[CBFF] QB talk aside, Bears know they need a better Benson

[Phil DeNomme]

That's the thing that really torqued me about Benson last year.  He appeared
slow and out of shape.  In 2006, he ran with authority and some good
quickness.  In 2007, he didn't.

I still want to get a home run hitter to compliment him.

Good for Lovie.  We will know how serious Cedric is when he arrives at camp
and we see his physique.  Last year: a flabby, out of shape Cedric = slow
Cedric = bad running back Cedric.  If he can get leaner, he can get faster
and probably increase his production.
