fringe Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 He'd be a great fit on the Giants. Tall, over the middle, route running possesion receiver. Drew Bennett, UFA, Tennessee Titans Bennett might not be considered a special wide receiver in NFL circles, but the UCLA product has great size and good hands as a second receiving option. An uncanny connection with quarterback Billy Volek in 2004 helped Bennett to 1,247 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. With Vince Young being named the starter, production was up and down for Bennett, but he managed to reach triple-digit receiving yards in three different games, and totaled 737 yards with three scores. The Titans are closer to competing than previously though, it appears, but Bennett may look for work in a system focused more on the pass and with a chance to seriously compete sooner. Several teams could use Bennett to compliment a smaller and faster receiver, and if used properly, Bennett can put up strong numbers once again. discuss....

gateb Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 That's be a great pick up. He would be a graet third WR and would allow us to be more flexible with Moss. More importantly, it will allow us to get rid of Carter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubeck Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 When Toomer went down it exposed one GLARING weakness in our receiving corp, a total lack of possession receivers outside of Toomer. We need Bennett or at least a player like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were going into the draft he would be gone long before then. But he isn't going to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need Bennett or at least a player like him. Even when Plax missed a game, we played poorly. Against the Texans, one of the worst defenses in the NFL, Eli had a very mediocre game. If either Amani or Plax goes down, Eli's production is hurt. That's why we need another reliable target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K3VIN Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 didn't he sign with the cubs to play baseball? he still draft eligible. kinda draft him like drew Henson. if we draft him how long do we have with him. he still can switch back and ply football.

NeMesiS Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 he still draft eligible. kinda draft him like drew Henson. if we draft him how long do we have with him. he still can switch back and ply football. We can only keep him for one year. And seeing that we are in no way, sharpe or form going to get the kinda of money he got from the cubs from us. Yeah, he's not putting on a football uniform anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't see his first k/o return after Morton got hurt? and ahhhh yeah Morton had all the "Moves" <_> Moss was filling in he didn't have time to prepare for this position I leave the non-prep fault on the coaches but give him time he should be ok.

gateb Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Moss is nothing as a KR. I don't know why we put him back there. If we wanted to get the ball to him so badly, we should've just put him in more offensive plays. The coaches should've realized that he was not a good fit returning kicks. Maybe RW would've worked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 He would be a decent fit. But he is too good to be a No 3. If we do take him, Toomer will have to be displaced if he doesnt retire. Neither Toomer or Bennett would agree to No 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I guess a couple of teams, Baltimore and Kansas City being a couple of them, would gladly have him as their No 1 WR. In anycase, if we do pick him up, he'd certainly be an upgrade over Toomer. I love Amani, but face it, he has lost a step. Bennett is workhorse and if we do pick him up, he would be an ideal complement to Plax and Sinorice (if this bum ever does actually show up) and considering his work ethics, he might be able to supplant Plax (maybe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
