You can't give LJ just 9 carries game!
 

Priest 22 carries, 85 yds
LJ 9 carries, 110 yds

You have to wonder what would happen if LJ got the 22 carries going forward!

I'm sorry but you have to give the ball to LJ most of the time.

Umm Priest is still the #2 back in the whole league, LJ is a really good backup but geez Priest is a stud.

ummm roaf got hurt... hence priest not getting as many yards after he left... he relies on him more than LJ does...

I do agree that he should get the rock more if roaf is out in week 2

This just in.... LJ is a stud too!

Johnson is a great guy to have in the rotation, but no way you just take Priest Holmes off the football field.

And eh, apparently we CAN just give LJ the ball 9 times a game. He got his 100+ yards and 2 scores and we won.

Whats the problem?

this looks familiar....

LJ is more than a backup and ever since he's been given the opportunity he has looked better than Priest. Priest is a great back but LJ looks more like a stud. You'd be hard pressed to find another back in the league that looks as strong as LJ right now.

Just Run over/past the Raiders I don't care gets the rock.

The problem is you get more production from LJ overall! If he can do what he did with 9 carries, what will be the result if he can get 20 plus carries? I'm sorry you have to give him that chance! It's about the present, not the past!

just hush... LJ will get more carries as the season progresses if he continues to produce.

Over 100 yards and 2td's and you are complaining? WTF. He got playing time but he has not taken over Holmes starting job.

Priest may very well be the #2 RB in the league. LJ may very well be the #1 back in the league. In the 6 or 7 games LJ has been on the field, he has been nothing short of sensational.

LJ has the ability to rush for 2000 yds this season! He's young and prime for this! It would be a shame not to give LJ the opportunity!

Youre a stat freak. Relax.

The only thing that matters is winning the football game and having 2 healthy backs through the season, especially having a healthy Priest Holmes at playoff time, not whether or not Johnson could rush for 200 yards and 4 scores in one game, or get 2,000 yards in a season.

Individual stats should NOT be the focus of a football team. Winning the game comes first.

Besides, you dont know anymore than I do that Priests 25 carries didnt contribute to Johnson's success on only 9 carries.

Yes, Johnson had the big 35 yarder early, but so did Priest.

Larry Johnson's second scoring series was late in the football game, after Priest had been running at them all game. They were tired, wore down, and a fresh Larry Johnson coming in is a tough thing to stop.

Johnson is a young guy, and his time is rapidly approaching. But there is no way in hell that you bench Holmes in favor of Larry Johnson. Remember, this is the single season TD record holder we are talking about here.
