Yeah, Benford is fine and the secondary is still going to be mostly adequate, probably even "good" because of the Front 7.
But Tre was back to Tre again and that created a lot of options for McDermott on defense that are no longer going to be there. They'll likely give up more points and have less turnovers without White out there.
And I think that Poyer learned a hard lesson last year and as a result is now playing the long game so he's not being held together with duct tape and bailing wire in December; I love that y'all are doubting him.
