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.

I'd actually argue that most top five picks do get handed all-star line mates. Teams realize that's where they expect them to play so they put them in those positions so they can grow into them. Other later picks have to earn more but usually top five picks are given a bit more room right off the bat.
