wait till we get cedric benson back, dude is a beast.


Might have Jennings and Woodson back by then too. Matthews should beat all 3 back. Gonna get perfectly healthy just in time for playoffs. With the way they're playing now, I can't wait to see them at full strength.

yeah i'm most excited about benson though, the way he was running before the injury was a sight i haven't seen since ahman green.

2 bad games, 2 good games. Was nothing special in his limited time, but he also faced some tough defenses. We'll see how it goes, but Starks really wasn't bad on Sunday.

i think the second half of the seahawks game is a great indicator of what kind of player benson can be in the offense. anyone who watched that game saw what he could bring to the table against a formidable defense at a time when the offense was really struggling

I just dont think he is the long term fix to the packs running game.

idk. i just don't think that's a legitimate claim. its not like the packers are ever going to draft an adrian peterson or a trent richardson ever. hell... signing benson was a reach in its own right.

i think it was a great move and they aren't breaking the bank to keep him around because he was signed at the minimum salary. TT + MM are all about building and finding talent from within and until someone emerges as the go-to back, benson is the answer so long as he can get back into the flow of the offense and stay healthy
