJ and Priest presents some very interesting problems for a defense.

You have to assign somebody to watch for one or the other in the flat and stuffing the box becomes a far less attractive option for a coordinator.

[Sully]

So after a little bit of time thinking about this, here are my not-so-initial thoughts.
Although I like LJ's style, the smashmouth type of tough runner, watching Priest on a sweep was like poetry. His patience, his burst through the hole, it was a beautiful, artistic type of football that is rarely seen.
So the fan part of me is elated about this news. In some parts of my imagination I see Priest playing a couple of years at a high level, making the cuts into open field, making a short pass into a long one, etc.
However, that is tempered by the fact that he is older, and nearly 2 years away from the field, in any sense. With that I worry that it may have passed him by. I also wonder what this will do for the chemistry of the team. Will we return to a situation with a divided lockeroom with some in the Priest camp, and others in the LJ camp? Of course, to flip that, again, the NFL is increasingly going back to a RBBC approach, and what better duo could there be, if Priest can come back to anywhere near the level he once played.
I guess I'm torn. I get butterflies thinking about the maybes of the situation... But the cynic worries about the bad this could cause.

OH SHIT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priest_Holmes

Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson said that medical tests on Holmes have been encouraging and Holmes hopes to return for the 2007 season.[3] On July 25, 2007, the day before the Chiefs were scheduled to leave for training camp, Priest Holmes asked the Chiefs if he could attend camp. Larry Johnson was in the middle of contract talks, leaving the possibilty of a holdout. Holmes could act as leverage to re-sign Johnson or even reclaim the starting position for himself if Johnson decides to sit out.[4]

[Redrum_69]

Holmes is an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes

He's had two hip injuries, a broken neck, smashed head, toe separation, multiple leg breaks and a ouchie on his thumb, Mr. JBucc.

There are so many weird angles to this. Kind of throwing a wrench in the whole team. But at the very worst we are left at the situation before this announcment. Which is not a bad one even though some disagree.

- The big winner in this without a doubt will be the ratings for HBO's "Hard Knocks" show.

- Holmes is really so old and so injury prone. I am excited to think about him going again out there but it seems so unlikely he could put it together.

- In what universe would LJ be able to play nice with Holmes back there.

- A healthy and signed LJ and Holmes has the potential to be an amazing threat. If used correctly with each player being ok with their role.

- If this pans out I can't think of a better situation to let a young QB grown in this league. It could really be great for Croyle.

I really can't decide if I think this will work or not. It is nuts.

'02 - Hip injury against DEN, missed last few weeks, later in offseason he wanted to get paid more after he was all healed. Drafted LJ as insurance policy.

'03 - Sets what was then the TD record. LJ sits on bench with the exception of garbage time. Lose to Colts after he fumbles the damn rock that should have been a KC TD. Let alone the TonyG BS pi call and NOT ALLOWING THE COLTS TO PUNT THE ENTIRE GAME. '04 looks promising.

'04 - Hurt his knee IIRC. LJ got his chance to see what he could do. Played well which lead to 2005.

'05 - Wanted to split carries with LJ and Priest to take load off of Holmes. I still remember that first drive against the Jets where it was Priest for a 30yd gain and then LJ with one as well with a TD score. I thought that was gonna be the starting of something really really great. That was the best rushing scoring drive I've seen in KC. Then against SD Merriman knocks the shit out of Priest leaving him injured to this day.

Hmm...this is going to surprise certain people.
I'll admit, it surprises me. This could be interesting with 4 legit RBs (Johnson, Holmes, Bennet, Smith).

Smith to FB?
Smith to the practice squad?
Trade one of the top 3?

[trndobrd]

There are so many weird angles to this. Kind of throwing a wrench in the whole team. But at the very worst we are left at the situation before this announcment. Which is not a bad one even though some disagree.

- The big winner in this without a doubt will be the ratings for HBO's "Hard Knocks" show.

- Holmes is really so old and so injury prone. I am excited to think about him going again out there but it seems so unlikely he could put it together.

- In what universe would LJ be able to play nice with Holmes back there.

- A healthy and signed LJ and Holmes has the potential to be an amazing threat. If used correctly with each player being ok with their role.

- If this pans out I can't think of a better situation to let a young QB grown in this league. It could really be great for Croyle.

I really can't decide if I think this will work or not. It is nuts.



I seem to recall a statement by PH that if he came back he knew it would be as a role player, not a starter, and that he was fine with that.

LJ has been pretty adamant that he does not want as many carries as he had last year. If PH could come in for 2-3 carries and 4-5 catches a game, I think everyone would benefit.

I am pretty sure it was his knee in college. That opened the door for Ricky Williams at UT.

[HemiEd]

02 hip
04 knee
05 neck

In my opinion, two out of three of those were illegal plays by the opposing defense.
1)The "horse collar tackle" is now illegal, it wasn't in '02 when he sustained his hip injury from it.
2)I honestly don't remember the knee injury.
3) Merriman clearly speared him when he received the neck injury.

My reason for stating this: He has had injuries, but I can't call him injury prone.

