Carmen and Jurko had Martellus Bennett on yesterday. I wasn't really a fan of Bennett when he was on the Bears, and was even less of a fan post-Bears, but he was a very interesting guest. You could tell he was intelligent...far superior to the idiots interviewing him. Here were some nuggets from Martellus:
*He never really liked football, found many of the coaches unable to explain concepts, but enjoyed playing in the games.
*He was asked if he was still in touch with old teammates, he said "no". He said the only thing he had in common with his teammates was playing football.
*He liked Jay Cutler as a person, because Cutler was very smart and not stereotypical football player, but also implied that he sucked as a QB and wasn't smart at football. He compared Rodgers to Cutler, saying that he liked Rodgers as well because he was also smart.
*He had a lot to say about playing for the Patriots. When asked if Belichick controlled everything, Bennett said the opposite was true. Belichick put faith in his players and let them kind of run things. He was very complimentary to Gronk, saying they would change routes with each other if it meant a completed pass. Seemed like to be a very team-oriented approach.
