From SI's Truth and Rumors (Re: Bears)

Quote:
Don't expect to see too much of Bears rookie running back Cedric Benson on Sunday. With Kyle Orton at the controls, it's a safe bet the Washington Redskins will send blitz after blitz. Putting Benson on the field too much could get Orton pummeled because the rookie running back may not have enough experience in blitz pickup and pass protection.
-- Daily Herald

Coach Lovie Smith would not shed any more light on his plans for running back Cedric Benson in the Bears' opener Sunday at Washington. The No. 4 pick suited up in full pads for the first time Wednesday and got in some limited hitting.
-- Chicago Sun-Times
Though I don't have a special fear of Benson (I think Jones is as good a back), if they want to keep talent off the field for us, that's fine with me.

The hardest thing for young backs to pickup is blitz coverage, especially if they have to pick up Lavar, Washington, or Taylor.

When the rook is in at RB, we're gonna bring it. And every other play as well, probably!

yeah, they can plug in a rookie RB and he can run fine (oline takes time to learn schemes, RB is mainly finding the hole and flying through it), but the pass protection schemes and who to pickup are complex compared to the running part of the job, and most QBs aren't happy taking sacks cause some loser couldn't figure out how to get to camp on time.

I think he was the best RB in the draft, with JJ arrington a close second. Cadillac and RB complimented each other and played off each other. It was hard to game plan auburn with the tangent they had.

Hey if Benson gets in the game its just the same we'll stamp his ass if he gets the ball, and we'll abuse his camp abscence in the pass protection. It's probably in the bears best interest for him to sit.