While this is good news, I'm not going to get too giddy before He actually makes it through camp and PS healthy, and is suited up on September 9th at Reliant Stadium.

His potential return does make things a bit more interesting.

Assuming he makes it to the regular season:

Does this get LJ to camp a little quicker?

Does having LJ, Bennett AND Holmes mean Kolby Smith could be playing FB? See ya, Boomer.

The return of the screen pass, PH style.

Two possible trades that the Chiefs didnt trade for future picks...

and the next four seasons they accumulate 7 wins

Herm retires a loser..and peterson is booed out of KC...and the Chiefs get moved to North Dakota...

Sickening, the fog is clearing a little now. The other two injuries are still vivid in my mind.
That horse collar from the Bronco's was horrible, he was helpless, something had to give.
I think the spear by Merriman was worse than the hit Gaethers put on Trent. They just don't protect RBs.
I remember shortly before that happened, he was being interviewed and stated: "they are trying to hurt me"

Never ever thought he'd come back.

That was in the column JoPo wrote on Priest a few months ago, which, considering recent events, deserves to be bumped back up to the top.

But when Priest said that to T-Rich, it was like a half hour after he'd been taken out and Priest didn't realize it. So he was pretty messed up.

Playing devil's advocate here but this could all be a ploy by Priest to keep his signing bonus. If he is medically cleared, goes to camp, dogs it and gets cut he keeps his signing bonus. If had retired he would have to pay a large portion of it back.

I saw this on Yahoo!, it might be relevant:

And Priest hurt his knee against Tampa, not Carolina. Carolina was the 2nd game of the year. Tampa was on the road and marked the first time LJ had gotten any real game action. At the time he got hurtin '04, Priest was on pace to break his own TD record from '03.

Soap Opera 101, but I'm glad Priest is back. I seriously doubt Priest being in camp will have an affect on LJ's contract negotiations. LJ is long-term while Priest is an interesting story if he can actually play in any games.

I still think that following week was maybe his greatest performance. According to Teicher he was walking on crutches all week, everybody thought there was no way he'd play, he could barely walk. Then he showed up and played on Sunday, and not only played, carried the team, and then almost ran down Marcus Coleman on that 99 yard INT return. Of course we turned around and the defense choked it away at the end, but for my money that's still probably the gutsiest performance by a Chief in recent memory. If we had 53 guys with that kind of heart we'd be in the playoffs every year.

I contend, Merriman was trying to injur, not tackle. I have hated that SOB since then.

I don't care if he's a regular contributor, I just want to see him near the goal line and in short yardage situations. He was a master. Of course, our OLine looks very different now, but he had a knack for scoring TDs that I hope he can recapture.That is because he is patient, and knows how to "set" the blocks in front of him, then burst(lol) through the hole WHEN it is there.

Yet, since you are a poster whose reputation is without peer or tarnish, I say this with all respect; Perhaps it would be best to view this from a more positive angle.

Priest Holmes is the greatest running back to ever wear the red and gold for the Kansas City Chiefs. He is a record-setting, pass catching, screen running, backdoor-cutting, pass-protecting, outside-slashing, phenom who has rested his legs for 2 years and wants to prove himself on the field once again as he has done time after time, against all odds, and in spite of what the pundits have said about him.

Give the guy a chance.

FAX

[Direckshun]

I don't get why people are under the assumption that Priest and LJ can't get along.

The KC Star's Joe Posanski, in the last major article he wrote about Priest, interviewed the man himself. Priest had discussed how he would love to be the 3rd down and goal line guy and give LJ a rest so he wouldn't have to carry the ball 400 times.

That was a direct quote. Somebody smarter than me needs to link the article.

We all know LJ wants the ball, but he doesn't want it 400+ times and he definitely doesn't want to break the carries record again. If Priest had game, there's no reason LJ would be opposed to Priest filling in for him occasionally to keep the offense moving so, in effect, LJ could get more action. It's not brain surgery.

The only potential conflict I could see is the red zone. A healthy Priest was a red zone force the league had never seen before. If Priest has any value to this team, it's in the red. But LJ's a scoring force himself, and it's possible that quibbling over who gets the carries inside the 20 takes place.

But this is LJ's team. Even with Priest, he's still literally the most valuable player in the NFL. Priest likely won't even be able to beat out Bennett for #2, so I doubt we'd see Priest get more than 50 carries on the season, if he makes the team at all.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Priest has had 2 years off to get healthy. He's played long enough to know what kind of shape he needs to be in and I really expect him to show up ready to go. It'll take a while to get the football legs back but he is showing up at the beginning of TC to do that. That tells me he wants to do this for real and not just putting on a show for his or Carl's sake otherwise he wouldn't put himself through that kind of abuse.

[Buehler445]

WOW! I gave him a -5% chance of coming back. I lose. Either way, I hope this works out. Priest is neat, and LJ needs a break. I'm anxious to see what this does to the following scenarios:

2. The depth chart
3. Kolby Smith's development
4. Bennett (If PH can back up LJ, do we need Bennett? He is made of glass anyway)
