OK, for all you Ronnie Brown worshippers, I have YET ANOTHER Benson + to shoot you down:
From MEL KEIPER (aka GOD) himself:
5Cedric BensonSr.RBTexas
Best blocker among this year's backs.
So thus far the "Brown is way faster" has been shot down, with Benson posting similar times ON GRASS to Brown's 40 times on faster TURF. Now the "Brown is a much better blocker" has been shot down by MEL freakin' KEIPER (who is like NEVER wrong). Benson is the more powerful runner with the abiltiy to make holes and get YAC, so he can make something out of nothing. He is more durable, and he is used to beaing a feature back. SO NOW the only thing Ronnie has on him is "excellent" hands (compared to Benson's "effective" hands) and better "attitude" but it's made out like Benson's attitude sucks, which it doesn't, so really Brown gets the edge in hands and the rest is almost even or for Benson.
