Cedric Benson-Cincinnati Bengals…Is There a More Perfect Match?

On the heels of this country seemingly going down the shitter because those ass holes in Washington can’t get on the same page, wondering what’s going to happen next? Will Joe Six Pack be laid off, because incidentally 6.1 percent of us are unemployed…And that number will only continue to rise and this country runs a muck! It’s just too bad that we can’t have the peeps who run the Cincinnati Bengals on Capital Hill. Not sure which would be better…Shit heads who say they have our backs, but in all honesty don’t or the Bengals brass whose odds are would sign Rae Carruth the moment he gets out of the slammer? They employ anybody!
The Bengals have said that they want to change their entire persona…That be of losing and not being labeled the Mean Machine of the NFL. The losing they did change for a few years at least, but now your fathers Bengals have resurfaced this year. Although, I’m a bit perplexed…The Bengals want to change their image of not having anything to do with individuals who exemplify character concerns, but if you’re trying to do that, um, do you sign Cedric Benson? Instead of trying to clean up that persona, um, aren’t you just adding to it? Arguably you’ll not find a better fit anywhere of one specific player to one specific team…I mean, the fit of these two sides can’t get anymore perfect, as both represent what the other is!
Look I understand the need for a running back in The Natti do to Kenny Watson’s hamstring issue and Chris Perry’s non existence…And having to choose either Cedric Benson or Shaun Alexander to fill the role is not exactly ideal for anybody! For all intensive purposes every GM in the league would’ve chosen Benson over Alexander…That’s along the same of choosing Obama over McCain, don’t know when the old foggie will fall down in the wind!
And given the state of the Bengals O-Line, um, hell, they could sign Usain Bolt ' if the run blocking, (hell, just the blocking as a whole) by the offensive line doesn't improve, hello news flash, Benson won’t fair much better. This cat, well, lets just say ' no one ever accused him of being elusive, except maybe behind the wheel of a boat! Benson running exactly as he is, at least in terms of style. Too often, the first person who touches him also tackles him. That's not really a spectacular trait in a player who seems to seek out contact. Sounds like a great addition in addition to that offensive line!
Okay, okay…I get that everybody in this country deserves, (or is it gets) a second chance. Truth of the matter is in the NFL world, he still doesn’t have a lot of miles on him and was still a fourth overall selection for a reason, (I think, verdict still out on that). So in reality the Bungles had nothing to lose, since it looks like the Bungles have come back to the NFL after being in hibernation for a few years. Truth be told though, this will undoubtedly be Benson’s "last call".
I just can’t help but wonder if Cedric Benson was supposed to be a Bengal all a long! A douchebag who had two grand juries recently declined to indict him on various carousing-while-intoxicated charges, and the Bengals reach out to you…Man, makes you wonder! Another thing I’m pondering…Will he be named one of the Bengals captains this week?
