It sounds like Tice will not let Bennett back into the starting spot without Bennett earning it. Tice said something along the lines of, "Why try something new when what you have isn't broken." The offense with Moore/Smith has been rolling along quite nicely.

I think Tice is making the wrong move here for a number of reasons.

1. Bennett has breakaway speed. Moore or Smith don't.
2. The success of Smith and Moore are greatly reliant on the OLine of the Vikings.
3. Bennett was a first rounder. That's going to cause a ruckus in the Minnesota Media. Doesn't really bother me. The best should play, period.

I do believe that no matter what, Bennett is our best bet.

We'll see what happens though.
