[carolinajay]

Bene is now the CB version of David Gettis.

Welp, one way to light a fire under guys asses is to kick someone to the curb.

We'll see if it works.

Part of this just feels like an attempt to dictate the narrative.

The team will likely never give up 300 yards to a single WR again so there's nowhere to go but up and gives Gettleman the chance to get up at the podium at the end of the year and say "well once I made Ron put my guys out there things clearly improved, cutting Josh was obviously the right move and everybody else is at fault but me here, really"

Gettleman traded up to draft Bene only 2 years ago. If that's not a "Gettleman guy", then I don't know what is.

Looks to me like Bene is an innocent victim of Gettelman's attempt to send the locker room a wake up call. Bene didn't deserve to be cut. Demoted maybe, but not cut. Especially considering our other options at CB. I wish him luck elsewhere. 

that's actually pretty ridiculous. people said the same thing after cason and jason avant, both at times when we were in deep poo at those positions, and in retrospect it was the right move.

i am questioning dave like everybody else but let's not be ridiculous.

Is Bene any better than these rookies or even Melvin White when playing outside? I don't think so. He gave up in that Atlanta game, what worries me is Bradberry came off and the docs said there was actually nothing wrong and he could of played. Sounds like we got some weak guys on the field

Bene hasn't been the same and he might be causing rift in the locker room but it is just speculation because it is more than just one game.

Is TD being PC here or is there something to this?

Funny story. So we cut Bene and moved a Hurney pick, Robert McClain, into his starting spot.

Bene's presence here has no correlation to Josh's absence. James Bradberry, Daryl Wprley, and Zach Sanchez are all here in signicifant part because Josh is not. The decisions correspond heavily to one another.

So someone tell me why Tolbert is still on the team?

Agreed.  Not something you want to hear from TD as a co-worker...
