Bennett Uses The Big Stage To Explain His Departure

Bennett made the right move for him and now he is reaping the rewards. At a pre-Super Bowl media session:(on his mindset when he returned to Seattle for the 2013 season) “I just wanted to do the same thing I’ve always done. I wanted to improve each year and just get a chance to play on a really good team and be seen. Playing in Tampa, you’re not really on TV a lot, but, in Seattle, you’re on TV so much that people see you make those plays. (They are the) same plays that you made on the other team, but people see you make them.”(on coming to Seattle after Tampa Bay did not offer a contract) “It was frustrating, because as a player you go out there and put everything on the line for the organization, and when it’s time to get your just due and you don’t get it, you feel a certain type of way. But, at the same time, you have to put everything in God’s hands and God had a plan for me and the plan worked out good.in the year he cited Schiano: think he just wants to flex his power,” Bennett told NFL.com last fall, offering a strong opinion why Schiano’s Bucs were winless at that point. (Schiano has since been fired and replaced by Lovie Smith.) “He has small (man’s) syndrome. I still talk to guys who are there, and trust me, there’s not much respect for him in that locker room.“He’s trying to be Belichick,” Bennett continued. “Yeah, some people think Belichick’s an (expletive), but he’s a legend. When this guy acts that way, it’s a whole different deal.third article, same interview:"I don't think about the money because it's not in my account," he said laughing. "You do want long-term deals, but I don't think about it as much as some people think I think about it. I think about winning the game. I'm taking it one game at a time, taking care of this moment and playing for this team.That article's take on the cool market for Bennett back then:He was coming off a nine-sack season in year four with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but turned heads around the league when he settled quickly for a below-market offer from Seattle. Ten days after his contract was announced, it was revealed that Bennett had a torn rotator cuff. Teams had been scared off about what it might to do his production and therefore an emerging talent — who can play inside and out on the defensive line — became a bargain.Hence, why the Seahawks were slow to work Bennett in. Hence, why they wish they had done it soonerstuff
