From this article.

 

I guess I can see the striking resemblance:

they're big.  they're ugly.  do the names really matter?

Too hot...not touching this one.

Dave Newton comes from the NASCAR beat. It's not like he is used to covering a very diverse sport like the NFL. All NASCAR drivers look alike to me.

I know a bunch of people are going to give bell crap in this thread, but it's encouraging to see him and chandler are shedding weight to try and gain agility. I had no idea he was up near 345 last year, that would explain how sluggish he looked at times. 

 

Hopefully one or both step up and take care of our tackle spots for years to come.

Yep, sluggish feet and his knack for turning his hips was Bell's weakness the last 3 years. Losing 15-20 lbs should improve his feet which will also improve his ability to stay square to the LOS on his kick slides.

This just gave me an idea for a movie poster.

They're big. They're ugly. They're....

He said his goal was to lose 30 by training camp. 

 

That'd be pretty damn impressive.

Am I the only one impressed that those guys aren't even mildly aware that a 6'5" 250lb man is hanging on their shoulders?

We all make mistakes.

Current caption:

Byron Bell, left, has slimmed down this offseason and believes he can play left tackle, protecting the blind side of quarterback Cam Newton, center.

Nothing wrong there. Was it different earlier?

To be fair, while David Newton wrote the article, he probably didn't write the caption. He may not even have chosen the picture. As a beat writer, he probably just wrote the story, handed it in and was done with it. Writers don't generally do web layout stuff. Plus considering he's met and talked to bell, Chandler and Wharton on more than one occasion, it's unlikely he'd make that mistake.

Chances are whatever web guy added the pic and caption made the error. Someone caught it and now it's fixed.

It did earlier in the day.  He changed it once he realized it, I'm sure.
