Bengals' Benson Unhappy, But Why?

Reports are starting to circulate about Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson being unhappy in the offense.
Just when it looked like things were coming together for the dysfunctional organization, with Sunday’s 23-20 upset of the unbeaten Buffalo Bills a rallying point, now this.
What do we make of the latest? Here’s what I got...
During a locker room interview with Benson after Sunday’s win, one could sense some frustration but not to the level of being unhappy with the team. Benson seemed flummoxed regarding the team’s struggles on offense and was hesitant to speak on the matter.
“I’m not in the best mood to really talk about all that right now,” Benson said. “We started off rough in the first half and I didn’t know what we were doing. We were rotating a lot and I didn’t know what was going on. I don’t know. I really can’t comment on it.”
Despite the rotation and state of confusion, Benson played well, running like he was mad at the grass. He rushed for 104 yards on 19 carries, averaging 5.5 yards per attempt. The runner did his thing on the field but apparently was a little agitated about something afterward.
But what?
