Stuffed? Is Benson in trouble before he even starts the regular season?


There's not a whole lot of good news from the Bears about their running game. After seeing how Cedric Benson looked against the 49ers, there might be some cause for concern.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Benson was stopped eight times for no gain or a loss in Saturday's preseason game.

The third preseason game usually (I think) gives a good preview of what's to come in the regular season. Sure, the playbooks are usually vanilla in the preseason...but...

If Benson has trouble against San Diego and / or Dallas I would expect to see more Garret Wolfe or Adrian Peterson. (gasp) It might be up to Grossman and the passing game to carry the team.

As a Vikings fan, I sure hope Grossman is relied on a lot this year. :)
