Sitting out of camp had no effect on Bell's performance.

Maybe it's just me, does he not have near the same burst of quickness that he had a year ago?
Looking at his workout videos in the offseason, he clearly gained a little weight.
That being said, I think we say goodbye to him after this season IMO.

I pointed this out last week. He isn't as quick or fast.

Sitting him isn't the ideal. Trading him for a 1st and 3rd round pick to a very bad team is best. Not likely to happen either.

The better comment would stop being a racist, but I strongly believe it is too late for that one.

Wasn't he the one banned for a while?

Shame they let him back.
 
Possible to think he is in "self preservation" mode to get to the free agent market, where he knows he can get a bigger piece of the pie than here as long as AB is in town.

Bell was supposed to be a "generational back" who doesn't need the offensive line to open up gaping holes for him. Remember? Now he looks alot like Eric Pegram.

I don't think Pegram got 12.1 million a season.

When he's doing good he doesn't need the OLine, when he's not doing so well, it's because of the OLine.

Uh...?

A) Bell has come down with "Don't give a ****-itis"

B) Bell is a giant wuss who doesnt' want to get hurt so he's running scared."

C) Bell is injured and can't run right.

D) Other teams watched film on Bell and now they just wait for him to "run into them."

E) Bell is still sore from the "butt hurt".

He's certainly ineffective enough to justify giving Connor 10-12 carries a game to see if its the line or the back....

Agreed I wanna see him get more carries, but not as an experiment

I just think he runs differently. More deliberate, aggressive. Get the defense used to waiting for Bell to finish hopping around, then hit them with Conner who will barrel right thru the line. Don't let them get accustomed to anything, keep them on their toes

so, is that on Bell, our OL or our D?

Either? Both? What does it matter? The “best” and highest paid running back in the NFL is stinking it up behind an “all-star” O-line. Should be able to compensate and adjust. Excuses! We know what they are.

The Bears used two guys, one really banged up, and ran all over us. Running backs are a dime a dozen and have a shelf life of about 3 years. He’s damaged goods and his head is in the stratosphere as to how good he really is.
