Benson carted off field

It was a precautionary measure by the coaches, scooter. Stop hyperboling bro. Teams are always over cautionary with players right now (see LT's injury etc)

[Frankie Valiant 0]

What's with all the Benson hype anyhow?....I ccould understand if we had a real $hity RB in Chicago and we needed a big boost in that area, but we don't!...

 

 

this cat is way overated, and like I said in earlier post: "I have a hard time believing that Benson will beat out TJ for the job!".....Benson showed me squat last year, and he has not been anything special again so far this year! .........

Jeez.... Who's got Adrian Peterson??? Its hard to believe those zany defenders would purposely hurt Benson like that, so Ill choose to believe this was a clean hit, but a 'sandwich' hit nonetheless with the safety actually coming into the play on a friggin' screen pass from BEHIND Benson. Did anyone actually see Ced catch that ball in the footage that has been shown here? Was it decent? anyway.....Benson looked like he relaxed for a fraction of a second after the Urlacher hit. the blind hit on a relaxed shoulder made the difference. But, this is a football example of friendly fire, and if Benson misses 3 or 4 weeks as a result of this stupidity, then Id drop him down to a late 8th or 9th round pick and slide Thomas Jones up a couple of rounds......as much as it pains me to say that. Ive been as big a backer of Benson as any non-Bears homer, but this type of flukey injury has me wondering if its just not in the cards for the kid.

[bgard72 10]

It doesn;t look that bad at all.....

 

Go to www.chicagobears.com, then go to the Video tab on the right side of the site, and you can watch the hit by selecting 8/4 Video from Friday's practice.

 

The hit looks pretty innocous.

 

 

I hope all the people that were crying that this was a dirty hit/cheap shot by Urlacher/Brown actually see the video now. The hit was NOTHING! Urlacher barely got him....Brown bumped into him at the end.

 

And you know what...if the hit was a hard hit....SO WHAT!!! This is the NFL and he needs to be able to take it. So all the fans complaning that Benson is being hit too hard or whatever just need to shut up

 

Hopefully it's nothing and he'll be back on the field soon.

CED BEN BUSTS ARM?

 

We're hearing scattered accounts of Internet and radio reports that Bears running back Cedric Benson has suffered an arm injury of some sort during a Friday night practice.

 

Reports are that Benson left the field with his arm in a sling.

 

If he has an injury that causes him to miss any significant playing time, it's a major blow to the running game, since Thomas Jones already is out with a hamstring problem.

 

And there are conspiracy theorists out there who think that the injury is the result of a Bears' defense that has been hitting Benson extra hard as a way to show support for Jones, who skipped all voluntary phases of the offseason program due to discontent regarding his contract.

he relaxed because at least one site (a reporter from espn who was there) claims the play was over and dead when urlacher and brown hit him. those defending brain-dead urlacher here are conveniently overlooking the evidence on the tape: benson was slowing down and pulling up--the play was over--when he got hit. there is no need in that situation for the defense to do anything other than two-hand touch him. instead one guy hits, turns him, and the other guy finishes him off while turned.

 

if it's so innocent, why did lovie reportedly have a closed-door meeting with the defense after practice?

 

let's face it: the bears have botched this benson ordeal from day 1 of camp and last night was the cherry on top of the sundae of stupidity.

maybe so. but i seem to remember a story about a guy getting cut in lions camp a few years ago for taking a shot at barry in practice. camp isn't the time for stupid shows of machismo; it's a time to get your football team in shape and keep them in shape.

 

if this had been the only time urlacher and the defense had been stupid all week, that's one thing. but it's been widely reported and well documented how stupid the defense has been toward benson all weel leading up to this.

 

and lovie's an idiot for letting it continue.

 

the proof will be in the pudding: watch. regarldless of how benson's injury turns out (bad or not so bad) you'll see an entirely different "tone" of practice from the bears from here on out. and if that's the case--if they alter how they approach practice...what does that say about soundness of what it is they were doing before?

Have you watched the video? This play was barely a hit. The injury looks like it was incidental, not the result of excessive aggression or stupidity.

 

As far as handing him the job, Lovie has been consistent in that players out of camp lose their current ranking on the depth chart. Jones, briggs, whoever. This doesnt mean that Jones is not in the mix for the job when he gets back on the field.

