Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett didn't get to take part in most of the second half of Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons, and he wasn't happy about it.

Bennett left the game early in the third quarter after a questionable unpenalized cut block from Falcons tackle Jake Matthews injured his knee. After the game, head coach Pete Carroll said Bennett should be alright, but that didn't calm the veteran defender down.

"HonestIy, I think if you have to dive at someone else's leg, you are a little bitch," Bennett told Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times about the block he defined as "a scary bitch ass move."

"If you are big in the NFL, you just line up and play - why you got to cut someone on the (expletive) play? I mean, I don’t know. That (expletive) is just stupid to me. Why cut somebody when you can just line up and win? I don’t know. I don’t come off the ball jumping at offensive linemen’s legs. … I think it’s just a bitch-ass move, personally."
