Texans bringing in running back Cedric Benson

[John S]

I'm glad he signed with the Bengals. That was too much money for a backup.

I dunno, but doubt that anyone was surprised by the outcome of this situation ? And Benson did seem to be a good potential fit as the "Mr. Inside" to go with our bright, new "Mr. Outside" star back.
I'm still a little surprised that the ole man gave Smith & Kubiak the green-light to try to deal with Benson & his agent given his character issues, but maybe it shows a new sense of urgency by McNair to finally break into the winning column & the playoffs ?
