Melvin White + Bene Benwikere; plus some secondary notes

Recommended Posts

A lot of fans had the opinion the WR group could be an improvement so our passing game hasn't been a huge surprise and the OL is kinda what I'd thought it would be.....but this secondary behind our front-7 is looking very good.  Even when the opposing QB has had sufficient time these past 2 weeks, it's been hard for them to find open guys.   I'm thinking we've got some great players in place for the future back there.  

 

In particular, Melvin White and Bene Benwikere are the future at CB and Cason is proving to be no slouch minus a few off years recently.  

 

DeCoud was all over the field and SS isn't looking as terrible as I had thought.  

 

Big ups to our defense proving it's such a force and here's to Cason, White and Bene continuing to light things up.

God it's great to see praise for Melvin on here.  Was a pleasure to watch him ball at UL, and it's even better to see him keep proving doubters wrong at the NFL level.

 

He's proven to be a legit NFL starter.  23 and 25 will be back there together for a good bit of years.

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
