Cedric Benson’s suspension reduced
Posted: Tue, 18 Oct 2011 04:36 PM - 9,966 Readers
By: Cedric Golden
Cedric Benson will not be suspended three games as some suspected
after last offseason’s arrest in Austin. Instead, the Bengals star
running back will miss one game, against Seattle, following Cincinnati’s bye week.
I’ve always maintained that Ced B. should sell his crib in Lake
Travis and leave the Austin area because he just seems to always get in
to trouble here. I can’t recall him getting arrested in his other two
home cities of Chicago and Cincinnati and he has to know that the latest
arrest cost him any leverage in signing a long-term extension with the
Bengals.
Hopefully he will treat this suspension reduction as a wakeup call.
The Bengals are one of the league’s feel-good stories. At 4-2, they are
are in the thick of the AFC North race with the league’s second ranked
defense. More important, the future appears bright after much maligned
owner Mike Brown traded distruntled, semi-retired QB Carson Palmer to Oakland for a pair of draft picks.
Benson is on pace to run for 1,100 yards for the second straight year
and it’s obvious he has found a home in Cincy. His two goals should be
to keep pounding the rock and most important, to keep his nose clean.
The organization has stood by him and now he should reward that loyalty
by playing effective, drama-free football for the rest of his stay
there.
