More people need to see this. This is exactly what I'm talking about with coaching. Bell has natural athletic ability and he is here in his 3rd season making drive ending mistakes on something that is easily easily correctable with coaches who actually are teachers.

I love Byron Bell as a human being, but I cannot support him starting at RT when I regularly see him getting pushed into Cam or forcing Cam to scramble because he got beat to the edge.

Scouting reports early on had Bell slated as a LT-LG. I would have cut myself if we got rid of Gross and had Bell take over the left side.

Bell was laying carpet for a reason when we picked him up.

Nice kid. Good story. He doesn't have the athletic ability to play T in the NFL. Too easy to beat him on the outside. He would be an okay backup....he isn't a starter. Too easy to pick on his weakness if plays every down

I disagree.  I think he has the athletic ability to play.. It's mental/technique part.  Sometimes you see him and he looks like a wall.  Other times he is like a turn style.

My grandma could blow by Bell with an outside pass rush. Her chair has some get and go.

he can't hang with any decent speed rusher on the outside. So for me, that isn't athletic enough for T.

I think with good coaching he makes a better G even though to date he hasn't been good at G

with proper coaching he may actually be better suited for the left side. i understand 90% of Huddle masses think "oh gee we just stick our guhd tackle on left side and baaahd one on not left side" but truthfully Bell's overall skillset may be better suited for the left side. he has absolutely no future as a guard.

Yeah that one play sure tells me all I need to know. Lets forget the other 25.

 

Networks like ESPN and NFLN perpetuate this kind of poo.  They use one or two play clips all the time to define a player or a team.  Dumbing down of 'Murica I'm telling you.  Everything is Twitter-ized.

Not to mention Bell didn't kick-slide, he back pedaled which is a huge no-no.  Lance would have pointed this out if he knew anything about o-line play.

 

Um, listen to 0:40-0:58. He mentions Bell could have done a kick-slide, but a lot of coaches don't like that because it makes tackles more susceptible to inside moves.

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
