Guess How Griese Injured His Shoulder
On a play that surprised no one that follows the Bears, quarterback Brian Griese was injured. His shoulder no less. How did it happen?
Well ……
The RB that is averaging a whopping 3.0 yards per carry, and who is telling anyone who will listen how it is not his fault, missed the block. Yes, you guessed it. Cedric Benson. The running back that is making another former Texas ball carrier look somewhat normal. Here is the story and what Offensive Coordinator, Ron Turner had to say:
Look out block: Brian Griese’s shoulder injury occurred when blitzing Raiders middle linebacker Kirk Morrison came unblocked to the quarterback.
“We didn’t block who we were supposed to block, and the Mike (middle) linebacker came right up the middle, and we let him go,” said Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner. “So we had a missed assignment there and turned the guy loose.”
The responsibility for picking up Morrison belonged to running back Cedric Benson.
“I don’t want to start pointing fingers at who’s supposed to do it,” Turner said. “We just didn’t pick him up. He should have been blocked, and we didn’t block him.”
Anyone else notice how quiet the former Longhorn has been since Sunday?
