Cedric Benson was average, Rudi Johnson was above average.
2008 vs Browns: 38 carries - 171 yards
2009 @ Packers: 29 carries -141 yards
2009 vs Bears: 37 carries - 189 yards - 1 TD
2010 vs Bucs: 23 carries - 144 yards
2010 vs Browns: 31 carries - 150 yards - 1 TD
These were just 5 of his 15 100 yards games (out of 56 games played as a Bengal). None of them impressed you?
I'm not arguing in favor of CedBen at all, I just think it's wild to say he was never really impressive. I say that as someone who used to argue that he was overrated.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
