Jet_Engine1 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Doesn't work at all with this terrible O line. Just needs to explode to wherever the sliver of a hole is. By the time hes picking where to try and run, hes getting overwhelmed. Not a good fit right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saquan Barkley's running style doesnt work with the Giants terrible Oline as well. RB is the position most dependent on the Oline. This is why it's stupid to pay a RB that money with no Oline. Im not saying that Bell isnt worth it, but unless you're Barry Sanders, you need atleast a semi-competent Oline in order to display your ability. The Jets need to fix the offensive line and this Offense will be drastically different. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this guy the 49ers signed from the Falcons. Coleman. Supposedly, that is who Gase really wanted, Bell runs best behind zone blocking. Gase wanted to run power blocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funaz Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Yeah I agree, but RB performance is 95% based on the oline anyway. You can pick up a guy off the street and do well at rb if you have an oline. It's why you don't draft a rb during the important rounds of the draft 1-3Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 This is already being discussed in the game thread, and honestly IMO an irrelevant complaint. Guys, we don't need to keep working so hard to line-item the problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonaldJet Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I think he’s hurt, but it doesn’t matter behind this oline. Look at Barkley on the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saquon Barkley's running style doesn't work behind a bad oline either. A bad oline with a young QB is never a good thing for a RB whether it's Barkley or Bell.

DJF71 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Maybe thats why Gase didn't want him. Or maybe Gase sucks. Or maybe the OL sucks. Or maybe its all 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the line is bad but he looks so slow. Combine that with his deliberate style and you can see why he’s averaging 3.1 YPC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 My friend/mentor always said to me "don't chase money, let money chase you." No one ever gave Bell this advice.

Rb Josh Jacobs has a good chance to be OROY , and been a big part of the Raiders success this year. That’s running behind an offense line that has started three different RT’s , three different Rg’s, three different Lg’s, and two different Centers.

T0mShane Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Averaged 4.0 ypc in 2017 with the Steelers behind an OL that fielded three pro bowl players, including at center and guard. Should have been a red flag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really no point in investing in a RB. There are plenty of RBs out there who can succeed if the OL opens holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
