I think Leo is a better athlete than Benni and can get to the ball quicker. Yes we will lose some smarts more than likely but Leo has played football his whole life he will figure it out and he just had a whole season to learn the plays. But nobody is taking anything away from Benni, he was a hell of a player for us. Wish him the best in the NFL.
This discussion got me to thinking, currently Richie and Leo are both Mike LBs so with the departure of Beni would one move into his outside slot? Will Gerri Green still be looked at DE are does he now stay at LB? Will Dez Harris ever be a factor again with his injuries? I'm assuming Gray and Jung handle the other outside spot.
