Ladies and gentlemen, I submit for your perusal:
A running back with VISION.
Stark contrast to watching the RB’s we’ve had play in games for the last 5 years. No pun intended.
Let’s hope he’s still got the legs underneath him to get to where he sees the creases in time.
I think what sold the Packers was at around the 0:45 second mark Benson broke through four would-be tacklers for a long gain. Wait, that was against the…..never mind that team can’t tackle.
LOL, Mojo… Oh wait, am I allowed to laugh at that one?
ugh, I almost bailed on the video after that play…
As long as he doesn’t get caught breaking the substance abuse policy we will be fine…
The guy was a twenty something millionaire with a drinking problem.
Maybe he still is, maybe he isn’t.
I know an awful lot of people who drank way too much in their mid twenties. The majority of them don’t drink much anymore.
Let’s see what happens.
I really like the way he bounces to the
outside…excellent stop and start speed! Good addition to the RB Corps.
Wouldn’t it be fun to see him have a big
game against Da Bears! 125 plus yards and 2 tds. Packers win big!
He breaks more runs then we’ve seen in some time but then that was the Bengals O-line too. Hopefully our line can create rush lanes as well as they generally protect. Ced does have a bit of fumbles history that’s concerning. I did note Benson carries the ball a bit high and loose sometimes so that will need corrected but Pack coaches have generally taught ball protection well in the past. More very recently, not so much yet but it’s early.
Hope he is a good study. Coming into a new system will take some time and adjustment learning the play book and all. Let’s hope for the best.
