Thats what everyone here was saying. Not that it was 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.

Everyone was clamouring for him to ply outside after finishing 2014 there. It was based on PFF grading him better outside than inside. Am I hallucinating this? It's possible.

They graded him as one of the best outside players in the league, iirc

I don't claim PFF is the bible but I knew there was something to him in some way at some time being called better out than in.

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.
