Tandy Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 He had 120 yards on 27 carries for 4.4 yards per carry and 1 touchdown and he beat out Turner who had 97 yards on 22 carries for 4.4 yards per carry and 3 touchdowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Benson has been the most overrated player so far this year. Yeah he leads the league right now but he'll fade out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjv315 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I wanted Turner to win it too, but Cedric is burnin up the league...for now. Turner will pick up a FedEx award soon. He better!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was based on last weeks performance. Turner had 2 more touchdowns than him and the same yards per carry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vent King Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 This time I'd have to give it up to Benson. Although Turner did his thang, a couple of those TDs were gimmes (goal line action) for a man of his stature and the game being a blowout probably had something to do with it too. Benson was a very big factor in his team being in position to pull out a close one vs the Ravens. Normally I'd again yell "bias!", but not this ONE time...

Again, I wanted Turner to get it, but he didn't.Turner did it against the 49ers. They've only given up 0.3 more yards per game rushing than the Ravens.

azinine Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 It's because that was the 1st 100-yd rushing game that the Ravens had given up in 39 games. Don't get bent out of shape over these "awards" guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rounz Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 You would think that the other two touchdowns would count for something, with everything else being pretty much equal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libid21 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Benson was the first player to rush for more than 100 yards against the Baltimore Ravens' D in 40 games. It would have been a tough choice for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Rider Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Turner should of won for having 3 TDs and doing so against a stout run defense in the 49ers but Benson is tearing it up this yr and I can't say he doesn't deserve it as well. This award is 100% fan voting anyway so it doesn't really mean anything. It's 100% biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffGeorge Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 The Ravens havent allowed a 100 yard rusher since the 2007 season (or early 08) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnex Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Benson has been the most overrated player so far this year. Yeah he leads the league right now but he'll fade out soon.Unless he gets injured this season I don't think Benson is going to fade. Maybe he's finally grown up and figured out how fortunate he is to have this opportunity. Plus Cincy is winning this year so I'm sure that all of their players are still really excited every week to play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Falcon Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Ok, fine.....didn't win it....just have to win it against Da Bears next week. Exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 It's the fans fault. And we all know fans are dumb.But Benson did do it against that defense for the first time in over 40 games. Impressive. And in B-More. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Same Ol Falcons Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 When Turner scored his 3rd TD, I didn't say "Holy **** Turner just got 3 TD's on the Niners" but when I saw Benson hit 100 on the Ravens I did say "Holy **** someone finally got a 100 on the Ravens" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a very good defense now - last year they were special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
