I don't know, I also like to watch games and not just look at advanced stats. In the games I have watched, he isn't effective at all.

I don't really get it, what made him effective this past series is being physically engaged. Both of his goals were not necessarily pretty plays. He was engaged physically.. you don't need depth, or better linemates, or to play a position to hit and engage in the regular season.

Once again, his production going down every year is a big concern. Instead of blaming many different coaches for randomly "hating" Bennett.. why not consider the fact that Bennett couldn't make his linemates better and earn a bigger shot?

Most players don't just get handed all star linemates. They need to work their way up and that is something Bennett has not been able to do yet.
