CIN signs RB Cedric Benson


Recommended Posts

I guess that drops them out of an early round RB drafting.

 

Benson was impressive after his first two games or so, when he was signed mid-season. He hit tacklers like Dillon did. Good hands, like Dillon, too. They had the hots for UConn's Donald Brown, IMO. As well they should have. I like that youngster.

Good for him. I hope he can continue to act responsibly. Its funny how if you stay out of trouble off the field you can produce better on the field. I am glad to see maybe he realizes this and won't be another talented person who pisses away his talents.

 

It's a bit of a surprise that he re-signed. Twice during the season, he informed fans how proud he was of himself.

 

He talked with HOU, but decided better to be the starter in CIN than a back-up with the Texans. But I can understand a desire to return to the 'ole stomping grounds.

 

 

Here is a (noisy) collegiate rah-rah video. Pretty easy to see why he was the #4 overall pick in 2005.

 

And certainly, excellent play by Texas' OL...
