    I will say it though it won't be popular

    Bell dances too much. I know his patience creates a lot. But, he misses opportunities and seams a lot as well. The run blocking is actually pretty good and relatively consistent. If your RB is indecisive then running out the clock is not the time for him. Blount should have been the back on the final drive. That is just poor coaching.

    Now, I like Bell. I think he does many things very well. But, he needs to take the open 4-5 yard run more often. He is NOT Barry Sanders.
    Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

    It's not Bell, he makes holes there when there is no hole. Yesterday the Bucs was selling out against the run and that's why I don't think Haley should be criticised because you seen more play action. Dickey in the other hand shows nothing new.

      I think that will come, but the guys touting him recently are right...he has such great burt and he can turn on a dime so well that he lulls a defender to sleep even when they are in his gaps.

      That last play call is the one sticking in your head, and it was a very bad designed run for that situation

        2 days ago everyone was praising his patience. Today he dances too much. Its amazing how perception changes from week to week.

            I like his patience. He makes a lot out of nothing a good bit of the time. In a couple of instances yesterday I thought it was great that he waited that extra second to allow the blocks to develop. I was thinking, Mendenhall would have sprinted straight into the tackle's a$$ on that play for no gain.

              OMG, that's not his proper name, and you have now embarrassed this entire web site all over the world, forever! How dare you not only refer to him using his precisely spelled, proper name! That's super disrespectful!

                Well, a dumb 15 yard penalty on a 16 yard gain wasn't helpful, but I agree with your overall point.

                    No way to know what he said unless someone on the field fesses up. I'm guessing that was called for something he said, not what he did.

                      Think there's any chance he used the N word and that was the call. The league specifically stated they'd be cracking down on that being used.

                        Well.... This getting up from the ground after making a 1st down and doing that hand gesture in front of the defense showing he made a 1st down HAS TO STOP. If I were the HC, I wouldn't put up with it and would've stopped it long ago....Same goes for the AB crap in the EZ and his 1st down hand gestures.. Play ball and get back to the huddle... that's what you are paid to do.

                            no it doesn't... Brown has been doing it for years without a problem.

                            Bell apparently said something which drew a flag.
