jgb 27,744 Posted October 30, 2020 Well to be fair Gase did say from the beginning Bell wouldn't work in his system! And he damn well was determined to prove it. Gase would rather lose his way than win someone else's way. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't imagine anyone will be surprised when Bell shows juice and spark in KC -- even those who want to believe the guy is "washed up." 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His longest run here was 19 yards, for f*ck's sake. We'll see soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Showing up fat definitely on him. Bell needs space to operate. Andy Reid will get him going, I believe. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgb 27,744 Posted October 30, 2020 Just now, slimjasi said: But isn't it telling that Bell is suddenly a 3rd down back/role player on a stacked team, now? It feels like his number 1 running back days are over. Listen, I hope he tears it up. FYI, he was one of my favorite players in the league before he came here. I just don't want people to pretend that he showed any kind of promise here and wasn't overweight last year. He'd be a 1 on many teams but like you say, KC is stacked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gase makes it clear that the media isn't going to manipulate him. He's tough as nails. They're figuring that out now with the revoking of Manish and the firing of Lucas. They'll find other, softer targets to pick on instead. It's how it goes with bullies. SAR I You are a specimen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
