Spoke to Bene ....

Thrilled to see him making plays today, and especially that he snagged that INT.  He's one of my favorite guys on the team, and I've been concerned about his recovery.  Today has got to be a big boost for his confidence and morale, giving him some extra motivation to keep pounding, keep rehabbing, keep playing in spite of the pain.

Bene earned his lunch money in the nickel. I don't understand why people are clamoring for him to move. If we need an outside corner, then we should sign one.

No one is really clamoring for it. If they want to leave Worley out on the outside as a trial by fire, I'm good with it.  It'll take him time and experience to improve and he'll get plenty of it.

Because Bene prefers to be on the outside. Make him comfortable then. He played well there during his rookie campaign with Norman.

The way I see it, Bradberry and Benwikere should be our starting CBs and Sanchez should be our Nickel (we drafted him for that reason).

I don't remember Benwikere being a standout outside corner his rookie year. I remember him doing fairly well as a stand-in, but more on a stop-gap level. It would be interesting if someone had his efficiency ratings on the outside and in the nickel. I could be wrong, but it seems to me like his best work has been in the slot.

He was better outside than in.

Makes you wonder then why is he not on the outside. Maybe after the Worley waxing...

I think the key is a combination of was and it being fan opinion not coach opinion. I think with the importance of nickel that coaches value experience there. I'd think it's more to know and execute properly than outside

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
