Seahawks DE: Mark Sanchez Trying To Impersonate Good QB

The NFL‘s Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett on Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez: “Sanchez is trying to impersonate a good quarterback.”

The Seattle Seahawks decimated the Philadelphia Eagles on the field on Sunday, and it continued in the locker room after the game was over. Defensive end Michael Bennett didn’t pull any punches when he was asked what he saw in Eagle’s quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Bennett was clearly joking, but the point remains valid. Sanchez did not look like a quality NFL quarterback on Sunday.

Sanchez threw for only 96 yards in Sunday’s game against the Seahawks. He and the Eagles offense has no answer to Seattle’s defense in a game that wasn’t nearly as close as the score suggests.

Speaking with CBS Sports, Bennett was asked what he saw in Mark Sanchez during the game on Sunday. “The same thing everyone else saw, not much,” was Bennett’s reply.

Mark Sanchez had been a nice story this season. After bottoming out with the New York Jets a year ago, he came to Philadelphia as a backup in head coach Chip Kelly’s offense. When Sanchez finally got a chance to play, he excelled, and looked like a new quarterback.

Then he ran into a Seattle defense that hasn’t given up 200-yards passing in a game in three weeks. The Seahawks made Sanchez look ordinary, or as Bennett said, like someone “trying to impersonate a good quarterback.”
