One of the highlights of this season of "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Dallas Cowboys" was the education of Martellus Bennett.
The rookie tight end was constantly being schooled on the finer points of the game by his position coach, John Garrett.
And it always seemed like Bennett was ignoring or arguing with Garrett.
The biggest point of emphasis for Garrett was that Bennett should carry the ball "high and tight" and across his chest.
In fact, in the final episode Bennett revealed that everywhere he goes in Dallas, fans who have been watching the show would remind him of Garrett's advice. Even in the grocery store a fan reminded him to hold it high and tight.
And when Bennett caught a short pass he turned into a 20-yard gain in the Monday Night game against the Eagles, Mike Tirico said Bennett was "holding it high and tight across his chest."
