•Left tackle Byron Bell actually had a teammate take the blame for one of the two sacks he surrendered to defensive end Chandler Jones. On the first one, Bell was doing a nice job until running back DeAngelo Williams threw a chip block that freed Jones to get inside for the sack. As the game went on, Bell got into a rhythm and did a nice job. "I felt like I learned a lesson today," Bell said. "I can’t come out slow, I’ve got to come out fast, come out on fire. We’ve got to come out fast and come out swinging early. I feel like if we do that we’ll be fine." Bell said Williams apologized on the sideline afterwards.

I really wish the team, including coaches, would stop coddling Bell so much. He is a backup on just about every other team in the league.

 

but he's not on every other team. he's on this team...if positive motivation is what's helped him progress this far, then positive motivation is what's going to help him get to the next level.

 

the better he is, the better the team is.

Exactly. Why he gets so many opportunities and slaps on the wrist is beyond man, and we got other guys with actually talent screwing up one play and benched for the rest of games and seasons.

I am watching the game on my computer and just came across DWill chipping Jones. It doesn't even look like he made solid contact. Jones actually gets the first punch on Bell - Bell can only make contact on the outside of Jone's pads which gave him no leverage - Jones has full momentum, does a swim move and barreled towards the inside for the sack.

 

I'm not a Bell hater, but in this case DWill had nothing to do it

I saw the same play live and didn't understand it. Bell is favoring the outside rush and Deangelo is helping on the outside shoulder. Either Deangelo needed to come inside or Bell needed to. It was one of those plays that just looked like a total lack of communication.

It was a well run rush by Patriots, they did it twice. Ninkovich beats Gary Williams outside and Chandler beats Bell inside. Chandler makes the play so Bell takes the blame. Getting beat by Ninkovich is a bigger sin in my opinion. You did see Matsko coach up Bell and I don't think Chandler Jones was successful with that move the rest of the game. He did disrupt the pocket but did not make a play later on.

Vince Wilfork was working over our interior as well. You have to wonder if the coaches felt like Turner did not need that in his life.

It was a little concerning to see Bell beaten like that but I feel like it's coachable. Chandler Jones was clearly the superior athlete which is not coachable.

The problem is, it's his 4th year, he shouldn't just now be learning that he can't come out slow. He's just consistently inconsistent and probably always will be. He'll have good games and then he'll have terrible games and he'll go "oh yeah, I can't take days off in the NFL. That's been his first few years and he still has to have bad games to re-focus him.

There are a lot of o-linemen who can have good games, what separates the quality from the chaff is consistency.

      What's your confidence level in Canales?

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      Some of you who are not sold on Canales are insane. His main purpose was to turn around Bryce Young’s career and he did that. Of all of the teams in the top 10 of the NFL draft, we were the team that was consistently showing the most fight week in and week out. Our players never quit on the season. The offense which he is responsible for took a huge step forward compared to last year, despite the lack of skill talent  that we have. It was our defense that was a mess. That’s one of my critiques on Canales. He should’ve gotten rid of Evero and hired his own DC that shares the same vision. But as a whole, I can’t see how people are not pleased with what Canales did with this team. I’d give him an 9/10

      QB School: Bryce Young vs Falcons

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      One of the first thoughts after the game yesterday was that JT was going to jump all over it. He's been more favorable about BY from the beginning, and so yesterday must've felt like Christmas.

      Mock Draft from the 33rd Team

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Maybe, but they were always going to be an impossible team to accurately mocked right now. They have an absurd amount of cap room, what they need right now will not be what they need come draft day.  They can make multiple big splash signings and even make trades for players who need new contracts and their teams don't want to give it to them. OT and WR might be their two biggest needs right now, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to think they could go into the draft needing neither of them.  I think a LT will be their top FA priority, also think they're going to make a big offer to Higgins, and I could see them being a team in the running to trade for someone like DK Metcalf as they need a WR like him and they have the cap space to give him a big new contract.
