i recall the opposite being true

Me too. 

Bene just happened to give up a couple of big plays against Seattle (and some other team I can't remember), so I guess that means he isn't good at the nickle. 

Nevermind the fact that every starting corner in the history of the NFL has been beaten before. You can't judge a player on one or two plays. Gotta focus on the body of work. Though it can be difficult at times.

So the play after the sack Bene put a nice hit on Henry.  Possibly my favorite play he made considering the size difference.

That blitz that goth him a sack seemed like the defense was actually imposing itself rather than sitting back. Might've been against backups ups but they were so much more active.

Makes you wonder then why is he not on the outside

If you remember, at the Combine, Rivera and/or Gettleman talked about giving Bene the opportunity to move back outside.  We thought he would be opposite J-No.  Then comes the departure of J-No... things changed.  Bene is our most experienced guy at Nickel.  Sanchez is probably not quite ready for prime time at Nickel yet.  So, the need at Nickel makes playing Bene in the slot a good option.  Also, his leg/ankle injury probably makes limiting Bene's snaps not a bad idea, at least early in the season.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      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.
