Holmes says he'll return to top form

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chiefs halfback Priest Holmes said Wednesday that he is as optimistic as he's ever been about the upcoming season and his comeback from last season's hip injury.

"I'm excited to be back on my feet again running,'' Holmes said on WHB-AM Wednesday. "The reason I'm still excited is that just four months ago I was on crutches.''

Holmes, who spent an hour on the Kansas City radio station, said that he's been running for two months and he's even been pulling a tractor to built up the strength in the legs and see how the hip responds to stretch. He expects a full recovery from the injury.

"I've always looked doubt in the eye and have always come back,'' Holmes said.

Holmes missed the final two regular-season games last year after suffering a deep hip bruise. Holmes said that he felt that he could have done damage to his career had he played those games.

As it turned out, Holmes began training after the season with hopes of reducing the swelling and pain around the injury. As hard as he worked out, Holmes didn't feel right. He compared training to trying to go up a ladder.

"I wasn't going up, I was standing in place,'' Holmes said.

MRIs of the hip did not show any problem, but he kept going to doctors when the hip didn't feel better. During the offseason, Holmes visited four doctors, including a hip specialist. Eventually in March, they found some loose bodies around the joint, which required what was considered minor arthroscopic surgery.

Holmes said he felt as soon as he had the surgery that he was going to be fine. Unfortunately, because the scope had to go through muscle to remove the loose bodies, Holmes had to stay in crutches for four weeks.

"I knew the surgery was successful immediately,'' Holmes said. "Right after, I was on the bike full speed.''

Holmes told fantasy fans that he would make himself the No. 1 choice in any fantasy draft because he is so optimistic about his comeback.

Let's see it on the field...

And for the record... I'm not saying his career is done. I'm saying I've seen this all before, and until he's playing a game, I have doubts. I will say this: no way does he play in 16 games this year. On injury or another... Holmes is showing signs of the strain...

Just because TD's career got flushed down the toilet doesn't mean Priest's will. Or even affect him. It's likely he'll play in all 16 games. It's also likely that he'll miss a couple.

16 games? Probably not... nobody knows what the season holds...

As for him showing "the signs of strain", I don't know about all that. I do expect the coaching staff to make an effort to ease the load on him a little. He's only human, for God's sake.

The fact is... you hope he's done... we hope he's breaking records. The truth is somewhere in the middle. I tend to think he'll be closer to what we are hoping for, than what you are hoping for.

I don't know what part of "Let's see it on the field" you guys don't understand. I've got dudes marching on the 'Mane to serve me crow in freaking July!

"Ha! Priest Holmes had and interview and HE said that he was good to go! Suck it, Taco! Suck it! Have some of that! Priest says he's optimisitc! Ha! Eat up biatch!"

Like I didn't watch all of the positive Terrell Davis hype for two years...

"Well Priest doesn't have a Bo Jackson-like injury! The doctors said that it was just a 'routine' cutting through the hip to expose and clean out the hip joint! But since it wasn't a Bo Jackson-like injury, it's not an injury at all! Everything is fine!"

Did Priest and Terrell have the same injuries? No. Of course not. No one is saying they did... But they were both INJURED and had to have MAJOR SURGERY. Cutting into someone's hip is not a 'routine procedure.' Where does Priest get his power? FROM HIS HIPS. When was Priest last on crutches? FOUR MONTHS AGO. Is Priest going to be 100% in July? NO. In August? Doubtful. Is he going to rush it? IT SOUNDS LIKE IT.

Your Superbowl hopes ride on one man. And when he goes down, it's over.

If I were a Chiefs fan... I would be rooting for the opposite of putting Holmes on the field in August. I would also admit that things aren't at rosy as I'd like to paint them... If I were a Chiefs fan...

He may make it back on the field, but he'll never be the same guy he was last season. This is a hip injury, not a thumb injury. A hip injury. On a runningback... That spells D-O-N-E.

Really, skepticism is just fine. But going out and directly saying Priest will be/will not be healthy at a certain date when you aren't even a doctor..... that's just something I'd expect from a Donkey fan.

I have no doubts in my mind that Holmes will NOT be 100% in July. That'll be proven when he's not participating in training camp as much as everybody else. At least they'll have a good cover-up with the contract dispute...

I can't wait to see you all spinning this when training camp rolls around, and Priest isn't getting all the reps that a starting runningback should be getting... It'll be priceless...

Oh, so you're speaking for every doctor in the world?

I wouldn't know what the sliding scale for hip vs. knee injuries are. I'd wager they are pretty close in terms of seriousness... Especially for a runningback who runs from the hip.

Holmes has stated he's doing full workouts. The once/twice a day doesn't matter. He'll be putting on pads and busting his butt like everyone else out there. Then what will you have to say for yourself?

First, you don't even know what Priest's surgery was.

