Jason Witten Might Not be The Best Mentor
August 27, 2008 by Mike
If anyone of you have seen HBO’s “Hard Knocks”you have been witness to the laziness and pure sense of entitlement of Dallas Cowboys rookie Tight End Martellus Bennett. The show has shown the back and forth between Bennett and tight ends coach John Garrett, who just happens to be the brother of offensive coordinator and future Cowboys Head Coach Jason Garrett. Now comes word from the Dallas Morning News that Jason Witten isn’t a fan of the Cowboys 2nd Round pick either:
Rookie TE Martellus Bennett recalls a rather harsh response after asking Jason Witten for help early in training camp: “I’m not going to be [beep] doing this all the [beep] time. You’ve got to know what the [beep] to do.”
“He says it all the time: ‘Jason doesn’t like me,’” Witten said of Bennett. “It’s not that I don’t like him. It’s just that I’m letting him figure it out. He’s got to figure it out first, and once he does, obviously that’s where I come along.
Bennett has been the target of a bunch of criticism during his first NFL preseason. He was a somewhat controversial pick, since nobody considered tight end a need position for the Cowboys until they shipped Anthony Fasano to Miami right before the draft. And he’s a familiar face to folks in Texas after a college career at A&M that didn’t live up to the recruiting hype, at least in part because of Coach Fran’s awful passing game.
