"If I were back in Chicago with those holes, I'd have 1800 yd (1 Viewer)

[gianmarco]

Mike Mulligan, of The Chicago Sun-Times, reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson, formerly a first-round pick of the Chicago Bears, chimed in about how Bears rookie RB Matt Forte has done this year. "He is having a great year, but when I see the highlights, I see holes," Benson said to Cincinnati reporters. "I see them using him in the slot, something they didn't do with me. If I was there right now with the holes I see, I'd probably have 1,800 yards right now. I definitely would have 1,500 by now. I congratulate him on all of his success. He is taking advantage."

What an idiot...

 

[HoTnickZ]

Probably true

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

easier to see the holes when watching on TV than in the game.

Dude is a no talent ### clown

 

[pantagrapher]

The only holes Benson ever tried to run through were the ones between his offensive linemen's butt cheeks.

 

[dornado]

i didn't realize Cedric knew what a running lane looked like.

He's right that our offensive line is much better this year, but Forte is clearly the better runner.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

I thought you were going to say Mike Ditka.

 

[FUBAR]

I thought you were going to say Mike Ditka.

he'd have more yards than Benson.

 

[iSnitch]

Wow...Benson is probably the last person I would've guessed.

You need some confidence to succeed and he's not lacking in that department. If only he had the talent to match.

[Your Mom]

Probably true

???????????There is no way. The guy is a bad RB. No spped, vision, or heart.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

He was my guess before I opened the thread...just because he's an idiot who thinks he is better than he really is. One of those people who thinks it's everyone elses fault he isn't succeeding.

 

[GoBirds]

So humble...

 

[bjabrad]

My guess was going to be "The Kansas Comet" Gale Sayers since Forte broke his CHI record for yards in a rookie season.

 

[The_Wolfman]

Yeeah it was definitely the fault of the o-line. It had nothing to do with the fact that Benson ran with no vision, patience or heart.

[LionsFan78]

This guy is a tool, and I at anyone who still owns this guy with any expectations.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

I thought you were going to say Mike Ditka.

he'd have more yards than Benson.

Mini-Ditka would easily have 2000+ yds by now. God only knows what a regular-sized Ditka could do with those holes.

 

[King of the Wolfies]

I'm confused to what holes Benson is seeing. Seems to me that most of Forte's rushing yards are due to him and not superior blocking.

 

[Oh Yes!]

keep it between the bouys big guy...

 

[buck naked]

His sense of reality is as far askew as Blagojevich's here in Illinois.

 

[thatguy]

I thought you were going to say Mike Ditka.

he'd have more yards than Benson.

Mini-Ditka would easily have 2000+ yds by now. God Ditka only knows what a regular-sized Ditka could do with those holes.

Fixed.

 

[Wrigley]

Thought you were going to say Addai

 

[King of the Wolfies]

Benson's was misquoted, he really meant 180 yards.

 

[HoTnickZ]

Probably true

???????????There is no way. The guy is a bad RB. No spped, vision, or heart.

I know. I was just fishing.

 

[bcr8f]

This guy is a tool, and I at anyone who still owns Tatum Bell with any expectations.

Fixed.

 

[brednbuddah]

let it go dude, you're not in Chicago anymore.

 

[Jimmy James]

I was going to guess Rashaan Salaam, but I'm a sucker for guys with six A's in their name.

Benson has impressed me in Cincy, but that's because my expectations were so low. Shut up and hope you can keep collecting league minimum salaries, Ced.

 

[TitusIII]

Chicago's line is far from impressive, but they are playing better this season. On the other hand, over the past month, they have looked pretty bad, and Forte is working extremely hard for every yard.
