I am still sticking with the fact that Lacy had a blue chip oline while Bell was a one man gang.
Dont get me wrong...Lacy looks like one tough mutha to take down regardless of running lanes.
Lacy tends to run Hot & cold. And has always had major conditioning Issues. As for Bell, word is right now that he is about a 75 % chance of being a scratch again tonight. Dwyer looks to get the Nod, followed by Batch.

I agree... but Lacy did great things behind that OL. I really want to see what Bell can do. One of the reasons they said Lacy fell was due to injury. Funny how he is on the field and our guy is 50/50 before the 2nd preseason game.
I know Bell was a one man wrecking crew but that could also mean the wheels could fall off much earlier than expected. Freaking Big 10 RB's... I really want Bell to prove me wrong because I have a bad feeling right now.
Bell did great things behind a crap OL who were often bullied by better Big Ten teams. Bell is the best talent at RB to come out of the Big Ten in many years. As for the mileage issue I will agree with you Felt...it has been my only concern. The only thing Bell doesn't have is elite speed (but he isn't slow), and he has ALOT of mileage for a young guy. With that said, he isn't known for an injury history...and has proven to be durable.

If he doesn't play tonight he will be labeled injury prone and soft.

Batch is a bum. A couple years ago, the board was blowing up about this kids Baron Batch. Well after watching him, I'm baffled as to why. He does seem like a great person, but he can't play NFL football. NO WAY he sticks.

Agreed. But, we should know better than to look at labels.
