yeah, it's the fog of memory. We remember all of those touchdowns and figure, "well he must've been fast right?"
But he wasn't. he wasn't big, he wasn't fast, nor particularly elusive. He was nothing special from a physical talent standpoint. He was very, very smart, and he was patient and he played behind an incredible offensive line. |

This is where the newer guys, are in the dark because back in the day CP was using the Terrell Davis comparison. The thing that was different was Priest's acceleration in the 2nd level in comparison to Davis' brute strength.

Wasn’t Priest 40 time like 4.8 or something crazy slow like that?

Quick. he was quick. But not top end speed. he was nowhere near the physical specimen that Davis was. Neither was particularly fast, not in a Jamaal Charles way, whom I keep bringing up because he WAS just ridiculously fast. Holmes was VERY effective, but he was not fast. |

(I did see Clyde go over the top against AL in college. He can do it.) Clyde will get there. I doubt he'll ever break the franchise record for rushing TD's in a season. That's not the kind of offense we have with Patrick and Co. |

Nope, I've said as such but Holmes showed more athletic talent with vision , cuts, and acceleration in comparison to CEH. Clyde is JAG he picks a spot and goes forward with no instinct or burst.
