Byron Bell will start at RT Sunday

Saw this posted about Bell, man I hope he gets the job, F^*&()K ottaleeda

Might be interesting to see how Bell performs. He's an undrafted rookie with a pretty inspiring story. I read the article they had on carolina growl and it was pretty good.

His younger adopted brother died when Bell's house back home burned down while Bell was at college. He has dedicated his football career to his little brother and says when he's protecting the QB on the field, he's protecting is little brother from the burning house.

Kind of reminds me of Michael Oher's story from the blindside.

Time to ship Otah to Denver and get us an early-round RT.

I'm a bit unsure about Clay Matthews, but which side does he line up in?

Whichever side Byron Bell is lined up on...

Lolis this guy trying to blue the lack of running game on Otah? Did you forget they were blitzing the whole game? N

I'm truly looking forward to see how Bell plays. His story is sad and I hope the best for him come Sunday. If bell comes out and helps get the running game started and protect Cam Good and help get a win. Then you might see bell in the starting role for the rest of the season. So in other words this could be Otah job to lose this Sunday depending on how Bell plays and if we win. Wishful thinking and all. But anything can happen. Good luck to Bell on Sunday. He will need it big time. :cheers2:

Byron's going to struggle (mightily at that) my expectations for this game have lowered somewhat.

He lines up everywhere, but plays primarily on the left side of the defense...sadly it is the right side of our OL.

I actually have fairly high hopes for Bell. They played him at left tackle in college, so I think he will be more athletic than Otah. He is plenty powerful (at the collegiate level), so...we'll see. Go Bryon!

Here's a link to his highlights, that is fun to watch (quite long tho):

You never know what might happen. Remember when Brad Hoover in his first game agaist GB on a Monday night. No one was expecting Hoover to come out and put up big numbers up agaist GB that night, but he did. This will also go for Bell. Bell is kind of like Hoover was. Hoover was UDFA and came and played well agaist GB and went on the be good player for the panthers for years after. This samething could happen to Bell aswell. We want know until Sunday. All we can do is hope the best for him.

Just watched the interview with Bell on Panthers.com. I really want this guy to succeed here. Great attitude. I support Otah, but honestly, I would like to see Bell take advantage of these opportunities & make the fragile & expensive Otah expendable.

Hope he does well.

Gonna be a pretty tall order, though.

His interview on panthers.com is fun to watch....his mama is going to be at the game and was only showing up to see his new place and to visit...she had no idea he would end up starting. I hope for the best and remember that he was called upon by the line coach to share his story with the entire squad before any cuts were made....I think they have seen something special in this kid. He might not shine on Sunday, but he sure is making the most of being an UDFA. Go Byron!

They move the Claymaker around.

This is the only thing that brings up a level of concern. Now I think our O-line needed some serious improvement, but a healthy Otah would have probably been the last guy on the list to replace with a rookie.

Here's hoping Cam isn't going to be as hesitant when deciding to rush.

""A guy coming in your face, does that bother you?" - Maybe Eugene knew what he was asking Cam.;)
