Cedric Benson normally gets almost 90% of the carries and hasn't been slowed down until yesterday. Bernard Scott is a good compliment to him as a quick option out of the backfield. Brian Leonard is a great 3rd down back, he can block and catch. Marvin Lewis said in a press conference earlier today that this signing wouldn't affect any of the current backs on the roster or their roles.
Those are the the reasons why I don't think he's a fit here. Anyways i'm not against the signing, We've found some gems off the scrap heap and I hope this situation is another one. If Benson is out on Sunday I would expect him to split carries with Scott.
Marvin Lewis' comments from earlier today:
"That's what his role would be, it would be as a fourth running back and an opportunity as a backup player on this football team doing all the things backup players do, and that's work their tails off in the kicking game and showing looks (on the scout team) and so forth that way," Lewis said. "And then he would be an insurance policy if something would happen down the line to one of our guys where he'd have a chance to be active.
"But I couldn't foresee him being active when he was initially here, if this is what happens. And that's what I've told him."
