Pkillebr Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Why isn't Michael Bennet getting at least half, if not most of the carries for Tampa Bay? Yes, Earnest Graham is obviously talented but he's so hit or miss and the Bucs that started this year so strong are one loss away from a negative record. What they're doing now is not working so they need to change it. Even when Graham did well they lost. He hasn't gotten in the endzone since he started. Give Bennett 10-12 carries against Arizona. If he doesn't deliver, fine, go back to Graham. But in the last 2 games, he's delivered strong but only got limited carries. OK, just had to get that out.

I'm surprised he hasn't pulled a hamstring already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I like Bennett actually. I think hes better than Graham hands down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pkillebr Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 He is only good if he gets very limited carries. I'm surprised he hasn't pulled a hamstring already. Maybe, maybe not. This is a new team, new coach, new O-line. So far, he's done well with limited carries. Give him a few more, not a ton, just a few and see what happens. Worst case, you lose a few downs. Best case, he keeps doing well and he ends up averaging 5-5.5 per carry. Like I said, they've lost 3 of their last 4 while winning 3 of the first 4. See what happens if you change it up a little and get back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Bennett can't carry the load, give him more than 8-10 carries a game and he'll get hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Clearly you are a disgruntled Bennett owner. Bennett has never been able to carry the load and stay healthy. He wasn't TB's first choice, he was their last ... in the words of TB's organization they wanted a more phyiscal RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalking_Eagle Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Bennett has been on the team what two weeks. Give him sometime to work in there with the team. By years end he will be the #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Yes, Earnest Graham is obviously talented I'm not sure that Graham is all that talented, but after watching him tear up the Lions I decided to give Cedric Benson another start last week against the kitties instead of using Chatman. Apparently Cedric Benson is no Earnest Graham. Bennet will get more work as Graham is nothing special, unfortunately Pittman is coming back.

bushwacked Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 give him more than 8-10 carries a game and he'll get hurt. Along with virtually every other RB in the NFL this year. I still think he can perform well in a RBBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pkillebr Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 you must be a bennet owner? Yes, I own Bennett but that's not my concern. Even if he produces a little I don't care. I've got AP and Larry Johnson and now Ryan Grant that will all take his place even if he gets the starting job. My irritation is as a person who has lived in Tampa Bay all my life.

efranklin Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Bennet is garbage he hasn't done anything since his rookie season. Mark my word he won't do anything this year. He is a wasted roster spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a wasted roster spot. Not saying he will be a stud. I'm just a disgruntled TB fan and hoping for anything to get this season back on track before NO dominates our division.

Pkillebr Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 I'm afraid its too late for that. Yeah, but at least we're in the NFC so at 4-4 we're well on our way for a wild card spot =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I am not a Bennett owner but I do like the way he runs when he is healthy. Obviously when he gets hurt he is worthless but you cant predict injury. People dont go on the field and say ok I am going to rip my hammy this week. I truly feel Bennett > Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rodgers Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Yeah, but at least we're in the NFC so at 4-4 we're well on our way for a wild card spot =P Just wait for Pitt to come back and we should be ok. He might even be back this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
