A new perspective on Byron Bell

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

I think it is almost too late for this. Bell has too much invested in RT. Although I do think if Campbell could overtake Bell for RT, it could be possible to move Bell at that time. But I would think that would be something you would do in the offseason where you would have more teaching time. Not sure I even understand what I am trying to say.

Hangman is the weak link as of now. Take that as I believe Bell has been very solid so far.

Upgrade RG, sure, I can see that. I just believe that Bell is the best RT on the team. As of now. Until that changes, fixing RG will have to be done some other way. Not that RG needs fixing.

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.

Smith was one of the best tackles and Bell one of the worst. They weren't even remotely close.

I think it is too early to make any prognostications on Bell this season. So far he hasn't had to face anyone with any talent in the first two games. Let's see how he does in the regular season first. Last year, he was statistically one of the worst at his position. Let's not turn it in to revisionist history and say he was good last year just because he was undrafted. Frankly, the fact that he is undrafted means nothing.

Otah was a first round RT which is pretty rare.Between Bell and Campbell we should be OK if Bell can reduce the number of penalties. If not he is a liability. He had so much ask of him being a undrafted FA.

Sunday against the Jets should be our first real look at Bell to see if he has improved

These first couple games he just looks more steady and has better footwork...didn't look bad against Houston and they have two good edge rushers

Our offense didn't do anything really....hard to chalk that one up as much of anything. OL in general couldn't handle the pressure and the offense couldn't move. Too small a sample.
