No, I don't know why nor do I guy why. I think he lost the benefit of the doubt at least to me.

i'd better send him a sympathy card. he's gonna be reeling after this.

We all know Bennett has some issues.....and will hopefully mature this season...

But because media regurgitates what some have said doesnt mean its all doom and gloom.

We heard the same thing about Owens and Parcells.....we heard about Owens and all his drops...etc.

Bennett has to grow up.......we all know that.....but can we please give him a little time? maybe a year or so....

btw....Jerry picked the best player available....his scouts had him rated that way...I heard what our scouts said about having to put a foot on his neck but I didnt hear the scout tell Jerry not to draft him.....

the IGS refuses to give anyone time. they merely react to today as if today is all there is.

till tomorrow. then they do it again.

The NFL is a hard game to play and do well in. You have to be able to put 100% into it all the time during the season. If you are not you will fail. Bennett has yet to show that he realizes that. He has yet to show that he is trying to get with the program. The Polyanna's are the ones that have to show evidence that he is getting it- and so far there is very little of that.

and we know this after 1 preseason game and him jogging onto the field.

many people would call that inconclusive and give the guy time.

You also forgot one important ingredient besides giving the mystical 100%, talent.

If a kid has talent he has a chance to be successful in the NFL, the last I checked he ain't no Amendola but the kid has talent.

Time will tell whether he matures or not, I'm betting he will adding another stud TE to our roster. I'm just wondering why many here are begrudging him using everything from his high school presser to the way he takes a knee in practice.:rolleyes:

they see. they judge. they end the story with their own ending.

it's more fun than actually watching what happens.

Ain't it typical.

I am just glad that they are seldom correct. :D

It is surprising (and disappointing) just how little some of the Ticket guys (esp. Dan) know about the OL.
I would say that's typical of the Ticket crew, but the defenders would jump me with knives, pitchforks, and Arbitron data...

So I won't say it. :)

Maybe because he mopes around at practice, has never done it on the NFL level and because he's not nearly as important to the success of the 2008 Dallas Cowboys.


It is possible that Jenkins could be starting before Pacman!

Mopes around at practice? Why? Because he "jogged slowly" out to the practice field? Gimme a break. What is he supposed to do, do a full out 100M dash to the huddle?! :rolleyes:

this board's response to Bennett is bordering on sheer lunacy.

the greatest part of this is going to be when they eat crow after he develops into a top flight TE. Book it.

Did you hear the one about the Aggie who went to the NFL and thought he could miss practice, be late to practice, exhibited negative body language and couldn't wait to see his dogs and house?
