Bennett seems to really have a burr under the saddle about this. I understand sticking up for your QB, etc., but I think that chasing after the punter because he knocked into a linebacker was a little excessive...although, I guess that you do have to establish parameters and boundaries for such position players like the punters as they could literally get wiped out nearly every time they are on the field in a blocking scenario.
Hekker probably should have just done what he was supposed to do and let Avril be, but Avril took care of his own shit. Bennett didn't need to jump up and play big brother to Avril after the fact, especially to a punter whose already gone to the fetal position.
All in all, no harm done and will probably stand as an example to punters across the league.
