Martellus Bennett-TE- Cowboys May. 28 - 2:04 pm et


Martellus Bennett envisions a bigger role for himself in the Cowboys' offense this season.

The team's website notes that "Cowboys quarterbacks seem to be looking for (Bennett) more often than they did last season." Bennett flashed enormous upside with four TDs and a 14.2 YPC average on 20 receptions as a rookie. He's Jason Witten's backup, but will be a fantasy starter if Witten goes down.

Bennett Sees Bigger Role In Offense

It's hard to make generalizations based on a couple OTA practices in May, but one thing that has stood out so far is that Cowboys quarterbacks seem to be looking for second-year tight end Martellus Bennett more often than they did last season.

Bennett says he's been doing more than tweeting this off-season. He's stronger and more physical, he says, and he believes he'll have a more important role in 2009 than he did as a rookie.

"I've been working on my game a whole lot, so I think they're going to use me that much more," Bennett said. "There's definitely a lot more stuff on the offense (for me).

"Just learning the basics of the offense last year was the main thing I had to do. I think they feel like I've been in it a year so they can do more with me this year. Some of it was in last year, but not as much as there is now. It's just I think they think I'm a better player than I was last year, smarter and all that."

The Cowboys also appeared to be splitting their tight ends out wide more often the last time the media was allowed to watch practice. On one occasion Bennett was paired up against cornerback Terence Newman, who had to climb up the 6-7 tight end's back to cause an incompletion. In a game situation, it likely would have been pass interference.

Rather than go shopping for a big wide receiver like Matt Jones, maybe the Cowboys could use Bennett more often on alley oops in the red zone. The matchup problems he creates with his size could be a huge help for Jason Garrett an Co.

yesss

yesss

one thing for sure is he needs the ball in his hands a couple of times a game.

When he caught the ball with some room to run last year he looked great.

that, and splitting the TEs out wide is going to open up some running room

the delayed draw is going to be killer

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

As much as Bennett is a goofball, he has the potential to be a real weapon for us. Every time he got the ball in his hands last year he was making things happen.

5-7 reps a game would be nice and splitting RW to one corner and Marty B to the other corner of the endzone all day, who could stop that?

Championship!!!:starspin

Remember when Fasano was drafted and we were fed all of that Two TE set garbage?

Yeah, its going to be a reality now. Only with Marty B and Witten, watch out. Matchup nightmares galore with what we're able to do pre-snap.

Sprinkle in Mad Dash and Tash, and I like where our offense is headed.
