Welker? bobbled it, only regained control when the defender shoved him back behind the first down marker.

Actually going for it in the first place though, if it were the other way around, and the Patriots needed a touchdown, I'd rather leave Brady 70-80 yards to get in two minutes with one timeout, than less than 30.

Faulk. He did initially bobble it but gain control of it just before the defender pushed him. It should have been about 1 yard further than where it was place, which would have been very close to a 1st down.

Hopefully he'll not be a plank.

Don't think he knows how to not be.

He was insanely good in that year he broke the carries in a season record but he's gone majory down hill since then.

How long is Benson out for? I thought the guy who came in was decent.

It's been reported that he'll be back for next week as it was a small hip-flexor strain. I doubt he will see many carries though against Oakland as they will probably let Scott and Leonard share carries again.

Scott is a good guy, but hes more of a change of pace pack. I doubt he would last with 25-30 carries like Benson has been having per game although i wouldn't mind him taking a kick return to the house every game now we have let him be our kick returner.

Benson is getting a lot of carries this season and i can see us signing LJ as an insurance policy for the playoffs just in case the workload catches up with Ced and he picks up an injury. Let LJ sit and learn the offense and fill in when needed.

I could see the benfits of LJ but i think if, as is being intimated by Marvin Lewis, he will be behind Scott and Leonard then his negatives outweigh his positives.

Scott looks decent and i'm sure him and Leonard could split the carries for the game against Oakland and then take maybe 5-10 from Benson for a couple of weeks and let him get fit and rested for the play-offs.

Benson has the most carries of any RB i think.

Without doubt he is comeback player of the year.
