The Patriots asked Bennett to mostly block during the opener against the Cardinals. Against Miami, Bennett was targeted early and often, posting his first 100-yard game with the team (five catches, 114 yards, 1 touchdown).
Bennett’s not a pure ‘move’ tight end — the dude can block. But when they need him too, Bennett can be a formidable weapon in the receiving game.
Halfway through the first quarter — as Jimmy Garoppolo was torching the Dolphins — there was (ill-advised) talk about trading Brady (much of it in jest). However, we learned why the Patriots are always investing in quarterbacks: It only takes one play to lose one.
