The main reason he doesn't "fear" Bell coming back is because he knows he isn't by this game.
Real easy to talk smack when you are 100% sure a player won't be playing.
I don't agree or disagree on whether we are better or worse with Bell, just saying.

Force feeding Bell bogged down the productivity evidenced in the YPC and YPC he had at times. I'm curious to see how it works for a whole season.

Maybe Bell isn't coming back because he can't pass an NFL drug test and knows he's looking at an 8 game suspension the next time it happens. That would really hurt his free agent status in 2019? Just throwing it out there. I think Bell is DONE as a Steeler unless Conner goes down with an injury which would really suck.
I agree with the Ravens DC, Conner is a better player right now and has outshined Bell's work in 2017.

I think the end of "force feeding/over-using" Bell is a legit point to why we could be better without him.
With Tomlin's propensity to over-use Bell, it would make it harder to defend us if Cool Shades isn't allowed to be such a simpleton. We become less predictable.
But we still can't expect to rush 1st and 2nd down and be in 3rd and long and win this game though. We simply can't be predictable if we want to win.
Maybe they have better stats because they don’t have Haley anymore? Just saying

No doubt, that's a possibility.

My question and concern regarding Conner is his durability. He clearly does better than Bell in terms of YPC both carries and catches, but can he make it through the season?
That's the million dollar question.

Uh, no. Why in the hell would a Raven’s coach be compelled to talk smack on Bell? He’s complementing Conner.

He hasn’t come back because the Steelers informed him they would not pay him for two weeks following his return. He’s being spiteful in response to his perceived spitefulness on behalf of the Steelers. He’d make the same amount of money being suspended.
Again, force feeding Bell took the ball out of the best player on the team, Ben. That's why the numbers are like that, no Bell means the offense runs through Ben like it should.

What's funny is he's missed enough games over the last five years that it's actually a valid stat.
****** A coach. How many times do I have to force-feed you the information?:
Bell's next ******* drug suspension is 4 ******* games!!!!
Haley beat the Ravens as the O coordinator for the Browns.
Since he is now unemployed I wonder if he could use some temporary work. Just for one game in Baltimore.

Cope, YOU see how font helps in communicating strongly !!!!!! Good job my young Padawan.................................

Conner is great in the passing game and more of a big play threat than bell. More of an oversized seatback like sparkles, Cohen, ekeler. He is so much better than I expected.
That said
He moves the chains with big plays. But he is not a good chain mover when he needs to get the tough yards against a d playing the run. (With Bell they would never try back to back q.b sneak plays)
In short yardage against stacked boxes he isn't in the same universe as Bell.
Overall James has been unbelievable this year and a touchdown machine. But he has yet to prove himself against a solid defense, or in a playoff game environment, where leveon really shines.
I think our offense is Much improved in the red zone without Haley. I think With the new offensive coordinator Bell is even better.
Conner needs to work on his fumbling, and needs to show up against the better defenses/teams.
