You changed things - you said "all" the first time. I still can't see how you can now rationally say he has put in just as much work as any other defensive player when he has been held out from contact? And just yesterday he was held out of 11-on-11 drills. How many of those has he been held out of? So again, your statement is not accurate - even though it's been softened from "all" to "as much work."

You, like the rest of us, don't have a clue here - and it's obvious.

How can you possibly say I don't have a clue? I watched the guy practice live, and I've been to camp the last 4 years. Do you actually know how much they hit in TC?? Very little. I guess if you want to really be picky, Bell hasn't put in ALL the work because he didn't participate in the MAYBE 2 practices that were totally live. Other than that, he didn't miss a practice.

Bell looked healthy in my eyes. Obviously there is a problem with the shoulder. Could be cautionary, could be more serious then expected. All I am saying is that from watching him live, he looked as healthy as an other LB, and has put in the work this summer.