 

Hopefully this isnt serious. A definate blow to the RB depth if he is out for an extended period. Whether you side with Jones or Benson in this battle, the team is better with both of them in there. Last year's preseason kicked off with a big injury to Grossman - now this. We'll see what the xrays reveal.

the x-rays were taken immediately after the incident last night but the bears said they were waiting until today to release the results of them. you'd think if it were good news they would have said so immediately.

Swamp....have you seen the video. This play was NOTHING!!!! Benson juked to get out of Urlacher coming in to make the play. Urlacher grazes him as he flys by....Brown bumps into him at the end. Almost NO contact on this one.

 

If people are complaining about other hits on Benson because they are too hard...they need to realize he'll be getting hit just as hard in a month when the season starts. Now if the hits are cheap shots, that is a different story.

Hindsight is 20/20. The pick made sense at the time given our defense was fine, and we needed offensive help. The draft sucked in terms of talent depth, so there was no interest from other teams to trade up to the Bears slot. No QB, WR, or TE made sense at that spot. No OL did, either. It was either Benson or Cadillac, and the Bears brass perceived Benson to be a better fit for what the Bears do on offense.

 

Thomas Jones had exactly one "full" season played to that point, and had hardly proved he was someone we could count on. I will give you that after another quality Thomas Jones season, the pick does look questionable in hindsight, but who should we have picked? If you're going to take a shot at the Bears decision making process, back it up with what would have been better, limiting yourself to what the Bears knew then and not now.

The video clearly shows that this wasn't anything vicious, but it also shows how Urlacher's hit, extended the shoulder blade from behind, kind of teeing it up for the love tap from the front and side. I predict this is a minor injury, as opposed to a knee thing, but major enough to place Jones in firm control of the starting job to kick off the season. (Torn Rotator Cuff/Separated shoulder/broken clavicle)

here's the thing: there's lots of baggage attached to this situation, to this play. for example, mike williams misses a treatment for a hammy pull. if that is looked at in a vacuum, no big whoop. that sort of thing happens all the time. but because of his history and his baggage, the incident takes on a whole new dimension.

 

same here: it has been reported all week by the media that the bears defense was lining up and taking shots at benson. a number of media people (and others) questioned it. because of this already established history, there is baggage attached to this incident.

 

like it or not, fair or not, that's the way it is. you will see the media pounce on this and question what and how the bears are practicing. it's the new bone for the media dog.

I love how people watch a video, don't analyze it, then make a stupid comment. His shoulder was wrenched at a weird angle during that hit. Maybe you should also realize Benson was the 4th pick, not the 5th.

Am I the only one thinking that their draft this year looks even worse because they lost another cog in the O?

[Walter34 3]

Who were they suppose to take? They have great depth at RB, 3 qbs locked in and several young WRs that are competing for the spots. The only O player that I would have liked to see was a TE taken in the 1st 3 rounds.

 

On D, they needed CB depth with Azumah's retirement and they needed to improve abysmal KRs. They did both with their 1st two picks.

-- Benson OUT 2+ Weeks --

Sat Aug 5, 2006 --from FFMastermind.com

 

The Chicago Sun-Times reports Bears RB Cedric Benson (left shoulder), who underwent X-rays Friday night after getting hit by MLB Brian Urlacher and SS Mike Brown, is expected to miss two weeks. Benson caught a checkdown pass from QB Rex Grossman and was hit -- but not hard -- Urlacher and then by Brown. Though the contact wasn't even enough to send him to the ground, Benson crumpled in pain and stayed down for five minutes, surrounded by coaches and players. He left on a cart with a bandage suspending his left arm and raised his right hand in the "Hook'em, Horns" sign as he rode through the tunnel. Benson's durability made him attractive to the Bears -- he played 49 games at Texas and finished as the sixth-leading rusher in NCAA history -- but he missed six games last season with a right knee sprain. HC Lovie Smith saw nothing out of the ordinary about the defenders' play. [There has been speculation that some of the Bears defenders want to deliver a message over their displeasure with Benson's training camp-long holdout last year.] "Our guys don't hit unnecessarily out here," Smith said. "Believe me, it's a team, and you're going to get hit from time to time. There was nothing cheap about it." Benson, by Smith's account, was having an excellent camp and might have been locking up the starting job. With RB Thomas Jones (hamstring) pull expected to miss another week of practice, RB Adrian Peterson will assume the No. 1 running back role for now.

