Bears RB Benson's playing time weighing on Turner's mind

Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner admits finding a time to lift Cedric Benson from games presents a difficult challenge. Turner called it a "fine line" between knowing when to keep the running back on the field or remove him in favor of Garrett Wolfe or Adrian Peterson, as the Bears did during the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. Minnesota. "We've got to make sure that if he is going that strong and in rhythm, that we maintain it," Turner said of Benson. Then again, Turner didn't think Benson missing almost two dozen second-quarter plays against Minnesota - after averaging 5.1 yards per carry - constituted an attempt to stop using him. Benson averaged just 1.8 yards on nine second-half carries, but the Bears doubt they interrupted his rhythm. -- Daily Southtown

If Benson can give them 20 good inside carries and Wolfe and Peterson can pick up the slack on the outside the Bears' running game should be fine.
