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

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO

      The season is over, and we're going to get clowned on by Mayfield and Darnold before it's over.

      Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years

      Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
