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.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
