[QUOTE="VanHalun040604"][QUOTE="FishPicker"][QUOTE="VanHalun040604"]Oh and LT is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than Priest Holmes was, is or will ever be.ARealChiefsFan
ya, LT scored 3 more TDs than priest holmes last year. oh wait... holmes only played eight games.
with all things being equal, LT is more durable than priest but priest outscores LT. I realize that LT catches a lot of balls but that is because he is the only legitimate receiver after antonio gates. Marty ball makes even marginal RBs look great. LT is very good but he doesnt hold a candle to priest.
Priest is probably the best back with the ultimate blend of size, speed, and power since Bo Jackson...but he's not as consistent as LT. LT's got the speed and a lot more explosiveness. He's the complete running back with his ability to catch the ball in the flat. TD's don't mean a thing...with the line that the Chiefs have, they would be foolish to pass inside the ten or on the goal line. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Priest fan, but LT is the epitome of the perfect running back in the NFL right now. Like Jerome Bettis though, I think Priest's brusing style of running may catch up to him sooner or later...Hopefully for you and a RealChiefsFan...it won't be this season, since it looks as if this might be the only year they'll be able to make it to the Super Bowl for a long time. Vermeil is going to retire at the end of this year...the O-line is getting up there in age...Trent's getting old...the whole team might unfortunately end up like the Raiders....they made it all the way there finally but then their age hit them like a ton of bricks...that and the fact that Jon Gruden knew everything they did before they did it...Hopefully the Chiefs will be able to pull one of before out before it's too late.
actually, Priest is a very consistent HB, he just has an injury problem, last year he was well on his way to breaking the record he set not even a year previously, 14 touchdowns is 8 games i believe is what he had, and now he's packed on about 10-15 pounds of muscle so that should help him avoid the injury problem, Tomlinson is only good becasue he's really the only offensive weapon they have besides Gates, they're recievers aren't that great so it all falls onto Gates and Tomlinson, and if either of them go out the entire offense is screwed because then they can cover the recievers in man, which wouldn't be hard, and they could double team the remaining threat, and that would make Drew Brees look as crappy as he played two years ago, he'll have practically nobody to throw too, forcing them to run the ball, and if they are losing the ball game they are finished, so take one of them out, and take an early lead, it's the easy way to beat them
If it's that easy to beat them, then what's that say about every defense in the NFL that played them last year? They can't stop two guys? Pretty pathetic if you ask me...but LT can't be stopped. Neither can Priest. Good running backs can't be stopped even if you know what's coming...if you contain them to 100 yards, it's an accomplishment.
