The last 16 games w/o Bell, they're 11-5. While we can see that they're a different offense w/o Bell, I do think they will be forced not to be so dependent on what he does, and rather what they CAN do w/other personnel.
Connor will be better than bell... bell has had a great line and run coach in front of him, ben and brown clearing the field out in front of him... receivers blocking for him... bell playing with an average passing game and offensive line would be very average. Connor has to improve and he will but plays with way more urgency than bell I see Conor’s emergence as being the good news syory for the nfl this year and lord knows nfl need guys like him to turn the negative into the positive. Go Connor gooooo steeeeeelersss!!!!
