From your mouth to God's ears.He will probably make a run at the single game rushing record
I think they're called rectories.
He has looked pretty bad so far. Honestly, behind this abortion of a line, a back whose style enables them to fall forward for a couple of yards is useful. Priest sidesteps a little too often and the Broncos, like every other team, will be in the backfield early and often.Then again, it's the Broncos. If the Chiefs can get Priest to the line of scrimmage on five carries, they may go for 30 yards alone.If Priest does happen to do well, I will put it all down to the Broncos. I'll need to see it against the Colts before I believe it.16 carries --36 yards If LJ struggled to gain yards behind that line, Priest will get nothing. That is assuming that he makes it through the game in one piece.
The last 4 games LJ wasn't struggling that much, and the Broncos run defense is attrocious. They made Ryan Grant look like Earl Campbell. A critique of Johnson this year when he was struggling was that he wasn't giving what the defense was giving him. Priest Holmes isn't nearly as strong or as explosive but he's a more patient and smarter runner. I think Holmes running style will work well with an offensive line that has improved the last few games. He's obviously healthy enough to play, and worked hard to become so. I don't expect big things from him for the rest of the season, but I think he's a good play this week. 16-843-15TD16 carries --36 yards If LJ struggled to gain yards behind that line, Priest will get nothing. That is assuming that he makes it through the game in one piece.
