Free-agent running back Cedric Benson(notes) has surprised a few folks by showing up at player workouts thrown by his former Cincinnati Bengals teammates this offseason and it's sounding like he might be ready to return to the Bengals next season.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Benson has seen the team's new playbook and is liking that it has more running plays, something that was downplayed last season. He also told the paper that he feels good about quarterbacks Jordan Palmer(notes) and Andy Dalton(notes): "The quarterbacks have the playbook down comfortable and are calling plays fast," Benson said, the Enquirer reports. "It's good to see them competing and working hard."
Benson sounded most like he was ready to return to the Bengals when he predicted that he would be more vocal this coming season: "I've been very passive the last three years, almost because I've had to," Benson told the paper. "I'm not saying I'm a totally different person or I'd be crazy vocal or anything like that. I would be a little bit more expressive. I work hard and am passionate about it. I want the guys I'm playing with to be the same way."
