Thread: Vikings RB Situation

New to the site and board here and since I don't live in the Minnesota area, my coverage of the Vikings is limited. Can anyone give me some thoughts on what is going to happen with O. Smith when Bennett is healthy again? Have Tice & company alluded to whether Bennett is the starter when healthy or has Smith stolen the spot given his recent performances. Just curious.

smith will probley lose his appel{sp} get suspened 4 games

bennett will start

Welcome to the site blail!! Were do you live? As for the Bennett/Smith situation they probably haven't thought about it because Bennett will be back for Houston and Smith will be out for the next four games. My guess is that Bennett will be the main guy with Moe getting some third down and short yardage carries. Smith will probably be used to spell Bennett when they are both playing!

Thanks for the welcoming. I live in Norman, OK and the only talk here is about the Sooners (whom I also support). At the risk of sounding like a complete imbacile, remind me again what Smith is being suspended for.

welcome to the board

Well, first off, Welcome to the board Blail. Second, I'm pretty sure that Bennett has the starting job wrapped up especially since Onterrio will probably be out for the next 4 weeks. When Onterrio comes back they will share carries, but Bennett is still the man until he proves otherwise. Give him two weeks of not performing though and Onterrio will probably get the nod. These are all just my opinions by the way.

Welcome blail. I'd have to guess that most people from Norman, OK don't follow the Vikes. What's your story?

Thanks for enlightening me. Go Vikes!

Do you really think Bennett will lose his starting job?

I would like to hear why this is. Unless this injury was more serious than reported he was in top shape before the injury. He is a more explosive back than Smith. I love the way Smith filled in and I think he could start on any team in the league except for the obvious places like GB,KC, Sea and the others.
