A new perspective on Byron Bell

[Captain Morgan]

I'm really pulling for and very proud of Bell, but it was the Dolphins.

[Lumps]

New perspective for some.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Otah didn't play like a rookie O-lineman, nor did Maurkice Pouncey, Joe Thomas or Ryan Clady.

Bell being an UDFA, played as good as any Rookie player youd think should play like. Had a better season last year than a Tyron Smith or Gabe Carimi. And looked better than Jonathan Martin, a 2012 high prospect and 2nd Rounder.

LOL he did not play better than Tyron smith, and carimi only played a couple games before hitting IR

[DawgzLife]

Actually he did get a penalty when he was in with the 2nd unit.

How does anyone know what player is charged with what? These refs call "Holding on 'White' or Tackle or Guard, etc., etc. Not only the Panthers games, but it's freaking ridiculous how some of them designate who committed the penalty.

I'm not for getting the regular refs back or not, just saying.

They specifically called Bell for the false start, by number.

[Kurb]

I wish Wake had played. Also Dansby was out last night.

Fins were just rushing 4 as well.

lets Averaging the 2 games and the starters have just been "ok"

I was being facieous, not disputing your point. My comment was more about these replacement refs & how they call things. The Panthers game have actually been called better than most.

One thing noteworthy about Bell so far is that he has done a much better job of keeping his pads level and his block within his frame. Very nice improvement over the offseason.

In fact, Hangartner seemed to be the weakest link out there yesterday.

Although the OL played well, I have to agree that Hangartner appears to be the weak link. He got run over on the pass play to Olsen when Newton got tagged by Soliali (sp?). The RG spot will definitely need to be addressed in the near future. It also appears that overall our OL is not getting enough push on the LOS but they did a great job on the goal line TD by Stewart.

Yeah that's an insane statement.

I'd love to have Smith on our O-line, he's light years ahead of Bell.

I think Campbell, with a little more seasoning, will do well at LT when Gross steps down (or is moved to RT). Bell is solid, but he'll always be fighting to keep his starting job in the NFL.

Campbell is not our long-term LT option he's depth. That's it. We'll likely draft one in the next two drafts.

Why can't Campbell be our LT of the future? Tons of potential seems to be finally coming together here...he gets to learn behind gross for a few more years

[mav1234]

ehh we shouldn't be measuring our 2nd year starters against rookies on other teams IMO.

Still wish they would experiment win Bell at RG and Campbell at RT.
