(Thanks to Theebs for the video on this.)
For the last two seasons I have been trying to like Martellus Bennett as a fun loving kid who sometimes sticks his foot in his mouth and doesn't realize ALL of his actions whether on or off the field reflect on the Cowboys organization.
I think it's reasonable to say I go back and forth with him. For a while I like him and he's just silly. Other times he will Tweet something that is so ignorant or tasteless that it makes me wish I didn't see it.
Recently the latter happened. So before I even saw this interview with him I was about ready for the Cowboys to trade him away for some draft value and not think twice about it.
Now after seeing this interview I am all for the trade and I hope it gets done ASAP...

So one of the top three offenses in the league should start doing things differently so you can get yours?
Not many teams have two Pro Bowl caliber Tight Ends? Jason Witten is a proven commodity Marty B, you are not even close to that and the sooner you realize this and start focusing on football more then you can even begin talking like this.
Work hard all week and then you need the QB to throw you a bone on Sunday? As if we all haven't heard the stories or seen the video of Romo and Witten having to direct you on where to line up or what route you were supposed to have run.
There is even video of Bobby Carpenter making fun of you on a Special Teams play because of the two options to block, left or right, you didn't know your assignment.
Let's be real here. You dropped a bunch of wide open passes last season. You ran the wrong route against the Panthers (you were supposed to fade back to the end line/back pylon and instead you posted up two yards into the End Zone). Your owner has even made recent negative comments about your professionalism.
There was a moment for me last summer when I realized this kid may not have enough passion for the game to ever reach his potential. As a blogger I was closely following all the media things he was doing last summer. UStream. He was using this service while at training camp. At one point during one the sessions he revealed that he didn't know the Cowboys were in the NFC East. Do we need to know much more than that?
Bottom line. Martellus Bennett doesn't get it. He didn't get it at Texas A & M and the Cowboys were hoping they could mold him into a player who was all about the game of football. You can blame his age on some things, but that's just an excuse. After two years of being a professional athlete he's still all about potential.
And now he's ready to start talking publicly about the coaches doing some things differently in the offense so he has more opportunities. Between him and Roy Williams needing some much extra help maybe the Cowboys should hire two offensive coordinators and run two different offenses on Sunday. They can alternate every other series. Maybe Kitna can QB the one where Marty B and Roy are the guys getting the football all the time. LOL.
Just another day as we wait for the 2010 NFL Draft.
