Scott is a good guy, but hes more of a change of pace pack. I doubt he would last with 25-30 carries like Benson has been having per game although i wouldn't mind him taking a kick return to the house every game now we have let him be our kick returner.
Benson is getting a lot of carries this season and i can see us signing LJ as an insurance policy for the playoffs just in case the workload catches up with Ced and he picks up an injury. Let LJ sit and learn the offense and fill in when needed.
I could see the benfits of LJ but i think if, as is being intimated by Marvin Lewis, he will be behind Scott and Leonard then his negatives outweigh his positives.
Scott looks decent and i'm sure him and Leonard could split the carries for the game against Oakland and then take maybe 5-10 from Benson for a couple of weeks and let him get fit and rested for the play-offs.
Benson has the most carries of any RB i think.
Without doubt he is comeback player of the year.
