Some thoughts on Priest

2bikemike · 11-01-2004, 02:03 PM

Do you realize Priest has the most rushing attempts in the NFL?
He has 180 attempts next is Clitoris Porton with 170. I certainly hope Priest holds up.

Which brings me to his leaping for a TD. I was pretty nervous when he landed on his head yesterday. But he popped up and played well and I haven't seen any mention of him being dinged.

Priest is on pace for about 1900 yds this season and about 29 TD's. I would like ot see him hit 2000 yds and 30 TD's and get MVP honors.

BTW I have not heard one mention of him and MVP. But twice now I have heard about Tiki Barber mentioned with MVP.

Tiki has about 38 fewer attempts and 85 fewer yds. and 7 fewer TD's. I still don't think he should get the nod before Priest.

And last but not least. What the fugg is up with Priest and his 4 fumbles this year? I am not sure but doesn't he have something like 4 fumbles in the last 2 years?

Tiki got mentioned because everyone had the NYG written at the bottom of the division, and noone expected them to play this well. Tiki has certainly been a part of that.

Oh, it doesn't hurt to play in NYC either.

I have only one thought on Priest: "fucking awesome"

Seriously, I feel honored to watch the man carry the rock. He is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best player the Chiefs have ever fielded. JMO

15 fumbles - 9 lost for his entire career.

Yes, he needs to protect the ball better.

His acceleration on those draw plays is unbelievable.

teedubya · 11-01-2004, 02:15 PM

my thoughts on Priest are simple. He is by far the toughest mo'fugga in the NFL today.

With his now being implemented into the passing game more, [which i may add, was blatantly missing in the first few games... (which is the real reason for 3 wins out of last 4 games...not my starting game threads...) ]... Priest is even more dangerous.

He projects at having 2000+ yards rushing 500+ yards receiving...28+ TDs rushing 3 TD's receiving...

perhaps, Priest needs to have some more good mojo sent his way...

NFL MVPish, innit? for real, wicked.

Hopefully his doctors and training staff can massage him 24 hours a day, because we are going to be riding this horse all year.

KingPriest2 · 11-01-2004, 03:13 PM

Check out my thread on comparing his 2002 year to this year

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=102991

Guys the thing I noticed about him He really turns it on in the second half. Lets just hope he holds up If he does take off like usual we are going to see something special.

This year is comparable to 2002

I also included his stats for 2001 and 2003 total years and first 7 games to compare.

I compared the first for both 04 and 02

**RealSNR** · 11-01-2004, 03:23 PM

He doesn't deserve MVP honors because he has no burst

Priest is done. I doubt he'll see Week 10.

His hip is just like Bo Jackson's. I don't think it's possible for him to get going again.

When we were 1-4, Priest was still positive when so many, myself included, were pretty much convinced we were headed South. Not just a phenomenal RB, but an inspiring team leader. Best Chiefs football player ever.

ClearmontChief · 11-01-2004, 04:01 PM

East Coast bias. No way that Tiki should be mentioned before Priest based on numbers. And, if KC goes on now and continues to win, then Priest will likely end up with MVP numbers but will be overlooked UNLESS we win the SB.

I'm so very tired of ESPN, and national media pumping up everything east coast. If Tiki were running for GB, he'd just be Ahman Green. But, if Priest happened to be running for the Giants or the Jets...and, they'd be talking hall of fame let alone MVP.

It was pretty indicative a couple weeks ago when Mike & Mike in the Morning on ESPN radio were talking something about 87% of America was watching the Yankees vs. Red Sox because 'America just loves that matchup'. Well, I'm near Omaha, couldn't give a rip about the Red Sox, their curse, or the F'n Yankees whom we all (Royals fans) love to see (in the box score in the paper the next day) lose. 87% of America, including us in Omaha had to watch Yankmes/Sox on local broadcast when they were playing at the exact same time as the Cardinals/Astros (Mid-western vs. another central team).

I'll bet that New York was screaming back in 85 when it was all Missouri.

Priest Holmes will never win the MVP, regardless of the numbers (vs. Tiki or Curtis Martin) unless the Chiefs win the Super bowl...I'll settle for that.

I think that is Vonne Marie's job these days.

Mr. Laz · 11-01-2004, 04:08 PM

i think we will continue to give Blaylock more and more carries.

we are in must win now ... if we get a lead against Tampa and New Orlean, i think blaylock will see significant time (ie 15-20 carries) to reduce the load on Holmes.

we might even see some LJ

**BigRedChief** · 11-01-2004, 04:09 PM

Preist needs to stay on the ground on those goal line plays for that reason. He gets clipped and lands wrong and the Chiefs season is over.

As far as using him too much. He may retire after this year. Next year will defintely be his last one. Ride this horse now because there is no tommorrow.

We have been so lucky as Chief fans to have witness Priest do his thang these last 3 years. Priest is the man!