 

Jones out another week and Benson out two weeks.

guys, I was there and it wasnt a hard hit at all. Mr. Urlacher and Mr. Brown have hit me harder when I accidently use one of thier towels in the locker room. Please dont blame CedBen, he is a really nice guy. He is just delicate. He is a good snuggler though. Usually him and Rex wear Red Jerseys with pink stripes so all the defensive guys know to keep a 3yd distance at all times. Earlier this week Rex fell over a pylon and everyone thought he broke his leg. Luckily he landed on Bernard Berrian.

skeptical (and no, i don't hope he's hurt--on the contrary). nowhere in this third-hand report does it say what exactly the injury is or the results of the x-rays. i haven't yet seen any major news media run this assessment or seen it talked about on any fan boards.

 

when tucker was hurt (and thanks for caring, walt ) we knew in 12 hours the EXACT injury.

 

they could be keeping the severity under wraps while they try to find a free agent/trade partner...and it could be a face-value report. but if so, it's very odd they wouldn't announce what the injury is and what the x-rays showed.

 

Wow, you really have to feel bad for Rex. From Pro Bowl alternate, to walking bandage. His career was looking so promising...

life ain't fair, get used to it. how many times do i have to explain this to you? the media baggage was already attached to this benson issue before he got hurt. therefore, the bears are going to be criticized in the media over this. does it mean that the hit was a bad one--one that doesn't happen in every camp every day? not necessarily. but because of the baggage, the bears are going to get skewered on this one.

 

just like mike with his baggage getting skewered over something players do every day in every camp: miss a treatment and/or show up a few minutes late for a meeting. mike's baggage guarantees he'll get skewered more for that than the next guy.

 

reality. catch it.

 

Now Rex is injured!

 

stop being so sensitive. where am i applauding this injury? i'm rightfully criticizing the bears handling of the benson situation, yes, but i wish injury on no player or person.

lovie is going to judged on everything leading up to the injury, not the play itself where the injury occured. again, is that fair? probably not. but that's the reality.

 

and, unfortunately, there's plenty for the media to question--at least there's the "perception" that there's plenty to question--so those folks definitely smell blood in the water on this one.

 

and leading the charge? the chicago media itself (i predict).

I am not discrediting you boiler (just adding my thoughts).....good post by the way!

 

If I remember correctly, Angelo took Benson because the new (and back for a second time) Offensive coordinator Ron Turner insisted that he drafted him. (actually this is something that I have no problem with, because Ron Turner did a fine job here in his first stay).....

and also, remember in 2004 when Angelo hired Terry Shea he allowed him to bring along the 'mighty' Jonathon Quinn, which of course ended in a disaster!.... but non the less Angelo gave Shea what he wanted.......

X-Rays negative

 

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...1&cset=true

 

BOURBONNAIS -- Wearing a black harness and a weary look, Bears running back Cedric Benson said Saturday that he isn't sure how long his left shoulder injury will sideline him.

 

The Bears said X-rays were negative and further tests would be conducted soon to determine the length of his absence and the extent of the injury. During Friday's second practice session, Benson took hits from Brian Urlacher and Mike Brown as he ran with a completed pass from Rex Grossman. The hits didn't knock over Benson, but then he knelt on the ground. A cart was used to carry him off the field.

 

Benson said he doesn't believe it is a separation and reminded everyone that he is a fast healer who came back from a sprained knee ligament last season.

 

"I'm doing pretty good," Benson said. "I don't think it's nothing severe. Everything seems good. I did a little treatment this morning and was moving it around. I felt pretty strong. I just feel really sore today."

 

Benson is almost certain to miss Friday's preseason opener in San Francisco.

 

Benson also eloquently addressed questions about if the defense is singling him out for hitting because he missed training camp last season. He is hopeful he is earning their respect.

 

"Initially you tend to think bad things," Benson said. "You start to wonder why they hit you or if they were looking to hit you. But we watched the film and stuff and I definitely don't think they were trying to hit me or nothing like that. It was basically what we do every day in practice. I think it was a combination of bad timing, where I got hit and bad luck."
