There are certain coaches players just seem to click with, and it appears that for Martellus Bennett, the one here in New England seems to understand him pretty well.<\/p>\n

Bennett had a roller coaster of a week last week, with the Packers opting to part ways with him after learning about a torn rotator cuff tear in his shoulder.\u00a0 After the tight end informing them he intended to have surgery, that would have meant Bennett was headed to injured reserve and the Packers claimed Bennett didn’t properly disclose the injury, leading to an ugly exchange<\/strong><\/a> between the two sides and the end of Bennett’s run in Green Bay.<\/p>\n

After the Packers waived him, he told his agent to let other teams know not to claim him because he was opting for surgery.\u00a0 However, to his surprise, one did, with Bill Belichick calling him to let him know the Patriots had claimed him.\u00a0 Bennett said he was shocked when he heard the news.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about, \u2018Could you play?\u2019 It\u2019s, \u2018Should you play?\u2019 It was one of those things,\u201d Bennett told the Boston Herald<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cRight now, I\u2019m just like, (expletive) it. At first, I told my agent to tell no teams to claim me because I was still trying to get the surgery. So when Bill (Belichick) called and said they claimed me, I was like, \u2018No (expletive) way.\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n

All of a sudden, everything changed.\u00a0 Bennett told the Herald that he got a text from Tom Brady encouraging him to come back and suit back up for his old team and that appeared to be enough.\u00a0 One plane right later, he was back in the same building where he won a championship a season earlier.\u00a0 For most players, arriving on a Friday would have been far too soon to get acclimated to a new system.\u00a0 For Bennett, despite being tired, Belichick had plenty of confidence in him and seemed to believe it wouldn’t be an issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cBill was like, \u2018Can you practice?\u2019?\u201d Bennett told the Herald<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cI was like, \u2018Bill, I just want to go to sleep right now.\u2019 (Belichick said), \u2018Oh, it\u2019s a Friday. Just go out and get some snaps.\u2019 I think he knows how to talk to me, too, so I\u2019m like, \u2018All right, I\u2019ll go out there.\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n

We saw the results Sunday night.\u00a0 Bennett went out against the Broncos and played well, appearing during New England’s second offensive series where he jump-started the offense with a 27-yard reception.\u00a0 That catch got the Patriots past midfield and ultimately lead to a field goal, which put them up 17-6 at the time.\u00a0 Overall, Bennett finished with 3 catches for 38 yards while playing just 7 snaps.<\/p>\n

Not a bad start for a player who didn’t have much time to prepare.\u00a0 But having played in this system all last season, he knew the terminology and obviously already had chemistry with Brady, not to mention the confidence from a coach who knew what he was capable of.<\/p>\n

It was a crazy week, but after one game Bennett should be feeling pretty good about his decision.\u00a0 With seven regular season games left to play and the future suddenly looking pretty bright for this football team, Bennett may now find himself in position to make another championship run and hopefully add another ring to take with him in the event he opts to retire after the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
