That play was pretty sweet. Excellent play by Bennett.


Don't even have to say it but Fasano could not make that play.

I hated the Bennett pick on draft day, looks like i'll be eating a lot of crow but it's the sweet kind of crow when being being wrong is a good thing :)

I hated the pick because it seemed like a stupid move when paired with the fasano trade.


I too will be waiting for my helping of feathers.


And you're right. This crow tastes better than others. Damn sure tastes better than the curdled bobby carpenter kool-aid I still have kicking around from a few years ago.

Man, Roy Williams breaks free just as Romo looks back to his left.... He was wide open too!!!! Good to see guys making plays, no matter who it is.

I just rewatched and man, you're right. He just fought off the jam and had gotten a couple of steps.

The guy is huge. Only thing is that I wish he had caught it w/ his hands. He will have lots of opportunities to get open in this offense.

Yes. I was noticing that too.
Romo had a ton of time and could have come back the other way.

Bennett has freaky good physical skills.

He moves like a WR.

Nice. Witten and Roy on one side, TO and Bennett on the other, with Barber leaking out underneath. Weapons galore.

I was thinking that too. He reminds me of Fitz from AZ only 'Tellus is not as fast.

John Garrett has done a heck of a job with him.

by telling him "high and tight" in that weird seductive/whispering tone of voice he has?

Let's assume for one second that Roy Williams was lined up 30 yards off the ball, or was singled up on the Commanders backup TE, Fred Davis. Let's then assume that Roy either triple covered Chris Cooley or just flat out got smoked downfield by Fred Davisfor the go ahead score in a crucial division game.

Describe the meltdown that would be experienced here, and then the chastisement that would be brought on any possible defenders of Roy. (Not now obviously, I mean like back when alot of people still thought he was a good safety.)

I wonder if any Commanders fans are even crucifying Horton/Landry for that one.

Damn... in that first Video RWR is looking UP at Bennett when talking to him....

I had to check the height of these too... I didnt know that Bennett was 6'6"(on some sites 6'7") and RWR is about 6'3"


Wow!

:laugh2:

This play just goes to show you how crucial QB-Receiver timing is and how fast the players really are. I think Landry makes the play if he didn't bite that tiniest little bit on Romos pump fake.

What a great throw and great route by Bennett.
