Edwards Wants Holmes Back
21st January, 2006 - 1:31 pm
San Jose Mercury News - Herm Edwards met with Holmes last week. Spotted at Arrowhead Stadium before jumping on an elevator to see the new coach, Holmes said he was feeling fine. But Holmes, a three-time Pro Bowler, will undergo one more round of neurological tests in the coming weeks to determine whether he'll play again.

"It was a good conversation," Edwards said of his meeting with Holmes. "Obviously, he's going to have to make a big decision. If I know Priest Holmes, I think he'll be back.
"He is going to be a big part of our offense. But at this point, I think it's Larry's turn to be the starter. It's his job to keep. And I think when you understand that, that's the mind-set he needs to have and it's something I think he's looking forward to doing."

Asked whether Holmes could play a Marshall Faulk-type of role as a third-down back, Edwards said, "At this point, we haven't had an offensive staff meeting. So for me to tell you that would be my opinion, and I don't really go about doing things that way." [READ]
