Thinking of Benching Gore (WHIR)

[2centworth]

Let me start off by saying I'm a big Gore Fan since his Miami days. However, I'm thinking of benching him going up against the stingy and hot Green Bay run defense. Plus, Gore's attitude at the end of the Chicago game was perplexing.

Am I Crazy?

I would replace Gore with Steve Slaton (vs Ten) or even Bernard Scott (at generous Oak) if Benson is a no go.

My running backs as they stand now are Pierre Thomas @ TB, J. Stew vs Mia, Gore @ GB.

Bench: Slaton, Moats, Choice, Scott.

I really don't see how you could sit Gore, regardless of matchup. Since returning from injury he's faced the Colts and improved Titans, and done well against both. He may not explode against the Pack, but he's still a better option than your alternatives and he's proven he can produce regardless of the defense.

Good luck, and please see mine:

I love B. Scott if Benson is out. But, you can't bench Gore. he is the Niners whole offense
