Kendrell Bell

**penguinz** · 12-24-2006, 09:02 AM

Did Goonther finally figure out how to use him? He was very active in stopping hte runn last night.

Dark Horse · 12-24-2006, 10:19 AM

I think that was the first time all year I saw him chase a runner down from the opposite side of the field.

Wouldn't it be funny if he caught fire next year and started tearing up the league?

Hasn't gunther said it takes a couple of years for LB's to fully understand his scheme?

Is it the lb'ers getting used to his scheme or is it Gun getting used to lb'ers talents? Bell was a force in Pitts....

He waits until the season is over and he decides to step up his game.

Well hey, at least he did it aginst the worst O-Line and offense in the NFL.

Dark Horse · 12-24-2006, 10:45 AM

I've noticed that he is a pretty good down hill LB what he has lacked is coverage and pursuit skills. I just don't think those types of things are going to develop over night. If he can be a roll player he would be worth keeping.

**Easy 6** · 12-24-2006, 10:53 AM

Nobody was more excited to see him sign here than me, i had visions of him blasting guys outta their shoes.

Nobody has been more disappointed with his play to this point than me, watching him flail at TE's 5 yards outta reach & not coming through with all of the concussion inducers i had hoped for.

Having said that, if he can finally step up & be a sideline to sideline claymore mine in his 3rd year i will be happy to keep him. We can scheme around his lack of coverage skills to a point, if only he will be the run stuffer that he's more than capable of being.

Fox & possibly Pollard are hot on your heels Kendrell.

Step up or step aside.

Hootie · 12-24-2006, 10:54 AM

He played FANTASTIC last night...

So, for all of the millions we paid him...at least we got to see him shine for one week, against a rival!

kcxiv · 12-24-2006, 11:56 AM

I hope we keep him. WE can see he still has some game left. He's not old. I dont wanna see fox In there, He's not a blow up the fullback type player. He's the i will get ran over type player.

yeti · 12-24-2006, 10:34 PM

I wanna get excited about his play last night too but it was just one game when nothing mattered except for beating the raiders. I just don't see how this warrants anyone thinking he will play well when it matters.

yeti · 12-24-2006, 10:45 PM

that is true about bell in pitt. It sure is frustrating to see FA who have been playing well come to KC and then become average or more typically below average. How does this happen. It seems hard to believe it is due to coaching but maybe it makes all the difference.

TRR · 12-25-2006, 12:24 AM

I always thought Bell would be better in the middle. Our MLB ( Mitchell) blitzes more times than any of our OLB's. And that is what Bell does best.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am tired of watching Kawika Mitchell get manhandled by RB's and FB's every game when he's blitzing up the middle. Can he run over a RB for once?

If it were me, I would move Bell to the MLB position next season, and let Mitchell walk unless the money isn't there like he hopes.

You know, I wouldn't mind that at all. Bell is indeed out of position, he is a MLB.

Would we pick up another LB or just move Fox into the starting position?
