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 🇦🇷. :-"

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..
