Michael Bennett calls out Jake Matthews for his cut block
Michael Bennett called out offensive lineman Jake Matthews for an illegal cut block that happened this week. He is pissed that Jake Matthews cut him, but says he will be ready this week for the game.
“To me it’s a scary, [expletive] move. Honestly, I think if you dive at someone else’s legs, you’re a little [expletive],” Bennett said, via the Seattle Times. If you are big in the NFL, you just line up and play — why you got to cut someone on the [expletive] play? I mean, I don’t know. That [expletive] is just stupid to me. Why cut somebody when you can just line up and win? I don’t know. I don’t come off the ball jumping at offensive linemen’s legs.”
“He just dove at my knee,’’ Bennett said. “I mean, that’s the second week someone tried to take me out, man. I don’t know.”
