BOO Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 2 years, 3 million Not bad for an explosive backup. I just hope Deuce stays healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) I like this move. Deuce's best is probably behind him anyway. With the injury, and his plodding along, can't make 1 guy miss anymore running style he's shown recently, he won't last too long. Bennett is probably not the answer long term, but neither is Deuce. RB is a position the Saints probably need to address in next year's draft. Edited March 17, 2006 by Hitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 weren't these 2 late 1st rounders in 2001?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Huddlers, keep track of your lady folk down in New Orleans. Bennett is faster off the field than on it. Btw, this has nothing to do with the boat thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryTheRock Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Decent pickup. Deuce isn't going to be 100% yet this year. Between the two of them they should make a decent backfield with neither having to carry the full load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordo Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) What's not to like about it ? Cost next to nothing, can never have enough RBs. BTW, also signed Omar Stoudmire and Anthony Simmons today. And guys, the disaster jokes have really really gotten old Edited March 17, 2006 by Cordo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Apropos of nothing, a couple good friends of mine played with Bennett in HS. Anyway, his only real attribute that made him special was his mind-blowing speed; if his leg injuries have taken that away from him, he's worthless.

MikesVikes Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Interesting...any stories to share??? 1375740[/snapback] On a Viking board, almost everyone that lives in the Twin Cities knows someone that's been hit on by Bennett.

MikesVikes Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) That's two less Hummers cruising around Minny. Maybe even one less with bullet holes in it. Do you remember the time when Bennett and Daunte were out celebrating after Daunte's new contract a few years ago. Some redneck in the bar didn't appreciate the situation as much as they did. It ended with a car chase and shots fired at Bennett's vehicle. Bennett looks very good at times. He has moves because he uses them once in awhile. Other times he'll run into his blockers for no reason. They aren't going to catch him out in the open.
