madlithuanian Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 So far, he appears to be getting the message... But, I'll hold to my point and refrain from eating crow until we see him play in real games.

BearSox Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 A good quote: ''I would hope I have to do something to keep [the starting job],'' he said. ''Nobody wants to be given anything. It makes it more fun and more exciting when you've got fight for it.'' Benson was good in 05 and 06, but shit in 07. Perhaps it was that he was handed the starting job that lacked the fire in his ass. Maybe he is the type that needs competition. I don't know. But I know one thing for sure, having a two back running attack of Benson and Forte would only make us better. With our QB's and WR's, there is no question that we are going to have to leave our mark with the running game on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfoligno Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think it is a combo of several things. 1. Benson. It starts w/ him. Call it a lack of fire, or whatever, but I do not think he put the effert into the offseason he has this year, and that carried over to the season. 2. Staff asking him to add weight. We have seen it before, but it seems like most times the staff messes w/ a players weight in such a way to alter their playing style, it is a negative thing. Asking Daniels to play light, Alex Brown to play heavier, Benson to play heavier, etc. Asking Benson to play at a heavier weight may not have been a great idea. 3. OL. We have seen AP do well enough behind a solid OL. Last year, the OL stunk, and it showed when Benson, AP or Wolfe were on the field. 4. Offense in general - The offense was just flat out awful, and when combined w/ the above, was a killer. 5. Playcalling. I said it all season, but playcalling was flat out bad, not to mention predictable. Most often, when a team knows you are going to run, it is easier to defend.
