Benson = Enis. I’ve read and heard multiple sources who say Benson doesn’t even like playing football. It’s all about the green backs for him. Yet another reason why the Bears may not be making the playoffs this season.

TJ 42 rushing yards
LT 25 rushing yards

Ced Ben 42 rushing yards.

Benson looks as good as Jones and LT playing against a much tougher defense then TJ played against.

I completely agree, the KC game will be huge for both Benson and Grossman, although I didn’t think Rexy had too bad of a game. Had some nice passes once the offensive line picked up the blitz. Nice to also see him in the shotgun in a big game. The INT still is questionable, but it looked like miscommunication and Berrian cutting the route short. Still, it was thrown in heavy coverage.

I found it a tad odd that Benson was on the sideline wearing a hat during a crucial drive that Peterson ended up fumbling on…apparently it was the “sun in his eyes”. Not sure if he was a bit banged up, but it looked like the Bears were making a statement to him on that drive.

The Bears also need to show him how to pick up a blitz from the weak side. He nearly got Grossman killed when he ran straight up the middle. In a base 3-4, he has to know that in most cases, the blitz is going to be from the outside or a linebacker stunt with the offensive tackle. It was clear earlier in the game that when Peterson was in, the Bears were going to pass.

Not that this has anything to do with Benson…but did you see what Pinella said about the rest of the season?
“We just need to win more than we lose over the next twenty games and we’ll be fine.”

Genius. MOTY material.
