Bengals Running Back Cedric Benson Suspended One Game
According to Cedric Benson's attorney, the Bengals feature running back will face a one-game suspension, plus a fine. Originally the league suspended Benson three games, but he appealed the decision. A decision wasn't known for some time due to Benson filing an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board. According to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer, that charge is still pending:
"Obviously Mr. Anderson (Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ray Anderson) thought that was separate in regards to the discipline," said Cornwell about the NLRB charge still being pending.
Benson will likely miss Cincinnati's next game against the Seattle Seahawks in two weeks with a bye week coming this Sunday. That would leave Brian Leonard, Bernard Scott and Cedric Peerman as potential starters. Remember back in 2009 when Scott posted his lone 100-yard game, he wasn't actually the running back that started the game against the Oakland Raiders (wow) -- Brian Leonard was.
Oh. And Mike Brown finally traded Carson Palmer on Tuesday.

Cedric's Appeal
“Mr. Goodall. I HAD TO PUNCH HIM in the face. Repeatably. Until he gave me the house key back and apologized for calling your momma those things.”
“Hmm… how about 1 game and the name of Rome’s dealer?”
“Done and DONE!”

Time
Take the time off Ced, To order some wings and have them surgically attached to your feet.
That should add two more yards to your 2 yards per carry giving you a respectable 4.0yards a carry.
I think we all know you wont be here come next year….. Why not go out with a bang ?
Done and Done.
Do you know what a super man Ass Whooping is ?... Its the type of Ass Whooping you wish you could Fly away from !....

what does this have to do with the Palmer trade...;)
seriously though, not bad, we can still win THAT game without him and move on, maybe he’s had this on his mind which has kept him from being productive since this news first came out
What if Peerman has a breakout game?
We know he’s got speed; granted that was a preseason game against the Colts…
i hope so
I really want to see how peerman can do.

Abuse of a domestic partner is no laughing matter… The league should punish these guys.

actually
I would be interested to see if leonard could handle carrying the rock a good 20 times that game.
needs to be on leonard and peerman
" Mike Brown is the owner that Cincy doesn't deserve, not the one it needs..."
Changing it entirely
Asante Samuel would be worth a move? The Eagles are looking for LBs. Complimenting one of Bengals LB with a later pick could bring good things.
i would die of happiness if the bengals traded rivers to the eagles for samuel
won’t happen. wish it would.

The reality of his suspension is it could show us that Ced is the best man for the #1 RB
or if anyone can get 3.7 per carry. And what if the three amigos get a much higher YPC against Seattle? Awkward? YES.

i bet they bring in a vet running back to replace benson during his suspension ...
I think if they were goin to.use peerman in the running game… They would have already..
Peerman may have trouble picking up blitzes during passin plays… Thats my only reasoning that he hasn’t had an opportunity at rb…
AMAS
i dont think.they will for 1 game.

maybe, maybe not
Marvin has known about this suspension for quite some time , so if they were going to implement peerman in the running game they would have to prepare for ceds suspension …. So all signs r pointing towards Scott at starter and a vet to back up… Just an observations
AMAS
its one game though
Scott Leonard and peerman.

I don't see much if any drop off without him...
I think he has got himself in the dog house with JayG anyways.

here's to hoping peerman gets some playing time
and if he performs, perhaps ced’s time in the doghouse will continue?
