Here's the quick read from "The REAL Feed":
Bennett ready to shoulder Vikes' running load
ESPN: NFL (25.11.2003 16:00)
RB will stay away from halftime java A cup of coffee stopped Michael Bennett more than the Detroit Lions did on Sunday, so the Vikings feel Bennett now is ready for a heavier load. Bennett will start against the St. Louis Rams this Sunday and will receive the majority of the carries, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported in Tuesday's editions. Bennett gained 73 yards on 15 carries against Detroit, but had only four carries in the second half after vomiting on the sidelines -- caused by coffee he drank at halftime. "I'm...
Moe Williams will finally be taking his rightful position in the backseat. However, it will be interesting to see what his future might hold. He proved to be quite a bit more effective than many thought he would be. As for Onterrio Smith's future,... that's really a puzzle now. Michael Bennett, I think, will have an AWESOME close to the season.

If nothing else, Moe has made the Vikings a more dangerous RZ team. He's proven he will get 4-6/carry, so he's still going to vulture some TDs at the goal, and maybe even from w/in the 10.
He's also playing into the passing game a lot more than Bennett so far. Bennett wasn't even the intended recipient of a pass Sunday. Moe caught 6 for 56 and was the intended receiver for 2 others. It's too early to decide if that's how Linehan is planning on using them, or if it's a one game anomoly. This week should tell, as the Vikes should be airing it out vs STL.
