Unless they are sold on Cedric Benson being their bell cow ... then another possibility for them has to be Beanie Wells. But any of those four tackles can come on in and pretty much play right away, especially the three seniors.

It's always frustrating. Every back in this league is good. He [RB Cedric Benson] had a couple of long runs that gave him a good average.
You watch guys as the game goes, and you see if they're on top of their game or they're not ... A guy's not on top of his game, you gotta be smart enough to recognize what you have to do. We had given up [195] yards, 79 of them on a screen [to running back Cedric Benson], and I made the decision.
I think our offense, especially, wasn’t happy with last week’s performance [at Cleveland], so they’ve been very dialed in and very focused. Defensively, I think, we see [wide receivers] Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, guys who have been to the Pro Bowl. [Running back] Cedric Benson was the fourth player selected in the [2005] draft [by the Chicago Bears]
Cedric Benson has over 100 yards, they threw the ball well, the quarterback scrambled, they took the first couple of drives down the field and it's 14-0 ... All our guys have to do is look at that tape and see they are playing pretty well right now.
If you watched that game, against a good Jacksonville team . . . Cedric Benson had over 100 yards rushing. They threw the ball well. The quarterback scrambles. All our guys have got to do is look at that tape and they'll say, 'Hey, they're playing pretty good right now.'
Ryan Fitzpatrick is a must have if you have Palmer, Cedric Benson needs to be picked up if you have Perry.
Guys are out there fighting. Guys are trying to make plays. Guys are out there trying their hardest ... So people are shoveling. It's not just a slogan. It's not just a catch phrase. It's what we've been doing. People are out there playing extremely hard. Cedric Benson ran the ball hard. He definitely did. He's a hard runner. Chicago let him go, we're happy to have him.
The point I just made in there was that the halftime score was 10-7. And after Cedric (Benson's) run in the fourth quarter, for whatever reason, we just seemed to dissolve in every area
Don't forget about that Tulane running back, Matt Forte. He's been a huge upgrade over Cedric Benson last season. And Minnesota still has a chance to get back into this race. I couldn't believe they beat the Saints in New Orleans. The Vikings have to be feeling good about that win.
