Most of the problem is the O-line. Look at the videos YZilla threw on the site and watch the O-line play...it is horrendous

Uhhhh, I think you are echoing my sentiments exactly!!

dont forget how versatile priest was....not just running, but he got a ton of passes as well as also being a good blocker. He had the total package...and was lucky to play along with the best o line ever to help him achieve the most single season rushing touchdowns ever in a year (at the time).

There is blocking in this league?

Priest is a more complete back than LJ. LJ cant catch was well or block as well. He gets paid 40mil to run not to block or catch. Thats another 10mil each for LJ. Priest just wants to play. He doesnt care about the $$ cuz he wants to prove he can still play.

...Don't know that I would go quite that far, but I agree I think he does want to play.

I had that same thought. He wants to play, but I bet he has some desire for the mnoey too.
