Message: <blockquote data-quote="NelsonsLongCatch" data-source="post: 468143" data-attributes="member: 1407">Benson has been averaging 3.5 yards a carry this year.  He's been very solid for the team.  Green looks good, but is less than a year removed from an ACL tear.  I would like to see more of Green, but nobody knows if he is ready for 20 carries a game (actually the Packers probably know because that would explain Benson being signed and Green not getting 20 carries a game). Regardless of the yards per carry Benson averaged on his seven carries on Sunday, it is the threat of a run game that keeps defenses honest.  When you move Benson and start passing on every down, the defensive line can pin their ears back and rush the passer while the secondary locks on to receivers.  The lack of a run game also renders play action useless.</blockquote>
