LOL you guys prop Bennett up on some pedestal yet no team in the league wants anything to do with him after he has been there for a few games. He has more off sides penalties than anything since he arrived and is doing nothing but contributing to the sinking of the ship. Signing him is just another one of the bad decisions that happen all too often.
That not even true, he wanted to play more meet with Bill and they reached an agreement.

I can't post the source tweet but this is greatness. Make Bennett Coach.
:clap::clap::clap:

In fiery locker-room speech, Cowboys DL Michael Bennett challenged teammates to raise bar.
"The enemy against greatness is the unwillingness to change. We’ve got to be able to change some of the things that we’ve been doing to demand more from ourselves."

Took him what? A month to see this? I guess when you go from the penthouse of coaching in New England to the outhouse in Dallas, the difference is eye-opening.

so I almost can't wait until the end of the season once Bennett is a free agent again - he will have no problems letting us all know of the slop that is coaching this team (at the top)....

...whether he is dividing the team or not, he is NOT wrong...and while I love Dak and others for the things that they say (sometimes), they are ALL on the company line after a loss saying it was the play of the players and has nothing to do with the coaches

methinks they doth protest too much

Eh, who the Hell is this guy to come in and act like he's anyone to the Cowboys.

Just got cut by the Patriots. That tells me all I need to know. He's really never stuck anywhere. He's the one that probably needs to change; and part of the problem.


I disagree and I hated Bennett thought he was a self-entitled little ***** but the Cowboys needed someone to lose it and show emotion, show that they care, light a fire under someone's ***! I really hope that Bennett got into someone's face and challenged the **** out of him and maybe this will wake this team up! Let's put it this way this team does NOT have a killer win at all cost attitude!

Context? My point was twofold...

One, Bennett just got here and yet he is now the voice in the locker room?

Two, Bennett has had several brushes with the law, team mates, coaches, and owners. A demonstrated pattern of moronic, entitled behavior throughout his career.

Most emotion I've heard out of a Cowboys player in years

Send this message to Jerry. WE NEED CHANGE
I am 100% positive that Jerry got this message from Michael Bennett and people were worried that he would cause Havoc here that sounds like a voice of reason to me

First, no one else cares to voice the laissez-faire culture among staff and players.

Secondly, what does his personal life have to do with anything, and can you prove all that you have stated?

This is such an unlikable team from the owner down to each and every player. Talent they have, but no heart or desire. I see no emotions on the sideline. Just a bunch of individuals.

There is is thing called the internet. Embedded in this internet there is a magical tool called the Google. When combined with self discovery it can be quite magical.

Really, and if you read all stories on this magical web, you may find truth, but you will also find bias, lies, and agenda driven articles. Let me guess your research skills.

I would call him a hypocrite and spit in his face. He’s a known liar and talks out of both sides of his loud mouth. There’s a good reason he’s been on so many teams. The juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

People here always talk about why NE is so successful and how BB gets rid of allegedly great players and continues to succeed yet he dumps off one of his “good” players to us and all of the sudden we got a great deal :rolleyes:

Bellichick is smarter than all of us, do you think he would have given away Bennett if he was worth it? No. Bennett is trash and is known for dividing locker rooms amongst other things but continue to support the chump and think of how BB gave us such a “great” deal for nothing because he didn’t.

Absolutely spot on. And if he’s preaching about stepping up he may want to try leading by example. He was a dud yesterday. 1 or 2 whole tackles all game? Give us a break. Another big talker that doesn’t back it up with performance on the field

The Google will show you a very infamous encounter with police that displays your hero in a , shall we say, not so favorable light. But enough with the spoilers.
