•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.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
