Martellus Bennett has new opportunity with Giants
Published: Jul 01, 2012 at 07:30 AM
As we count down the days to training camp, Around the League will examine one player from every team set for a breakout campaign in 2012. We've wrapped up the AFC and are moving through the NFC. Next up, the New York Giants.
Moving out of Jason Witten's shadow could result in big season for Martellus Bennett
Though he was behind Witten on the Dallas Cowboys' depth chart over the past four seasons, playing time was never an issue for Martellus Bennett. A 2008 second-round pick out of Texas A&M, Bennett played in nearly 40 percent of the Cowboys' snaps as a rookie and nearly half the team's snaps in 2009. According to official playing-time documents, Bennett logged 1,778 snaps in his 60-game career with the Cowboys, but was mostly an afterthought in the offense.
As we noted last week, Bennett was targeted just 130 times with the Cowboys, or 7.3 percent of the time he was on the field. The surprising thing is Bennett took advantage of his limited opportunities, catching 85 passes (good for a 65 percent catch rate) for 846 yards with four touchdowns in 60 games.
With the Giants losing both Travis Beckum and Jake Ballard to serious knee injuries in Super Bowl XLV (and Ballard lost to the New England Patriots in an ill-advised attempt to sneak him onto injured reserve), the only other tight end with any experience on the Giants' roster is Bear Pascoe, who is more of a blocker with just 22 career receptions. Bennett signed a one-year, $1.8 million contract in March, but according to a source with knowledge of the contract, he can earn an additional $700,000 in incentives tied to playing time, receptions and touchdowns.
The biggest question seems to be about whether or not Bennett, after bulking up to 291 pounds, is simply too big to break out. Bennett went shirtless during an interview during the OTAs to show that he's not fat, just a physical freak. The Giants do not appear to be overly concerned with Bennett's mass, and he could be too big a target for Eli Manning to ignore.

It's been about 3 years since we last heard from Canadian thrash band Mortillery. "Shapeshifter", which comes out at the end of May on Napalm Records, is another excellent continuation of the band's sound. As with the previous record, one of the biggest draws to Mortillery is lead singer Cara McCutchen. Her voice is one of the rare few in thrash that can easily straddle the line between impressive virtuosity, and throat-ripping screams. She tends to lean more towards the aggressive side of things, but every once in a while, there's a major indication that she's much more technically skilled than the average thrash vocalist.
The above description is also consistent with the music: Mortillery delivers hard-hitting thrash quite often, but they're willing to get more melodic at times to keep things interesting (the opening to "Age of Stone" being one great example). The band also isn't afraid to incorporate some punkier thrash riffs into their sound. They have a unique sound in that the playing is extremely tight, but it also feels like it's about to fly off the hook at any second. Calling "Shapeshifter" a wild album isn't quite strong enough to get the feeling across that Mortillery presents. The constant screaming, combined with solos that erupt from seemingly nowhere result in a very out of control record (in a good way). The band tends to keep the tempos high, avoiding a feeling of sluggishness. Even when things occasionally get a bit more mid-paced, the music still feels energetic and exciting.
As much as Mortillery does everything right on "Shapeshifter", the songwriting didn't quite grab me the way it did on the last record. There are a lot of good moments here, but the hooks don't feel as distinctive or as memorable. Typically, this would be the kiss of death for a thrash band, but Mortillery is such a unique entity in thrash that this album is enjoyable even if you can't remember how every song goes. Fortunately, the production further enhances the quality of this record, as every instrument is about clear as it could possibly be, without sounding sterile and overproduced. From an execution standpoint, it's impossible to criticize "Shapeshifter". Everything on this record works well, and though the songwriting may feel a tad bit weaker than in the past, it doesn't mean that you should skip this album. In fact, it's a refreshing change of pace from a lot of other thrash out right now, and for that reason, it is an essential purchase.

Shareholders in McCormick & Company Inc. received a scent as well as dollar figures in the company's 1984 annual report recently mailed to them. Following a tradition started in 1977, McCormick of Hunt Valley, Md., scented its report with fragrance. This year's was allspice.
Also included with this year's report were three recipes for blending herbs and spices for low-sodium diets.
Allspice is the dried, unripe berry of the Pimenta dioica tree, which is a native of the West Indies and Latin America. Known as "pimento" outside the United States, the name allspice comes from its flavor, resembling a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
The scent is applied to the printed report in a varnish-like substance that is rolled over the pages after the ink dries. Curry powder, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg have been used in previous years.
The annual report showed the company had a net income in 1984 of $54.6 million compared to $40 million in 1983. Net sales were $788 million in 1984 compared to $743 million.
