"I think if LJ gets most of the carries Priest had in the second half, the result's the same. But that's just an opinion. While LJ can make some plays on his own, so can priest, but not when you're getting hit in the backfield."
You may be right, but I think over the years teams have been trying to put extra hits on Priest to try and wear him down. It is nice to have a back that hits the defense back and wears them down. Priest has been awesome, but he isn't a punishing runner. LJ is, linebackers were falling on their butts on some of those runs today.
