Well, Benson certainly looked like an NFL caliber RB tonight. I know I know, small sample size, but its more than I can say about the rest of the backs thus far this preseason.

Tyler looks good against scrubs, but Benson looks way better than Green against starters.

IMO Benson is going to be a huge factor for the Packers from Thanksgiving to the Super Bowl. He adds a new dimension to the offense. I thought he really spoke well when he was interviewed. He knows his role, and looks ready to win a Championship (eye of the tiger).

Benson gave us a running attack last night. He has good vision and natural running back talent. F#@# that Packer People BS, I've always hated that condescending rhetoric. The reason we have a low incident from our players is because there isn't anything to do in GB but play football.

I'm probably more excited about the Cedric Benson signing than anyone. Why? Because we got a RB for under $900k who will play all 19 games and get 3.8 yards per carry and won't be exciting enough to take plays away from 🇦🇷. :-"

It is clear his vision is still there.. I began a comparison last night between Grant and Benson spurred by an above comment that they are similar backs. I hope to continue that over the weekend if time allows.

First blush based on last night.. he will give us more in terms of effective running than Grant or even Starks has.

Now.. I don't expect the Packers to become a run heavy team.. but as long as there is enough there.. much like last night to draw the attention to the running game and force them to account for it.. then it will be marked as a win.

It was effective last night with the 1's... Green struggled in the same situations.

BTW... the run action out of the pistol was something nice to see.. a wrinkle that will give defenses fits and allow Rodgers even more of a advantage in the passing game.

Another note.. that was about a poor of an outing from Rodgers as I have seen in terms of accuracy and ball placement.. poor throw over to Jones.. under threw the 4th down to Jennings.. just not as crisp as we normally see from him. But even his off day was impressive..

I was pleased with the way he played yesterday, had several nice runs. The run blocking actually opened some holes too! If he can play that way throughout the season our running game will be adequate for what we want to do as an offense.
