Is Le’Veon Bell hinting at leaving Pittsburgh?

We can get to or win a SB without Bell. We cannot win or get to a SB with the current defense. We saw how that played out already, scoring 42 and still losing.

Bingo! And their best defensive player may never play again. This defense is the weak link. Not a single one of those 6 Lombardi trophies was won with a mediocre defense. The Steelers will never be the Rams for a season. Work on the D. Fix that soft *** zone garbage that scrub no name qbs have career days passing on. That middle of the field has been a playground for other teams for far far too long.

THAT and the super awful 2DL set, WTF ? If thaT weak *** middle zone **** show failure this year then I say it's high time to get a completely new DC from another completely out of our franchise total stranger type DC in there. Back to topic, If it were possible to retain BELL and score the two major FA positions we need then all the more power. I, as many here have said, don't see the $$$$$ available for both. We already witnessed how far we got with BELL and **** defense so now it might be time to see how far we can get with a better defense and an invisible, as in gone, BELL. Sorry

Decent running game + better defense > Great running game + sucky defense

We didn't have a great running game, Bell averaged 4 ypc, which is very low for him and top rbs, his long run was only 27 yards. Bettis career has a Steeler, he never had a long run that low

I don't see Bell staying for anything less than absurd money. I'll take a lesser RB and much better defense anyway and twice on Sunday. For all of the offensive talent they had last year. They still failed in epic fashion because of the defense. It's high time they get back to playing great defense.

I would have already changed the DC and the head coach needs to keep his hands off the defense as well. It's horrific They are terrible at drafting defensive players too. I'm not sure what the deal is with hitting homeruns on offense,but screwing the pooch on defense when it comes to the draft.

27 frigging yards!. It's because teams are on to his wait 6 seconds to find a hole and go crap. Converge to the ball and wait. You will then have a guy who has no momentum going and will be much easier to bring down.
 
Would it be worth it to sign Dion Lewis to 3years, 18m with about 10m guaranteed and just let Bell go(**** himself)?

Not only was 27 his longest it was his only run for more than 20. Teams are figuring out his style and of he loses any bit of burst he will be well below average. He is not worth any where near what he wants

Another thing is when has bell come up in the clutch for us and won a game? He is not like AB who makes insane catches / plays when the game is on the line. Even JuJu really came through in the clutch several times. Bell just kinda goes about grinding out 3-4 yrd carries.

We need defensive backs that can cover or tackle without giving up so many third and longs. Yes Bell is needed but the defense is our sore spot and the offense had to come back in to many games last year to have the record we did. My worry with Bell is third and short or red zone play.

That's just it, DEFENSES have caught up to this wait game of the RB. You can see it easily with in the game. 4.0 is respectable but it's NOT blow your socks off near double pay even when you add in the receptions VS what you lose by paying 1 for the price of two. Another team may pay his price but I hope the STEELERS keep it reasonable and TEAM first as not be in cap hell and short players because of it.

Oh great pouncey is "helping" in the contact talks.

maurkicepouncey@leveonbell*bruhda if u not paid before free agency hits I’ll call Coach T Mr. Rooney & Colbert and personal tell them it can’t be this hard to pay the best RB in the league what he deserves!!!*#StairWayTo7��
 
I don't think defenses have figured out Bell at all. His not getting 20 yard runs is his style. I watch him play an entire game, and at teh end, he has 125yds. I'm like, how the **** does this guy constantly break 100 while never breaking a big run. All the other great runners in the league NEED a big rip to break the century mark in a game. It's really a unique situation. He falls forward, and extends runs with his lateral quickness. He's really unique. Almost Sweetness-like, but Payton could break long runs as well.

the Rams? actually, when they won a superbowl and went to another, their defense wasn't half-bad.
