Benson? The big waste of a draft pick from my alma matre. Cant block worth a damn, slow, cant catch... just a bull. They are a dime a dozen. Holy Cow playa.
I will never forget Mel Kuiper saying Benson would go first in the draft after the Texas-Michigan game, I seriously almost had a heart attack. He ran behind the best line in college football. I could have made 1000 yards behind the line he had.

hes averaging 4.1 per carry so far in his career pg, i expect that to be even bettered when he actually gets to start full time and get into a rythm

Playa he is just not fast enough. 4.1 yards is decent for any part time back. Both Dallas running backs averaged more than that this season behind a highly suspect offensive line.

If he learns how to block and catch the ball he will be declared decent. He was a monster in high school, super quick at 205 or so. I believe as he got bigger he lost quickness. He got very lucky to play behind such good offensive lines.

Bottom line for me: When Chicago lost Harris, Urlacher became less potent and their defense totally changed. Any time you have a defensive tackle that demands two offensive lineman on every play, and then you have a line backer as great as Urlacher and an aggressive, hard hitting secondary, you have a monster defense. Its gone imo. Have you ever seen Urlacher get so totally blown out of a play by a very mediocre Seahawk line from about 7 or so yards out from the goaline? When I saw that one play and how Urlacher was not allowed to roam it became very clear.
