Can someone explain to me why the Bucs gave up TWO future draft picks to Kansas City to bring in Michael Bennett? I understand, Williams and Pittman go down with injuries, the club is up against the trade deadline, not knowing where the next feature back could come from and decisions must be made.
I was very happy when the trade was completed to bring Bennett to the Bucs. I believed this would be the prototypical back Gruden would LOVE.
I also have to say, I'm from Ft Myers and have followed E. Grahams career since he was in high school. I'm one of the largest EG supporters you'll ever find.
This afternoon on a local radio station, Gruden was asked about whether or not Bennett would get more carries this coming week, and the answer was Michael was progressing and in regards to increased carries, Gruden said he (mike) could receive more carries and that he (gruden) could also win the lottery this week.
I really believe that Mike Bennett can be a major part of this team. His speed is something which Gruden has to love. I understand he wasn't in camp from the get go, but since Michael Bennett was signed, how many times has Lionel Gates and Kenneth Darby been signed to the squad? Then never appear in a game? Why give up 2 draft picks for a player which has world class speed and never use him while the team simply keeps signing and releasing Lionel Gates and Kenneth Darby? Combined, Darby and Gates have been on and off the active roster, and the practice roster? Bennett doesn't know the offense? Gimme a break. You think Gates or Darby understand the offense? These two dont know if they'll be walking into Ray Jay on the weekend or Best Buy inorder to pay the bills for the week.
Jon, Bennett has been with the team since October. We have a window here in the next three weeks, and let's see what he has to offer.
