Spoke to Bene ....

Is Bene back? Could be. 

 

Here is what he had to say.... http://www.carolinahuddle.com/2016/08/20/carolina-panthers-bene-benwikere/

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.

Jeremy, are they going to leave him at nickel all season and let the rooks start outside? Have you seen any indication of him moving outside?

Bene' is a very important player for our defense. Lets hope he can stay healthy

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.

I'm sure we'll see Bene on the outside during the season. He may even take one of spots for a good portion of the season...

Yooooo where's that clown who said Bene was complaining to the media

[GoobyPls]

Why isn't Bene the number 2? Last year he was getting torched playing nickle.

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
