[CBFF] Olsen looks to take next step in second NFL season -Chicago Bears - Sent Using Google Toolbar

[Steve Behrens]

Really?  Because i'll give you one play that pretty much, to me any,
illustrates the difference between the two;  it was when AP carried
the pile of 8 or 9 tacklers 6 or 7 yards for a TD.

Who here feels that Benson would have put the same effort in and
achieved the same results with eights guys hangin on him?

I don't care what the stats say.... in this case stats lie.  I know AP
was the better, harder runner.
