Homie needs to put on a little more bulk, Bene gets pushed around a good bit

I didn't worry too much about him getting beat by Randall Cobb.  Cobb's been known to beat number one corners.

Overall though, it has been happening with enough frequency to get noticed.

If you were an opposing Offensive Coordinator are you going to throw to:

A) Norman's side

B) Tillman's side

Or

C) Bene's side

 

c'mon guys, he hasn't been bad by any stretch of the imagination. Being a slot CB isn't easy when you're getting illegally picked every play! U just see him get beat a bit more because of the frequency of plays ran at him.

He's a hell of a player, and if that's the defense's weakness, I'm taking that all day with Roman, Colsman, Luke, and TD cleaning up after the catch.

Thats just me though

Those Damn triangular football pitches...

Seriously though we gotta lay off Bene, gave up some points to Randal Cobb and Andre Johnson. Lot worse has happened to second year CBs.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
