Bell stinks so probably but those tackle stats are misleading. Fox didn't seem very good to me in yesterdays game.

they are playing two different positions, technically. Besides, just because he's made more tackles, doesn't mean the offense isn't having success against him. Hell, they may be game-planning to his side of the field and as a result, he gets more opportunities to tackle.

In practice Fox sucks, he doesnt tackle very well either...
I think Fox will get better, but for now Bell is the better option. I think the reason we do not see Bell often in the game is because the ball usually moves to DJ's side. These D stats can be misleading...

The Bell bashing is ridiculous-he was ****ing injured last year, but don't let the truth get in the way of a good witch hunt. He also has knocked some players dead in their tracks this year, but again ignore that, as well.

Perfect example of how misleading stats can be.
Fox is around the ball a lot, but his tackling sucks. I'm not sure he's a huge upgrade over Bell. Maybe he deserves a look, but I've seen very little to convince me so far.

For getting 8 tackles I hardly even noticed he played yesterday. Him and Bell will probably rotate a lot.

I still remember that late missed tackle on 3rd down against Miami. I like Fox but I also think there's a good reason that the coaches aren't starting him over Bell.

Never thought I'd be saying this, but Bell has looked better to me than Fox.

Bell has played well lately. I'm still not convinced he's athletic enough to be a Cover 2 LB, but his lack of stats has more to do with his assigments than his play. Fox gets around a lot of plays, but it's pretty evident that his tackling is sub-par. He's going to need to add strength or improve technique before I start clamoring for him to get on the field.

Wasn't it floated around by the coaching staff that they might try Bell as a rush end on obvious passing downs? I think I've yet to see that.
