DMN Cowlishaw Blog: Pressure on Cowboys' Bennett tonight

[adbutcher]

Well, I'm not going to go too far out on a limb defending the guy, but he does have physical talent and players with bigger attitude problems have been successful in the league.

I'll just hope he eventually develops and that when he does, he plays with the same chip on his shoulder and that what's a knock on him now eventually becomes an asset.

What do you supposed Browns fan thought of Kellen Winslow II his first camp?

winslow has always been coachable and eager to learn, yet cocky at the same time.

bennett is cocky, but hasn't shown the drive to improve.

Really? Thats not what has been said outside of Hard Knocks and thats not what I've seen. I've seen improvement in his play.

and you buy that? who cares when this occurred? after practice, before practice, during practice. he was a dick. i'm not condemning him as a player, but there's no way around it, at this point he's a royal ******. i hope he matures, but i'm not holding my breath for it.

Didn't say I bought it. Just saying what he said. If I do believe it, it's not any different than others "buying" it the other way.

Just saying, the kid is young, don't read into a TV show, which is to sell a product. Maybe the lights go on next week, maybe in a year. I have not seen the clip of it, so I will not comment on it. Let's say I am skeptical of most of the media dribble.

The kid looked bad. That being said, the jury is still out and reserving judgement is probably a good idea. His on the field perfomance is the most important thing. We'll see.

[Verdict]

Yup ..... an immature kid that has been thrust in an environment where he is being watched every week by millions of viewers.

Says nothing about what his character will be like when he becomes a man.

In my experience you can tell what kind of mature person someone will be like by the time they are a young adult (high school). If a person is mature in high school, that usually carries over into their adult life, and vice versa. Occasionally the opposite is true, but not very often.

Mature in high school is an oxymoron.

Funny, but not necessarily accurate. Ha ha.

Or necessarily inaccurate... I don't know which high school you went to but the majority of my peers were very immature and that didn't change much when I went to college.
