I knew it was just a matter of time before an Aggie-hater would comment on MBennett. To your points:

1. You are right as the coaching was terrible (Francione is an idiot) and he did not play nearly as much as he should have. The running game focus did not help either. But when he did play, he had a knack for catching balls in traffic and using his size to position himself. At times, he was unstoppable across the middle. He was actually known more for his blocking, but obviously, you did not see all the games so you would not know this;
2. Big Mouth and Ego? You must have him mixed up with someone else – he is one of the best locker room guys we had. He is a lot of fun and got along with everyone. Out of all the players, he was one of the few to sign autographs following the games and even posed with my dad for photo. Very similar personality to Big Red Bryant – a very big heart. You should be ashamed of yourself for posting such misinformation on this blog;
3. You are right about his speed as he is not a straight line speedster, but has great footwork and side to side agility developed in his basketball career – very smooth hips for a big guy too.

Again, if you want to participate in the Cowboy community, please don’t publish this sort of uninformed perspective – doesn’t help anyone.

I second your post, saratoga racing. No offense to altercall, but he must have Martellus mixed up with somebody else or he had never watched an Aggie game this year. As a long time Aggie follower, I followed them closely this year, and let me just say we got a total steal – a young Antonio Gates. From watching him this year, he was one of the most athletic tide-ends I’ve seen in a while. And I have no idea where you got that about his character issues, but I know for sure he was one of the leaders taking part in charity events as an Aggie. If it wasn’t for the terrible coaching, he would have easily been a first round pick. Again, do not post things that are from such a misinformed perspective – nothing personal. We have a big year ahead of us guys!

you guys would let the Aggies win a game once in awhile – best of luck to you guys this year. And, by the way, you do have the better looking women out your way too.

Jones over Mendenhall was a mistake, you dont pass up a lead, everydown back for a complementory back, Jerry Jones GM double talk means, this is his pick, went against everyone in the draft room.

Jenkins was an absolute steal, he’s a top notch corner, could not believe he made it to the mid twenties.

Bennett pick was a project, you dont draft projects in the second round when you have definite needs you could of filled.
Projects are for fourth roundsor later.

Choice is a pick dallas wouldn’t have needed to make this early if Mendenhall was selected in the first round, another complementory back who could start in a pinch, this pick clearly indicates Jones isn’t a lead back.

Scandrick could be a steal of this draft for the cowboys, a player rated late second to early third, you trade down numerous times stockpiling picks this year and next year, trade up a few giving up your seventh round picks to get him, great value pick…

Walden is a outside linebacker/DE, a reach, probably could of gotten as a UFA player, dont be surprised to see this kid converted to a fullback,ala Hoyte. tweener type player..

The trades for picks next year while moving down and still getting good value players for the most part and really setting up next years draft is a big plus, the cowboys will be bigtime players next year in the draft, I can see dallas moving up next year early for a change in the draft with the picks they aquired.

A few needs this team still needs, field stretching speed receiver, Nose tackle, Fullback, Guard/center and a backup young Qb to groom.

A solid C+, but if you add the picks for next year B+

The selection of the best TE in this draft class was a great pick considering we traded away Fasano. We have more depth at WR than any position on the team and I didn’t see any big time WRs in this class.

woulda have been an household name and 1st round pick in the draft if he woulda gone to texas. his coaches were terrible, they stunted his development and what he has accomplished is in spite of anything A&M ever did regarding him.

Him and Ryan Perriloux are prime examples of what happens when you let emotion get in the way or logical reasoning on deciding a college. i hope they enjoy the 3 year old mercedes they both have b/c they have cost themselves 10’s of millions of dollars.
