This sounds WAY OFF base, maybe it’s not.
Could you elaborate please?

While a great player aside from all the offsides, Bennett also had a double standard thing going on. There was the incident where Bennett was accused of tossing aside a wheelchair-bound female security guard and injuring her, I think at the Atlanta-NE Super Bowl, basically an assault, refused to show whatever pass he had (or didn't have), and generally acted very entitled and dismissive and above the law. He was charged with felony-level assault. Bennett, because of his rich athlete privilege, was able to hire good attorneys and beat the charge. Everyday people who can't afford real attorneys would have wound up in jail over an incident like that. Link below has one account of it. I think there are some videos out there showing parts of the altercation, but maybe didn't show it clearly enough, which was apparently how his lawyers got him off. I think the charge and the hassle and process of responding to it and the bad PR was probably enough punishment, but for Bennett, perhaps getting away with this crap would just embolden him more.

My view on Bennett is "Good Riddance" as a declining player and a person and a disruption to team chemistry. The bit about jumping offsides in SB49 and elminating the opportunity for a safety was just another untimely bonehead play.

Or maybe he didn't do it & they made it all up? Just going by facts, its complete BS on everything that happened. Bennett knocked over powered wheel chair that weighed 800lb with a woman on it. You know how hard that would be to do that unintentionally? The "cop" recognize Bennett but didn't do anything to him or arrested him on site...They waited almost 3 months to finally charge him...Last but not least charges were drop because of insufficient evidence.
He kneels & he is black so that makes him guilty...

Michael Bennett was a locker room cancer and continues to be EVERYWHERE he plays. This is just another of his childish tirades. His disruptions are all over his repertoire, he's an idiot.

jammerhawk":1houufky said:He was great player for us when he was here, but he started getting a tad weird and believing his press clippings before he was traded away for next to nothing. In short he was identified as a problem player who was not all in with the team culture of Pete.
I loved him when he was here, thought his very first stay here was ridiculously cut short by the dummy Russell who kept two kickers at the loss of a promising UDFA pass rusher, and am now glad he plays elsewhere. He always tied the snap count and still takes a large number of bad penalties for encroachment or offsides. The team got rid of Bennett at the right time as his play has tailed off to not very effective since he left.
How many penalties has he had, though? That was a real problem while he was a Seahawk. I just checked nflpenalties.com, he had only five last year with the Eagles, he's got six this year thus far with Dallas, but he had 12 with the Seahawks in 2017. Ugh, lol.rcaido":12ea7p5k said:Not really, he played pretty awesome w/ the Eagles last season. This year he has double the sacks of our leading Seahawks w/ very limited snaps & not even a starter for majority of the season. Guy was & still is disruptive beast on defense. Dallas got him for a 7th rounder & only paying him 2million. Would have made the Seahawks front line defense right now w/ Clowney stupid scary.
