•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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
