Otah cleared to play this Sunday

Am I the only one that thinks Bell stole the starting job from Otah?

FWIW Jax has a solid D this year.

Not as good as GB mind you.

jacksonville's defense is severely underrated.

they are as good, or better than green bay's.

probably. Otah is too good of a run blocker. Bell had a nice outing but he ain't as good as Otah when Otah is ready to play

[Lout]

If Otah goes down, I feel comfortable with Bell now. Granted, he is not as good as Otah, but I still feel comfortable.

Otah saw how good Bell played and knew if he didnt get back on the field this would be his last year in Carolina.

not sure Cam has inspired the D......I definately think he has inspired some on offense.

D has given up huge plays every week that make it tough to win.

Our O gave away 4 turn overs that resulted in 12 points last week. Our O failed to capitalize on 4 red zone opportunities leaving 19 points on the field.

Our D managed to keep our opponents to 3 points per turn over. Our O made it much tougher for us to win.

Our O is our best weapon and worst enemy at the moment. Enough with the D bashing.

doubt that had anything to do with it.

very tough in today's NFL if you suffer a legit concussion to get back on the field the next week.

Otah wants to play.

Good news indeed.

I second this.. Thought he did a good job even though I could hardly see from my seat, it was good to see Cam having enough time to realize Matthews was coming, thanks to Bell. I see leave the kid in and let Otah "heal" some more. If he's going to keep getting hurt and is going to become winded so fast he has to split time with someone, leave Bell in and let him play the entire game.

We need to stop the run. Mathis is still a good CB and will probably do a good job on Smith. The TEs will light up this game.

[SauceBoss]

IMO Otah needs to be cut if he can't stay healthy this year.

If Bell proves himself. Try to restructure Otahs contract for less money before cutting him. He'd make a solid back-up;). It doesn't seem like he's durable enough to be an every down player.

Bell also completely whiffed on blocks and let Matthews come in unblocked.

Otah hate parade needs to end. Yes, it does suck he hasn't played as much as we would like. But Bell is nowhere near the RT Otah is.

Bell is getting undeserved praise in this thread. Bell did OK in the regard that you didn't hear his name mentioned, but he missed a lot of blocks (some of which can be attributed to the 3-4 defense employed by GB).
