Tony Richardson, the bruising fullback who spent five seasons plowing holes for Priest Holmes in Kansas City, is itching to do the same for Chester Taylor.

If Taylor gets the opportunity, Richardson said he’s confident Taylor can put up Holmes-like numbers…

The Holmes comparisions are seconded by wide receiver Travis Taylor, who’s been reunited with Chester Taylor after their short stint in Baltimore from 2002-2004.

“There’s definitely a lot of Priest Holmes in Chester,” he said. “He’s a guy who can catch balls out of the backfield, make guys miss, run guys over, make big plays. When we were in Baltimore, he always converted a lot of third downs for us out of the backfield. It could be third and 15 and he’d get 17 yards. That’s what kind of a back he is.”

Blitz View: The comparisions to Priest are premature, but with Tony Richardson at fullback and an upgraded offensive line in Minnesota, don’t let Taylor slip your mind.
