I was reading an article on MSN.com I think about how Jones' blocking skills in the backfield were helping Grossman in the passing game, could this be why Benson is maybe not in their full time yet? How is Benson at picking up the blitz and blocking back there?

They don't play Benson in long enough stretches for any of us fans to know the answer to that question. I suppose the coaches see how Benson picks up blitzes in practice and have more confidence in Jones? Benson's time will come, I look for more playing time for Benson this week at home. I think the noise of the Metrodome and the incessant blitzes by the Vikings caused the coaches to just go with Jones.
I agree that the only way we'll all know for sure is to see Benson play a full half or two without substitution. Unless TJ gets hurt, I don't expect that this year.
