More people need to see this. This is exactly what I'm talking about with coaching. Bell has natural athletic ability and he is here in his 3rd season making drive ending mistakes on something that is easily easily correctable with coaches who actually are teachers.

I love Byron Bell as a human being, but I cannot support him starting at RT when I regularly see him getting pushed into Cam or forcing Cam to scramble because he got beat to the edge.

Scouting reports early on had Bell slated as a LT-LG. I would have cut myself if we got rid of Gross and had Bell take over the left side.

Bell was laying carpet for a reason when we picked him up.

Nice kid. Good story. He doesn't have the athletic ability to play T in the NFL. Too easy to beat him on the outside. He would be an okay backup....he isn't a starter. Too easy to pick on his weakness if plays every down

I disagree.  I think he has the athletic ability to play.. It's mental/technique part.  Sometimes you see him and he looks like a wall.  Other times he is like a turn style.

My grandma could blow by Bell with an outside pass rush. Her chair has some get and go.

he can't hang with any decent speed rusher on the outside. So for me, that isn't athletic enough for T.

I think with good coaching he makes a better G even though to date he hasn't been good at G

with proper coaching he may actually be better suited for the left side. i understand 90% of Huddle masses think "oh gee we just stick our guhd tackle on left side and baaahd one on not left side" but truthfully Bell's overall skillset may be better suited for the left side. he has absolutely no future as a guard.

Yeah that one play sure tells me all I need to know. Lets forget the other 25.

 

Networks like ESPN and NFLN perpetuate this kind of poo.  They use one or two play clips all the time to define a player or a team.  Dumbing down of 'Murica I'm telling you.  Everything is Twitter-ized.

Not to mention Bell didn't kick-slide, he back pedaled which is a huge no-no.  Lance would have pointed this out if he knew anything about o-line play.

 

Um, listen to 0:40-0:58. He mentions Bell could have done a kick-slide, but a lot of coaches don't like that because it makes tackles more susceptible to inside moves.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
