mollllnnnnn Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I'd put in Benson. I think the only way the Steelers can tackle the Ravens is by passing the ball down field...whenever they beat the Ravens it's usually through the air.

JLP1721 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Willie vs Bal Benson vs Det Help me, I will help you. post a link and I will answer. Basically I would think like you said "start your stud" I know Bal has a great defense but I think this will be a close game and Pit will run the ball as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radcard Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Benson, for the reasons below; I posted this in a response to someone else's question. Parker may have 80 total yards, but I doubt a TD. Baltimore stops the run first and usually does so. See LT's game this year. Chi's D hopefully rebounds and kills Det drives, thus increasing Chi time of possession and overall clock killing rushing attempts for Chi RBs with Benson as the primary beneficiary. Also, Det has been giving away rushing TDs like candy lately, although last week was to #2 RB (Morency), not to #1 RB (Green) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetFanMike Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 This is a tough call -- FWP is a stud RB, and I'd probably start him against about 29 or 30 teams. The Ravens are one of the exceptions though. And Benson has a real nice matchup with Lions. However, he still may be sharing carries (either with Thomas Jones, or maybe even Adrian Peterson). I guess that I'd watch for late news. If T. Jones is out, and Benson will dominate the Bears' carries, I'd use him over FWP. But if Jones is playing and getting half the playing time, you've gotta stick with Parker. Sorry for talking in circles... but hopefully this at least gives you something to think about.

yankees#1 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I have the same hope as you for Benson. He's been waiting a long time for this opportunity and so have we. If he starts he will run hard and the offensive line might give a little extra for him. He has a lot to prove and he knows that. I will be starting him because it is the right thing to do.

Joe knows Superbowls Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I have to agree with Benson, the Bears are splitting carries with him and Jones and when they get a big enough lead, he'll be the man. I don't think Parker will crack the 50 yard mark against Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupaDawg Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Wille, definately. He's just more agile and can break a big one. Benson can always get caught from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbluefan Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) FWP will get the most carries....end of decision ! Benson may be splitting with not only TJ, but also peterson, especially if Bears get decent lead !

rellen13 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Tough one, but I think this week it's Benson. DET ain't very good, and after getting a lead, I expect him to get the rock a bunch. He could break one long, and should get the gl carries as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