Second, leaving your ignorance aside, how is a minor scope job comparable to a blown out knee being reconstructed?

They are not comparable in any terms: severity of injury, difficulty of surgery, length of rehab, prospects for full recovery, etc....

I understand you want to throw smack, but your dealing in pure fantasy....not even up to your own low standards.

I wouldn't say that there are too many similarities between the two injuries. They happened on two different parts of the body. I wouldn't speculate how they relate to eachother... That's irrelevant to me. Each injury that happens is it's own injury.

That doesn't change the fact that Holmes runs from his hips.

Hilarious! ROFL

It'll start with him being sidelined after a game for "swelling in the hip." Priest will say he feels good but just needs the swelling to subside, and the team will say they're sitting him just as a 'precaution.' Rinse and repeat.

Nah... You guys still have Greg Robinson and the defensive "improvements" made were fairly marginal. Plus the fact that even with a healthy Holmes, Dick Vermiel doesn't know how to get a team up to play an AFC West Rivalry... Of all the teams in the AFC that I think have it the worst, the Chiefs are on top, for that reason alone... Dick's got the most pressure on him of any coach in the West... And given the situations that Shanahan and Callahan are in, that's saying a lot!

I know it was just a minor broken leg but when McCaffery isn't getting the normal reps like a WR should be getting in TC you guys will be spinning it like it's no big deal. They'll say their sitting him out to let the swelling go down but we all know he's never going to be the same. It's a shame I really liked watching the guy.

http://www.preschoolprintables.com/small%20girl%20&%20thumb.gif Did TD ever promise his workout? Did he?

Priest has already said he's doing the full training camp workout. Maybe not twice a day, but he's out there with his teammates. And you can bet when/if he's not out there during a practice, he'll be doing special training on his own. If it's pulling tractors, then that's what he's gotta do.

I'm sorry you guys got bent over when TD went down, but that's no reason to say it's happening to Priest.

You are going to be ridiculed when Priest proves you wrong. You will take the place of gochiefs has the butt of 50% of the jokes on here. It's going to suck for you. May as well crawl back to the OrangeMange and surround yourself with a bunch of homers like yourself for protection.

I don't think McCaffrey is the same receiver he was before his injury. I think the wear and tear has run its course on him. He's no longer the guy he used to be. That doesn't mean he doesn't make a great thrid option still... But last year, I would have had Lelie above him, especially the second part of the season, and Lelie was a rookie...

Having lurked here a few days and now reading what Taco John posts makes me believe this comments is just a wish, hope and dream. Apparently he fears what Holmes did to his team last year is up for repeat. So, for his redemption for those sorry assed donks, he comforts himself with wishes. I would not be surprised that he has a Holmes doll and is pushing a lot of pins into the hip.

He reminds me of several donk fans when I used to visit the defucnt RMN board. Whistling through the graveyard is the term they used.

Amusing, Taco John. But kudos to you to remain here and take the punishment dealt out.

Any player in the NFL can be out in a heartbeat with an injury. Greaseme (I've always loved that one) comes to mind. But his injuries were never on the football field.

How do you justify your assumption? No doubt, should we judge every injury as career ending, there would not be many players out there.

Keep whistling through the donks graveyard Taco John.

You just can't accept that Holmes is finished...

I have no doubts in my mind that Holmes will NOT be 100% in July. That'll be proven when he's not participating in training camp as much as everybody else. At least they'll have a good cover-up with the contract dispute...

I can't wait to see you all spinning this when training camp rolls around, and Priest isn't getting all the reps that a starting runningback should be getting... It'll be priceless...

I'm sure you'll still try to serve me your cold crow then too...

Yep, fortunately for him, he ignores it when brought back up...and when necessary begins yet another tack to try to render his earlier inanities irrelevant.

The 'Holmes is finished' nonsense from the offseason had roughly 5 flavors to it. Depending up on the game, we've gotten a different flavor each week. After the second week, it was "Im an idiot, Priest is not finished", to last week's brilliant 'burst' argument.

I must admit Im somewhat impressed...to type so many words yet say absolutely nothing.

He's lost his "burst."

A meager, 1700 yds rushing....2300 yds from scrimmage...and less than 25 TDs (23 or 24.)

If those numbers hold, he will have demonstrated slippage from his play before his injury. Therefore, he'll be a colossal failure.

I'm curious to see how Priest plays this year. He could have his best season ever, break 2000 yards and make himself a Hall of Fame candidate. Or the combination of the injury that ended his season last year (if his recovery isn't 100%) and another candle on the birthday cake could make this the year he starts to wind down.
No smack here; it happens to the best of 'em.
Now if you'll please exscuse me I need to go sacrifice a Charger fan to the altar of the God of Draft. It seems the Broncs are in need of more than a few picks to turn out right if we are to allow Plummer to overcome his Plummer-ness.
