Bene to start camp on Pup

Well, this is actually bad news. Yes, the rookies do need the reps but so does Bene. Been a while since he played and he isn't an aged veteran. 

Exactly what I was thinking.  He's just going to get further behind, and that's bad for him, and our secondary as a whole.

I am a huge optimist at this point every year, but I just cannot see the positive in this. Bene is badly needed out there.

That's one of the reasons I think the hand DG played at CB was a little careless.

Why this is pretty bad news:

1. Bene will be asked to jump (basically) from the nickel to covering the #1 wr.  that is a bigger jump than from college to #2 cb.

2. We can play with 1 rookie CB out there--not 2.

3. It also suggests the break was pretty dang bad.  Some never recover--has he lost a step?  He was  a 4.69 40 guy at his pro day (4.63 at combine).  He can't afford to lose much speed.

    • WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.
    • Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.   
    • In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
