How'd Benson look on the first drive - numbers aren't that great even though he got the TD. Hitting holes hard? Look aggressive or tentative?

Hester injured?
Looking pretty meh so far.
Hopped up, ran off the field.... he's fine.

How are you listening to this? I would be very surprised if Ced would say that.

Benson was absolutely quoted as saying this at some point during the off-season

When the SF DBs aren't slipping, falling down or holding the Bears receivers, the others on defense have mastered the "Swiss Cheese" scheme.
I thought after the embarrassment last year (41-10?) the Niners would show up with an axe to grind.
Apparently not.

I believe he is! :runs away:10x may be a slight exaggeration.

Ya Benson said that, after saying that Thomas Jones punched him. Proof is in the pudding windbag. Please keep the video recorders and microphones away from Cedric Benson Chicago beat reporters.

It is preseason still.....I doubt the Bears would put up 41 on them this year.

LOL... ya. sure it is. Then why have the Niners been so proud of their unblemished record and Alex Smith's play? It's preseason - it doesn't matter.

So do I. Seems very underrated this year.

Are you worried about Benson? Or Grossmans fumble problem?
GRIDIRON ASSASSIN

Sure I am. Wouldn't you be if you were a Bears fan?

He is clearly Grossman's fav target. I don't care if the depth chart says Moose is #1.

Just making sure you objective
Berrian looks like he is going to take the next step this year

Im glad I didn't end up w/ Benson this year. I was high on him before preseason...but he hasn't shown too much of anything.

I thought he looked pretty good in this game, running hard.

who gives a #### if he's running hard? he's avg about 2 yds/carry.

Just want to reiterate what Scientist mentioned, but the Bears defense is NOT the same without Harris.He is arguable the best player on the defense. He makes the rest of the defense better, as was evident in his absence at the end of the year last year.Ya...you're right ..... the others are scrubs

Benson looks terrible. Slow, tentative and easy to bring down. I can't understand why anyone would characterize this as "pretty good."
And he's 19 for 33, that's not EVEN 2ypc.
If there wasn't enough reasons already in that last Benson thread, this should help you avoid Benson unless he falls pretty far.

is the Chicago line not playing tonite?
just wondering cause from the comments here it sounds like Cedric is sucking all by himself.

He's a decent late round pick as like a #4 with upside. I don't know if he could carry the load for a season, but every time the Bears have given him touches, he's produced really well. The only problem is that he's also a special teams stud, and the Bears would probably be reluctant to use him much unless Benson really blows hard in the season.

Hey Niners fans, which converted first down was your favorite one from the first half?
D'oh... your team only had ONE first down, so I assume it's that one.

Benson had little room to run. Two of his runs went for -4 and -5, he was hit in the backfield both times. That said, he also looked a bit less explosive than I would have liked. He did catch one ball (I think his catches per game will be 3-4, as Rex continues to learn to dump off and not force it deep), and has shown good hands IMHO this pre-season. If he stays healthy, this guy will average 25ish carries per game and will get 80%+ of the goalline work. I know people dislike him and want to see him fail, but all personal BS aside, with the Bears D and special teams, I find it hard to see him NOT finishing with 350+ carries and 1400+ yards and 12-15 TDs. 35-40 catches for another 250ish yards and 1-2 tuddies, too.
I know this is not a Besnon thread, but my thoughts...

When the Bears beat the Super Bowl Champion Colts?I look for two things in preseason games:A) No injuriesB) Better play execution than the prior week.The Bears starters achieved both again.It's pre-season.

pretty bad...but, we Sharks already KNEW he was gonna suck this year...
He's as soft as Ron Dayne, and almost as slow...just a guy who can't get it done...3 yards and a cloud of dust..
Bears' RB Adrian Peterson starts by week 5.
