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.

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.

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.
