Mitchell to play inside Linebacker instead of Bell???

CanadianChief · 04-27-2005, 08:51 PM

I was reading on CBS Sportsline that the KC Star reports that Mitchell will be playing inside LB and Bell will be moved outside. I'm thinking that maybe we could get Boomer in there instead of Mitchell along with Bell and Johnson on either side.

I hope that Barber is given another chance as well. I think that Bell and Johnson would really improve his play. If we release him on June 1st he'll only go back to Philly and make the Pro Bowl this year anyways. Just my 2 cents.

I remember reading some quotes from coaches and front office people after the Bell signing that, unfortunately, led me to believe that Mitchell would get the first shot to play inside. I really hope that Kawika improves by leaps and bounds, or that the coaches look at other linebacker line-up options.

the board already has Boomer penciled in as our starting MLB

Bitch when Mitchell starts and sucks. Until then,

I think the odds are more in favor of Barber coming back healthy than Ka-whiff-a turning into a legit starting MLB...

And I like Bell a whole lot better in the middle than the outside...

People wanting a guy who's never played an NFL game to start at MLB scare me.

Why would you want Bell outside if they have Johnson, Barber, and Fujita out there? I give mad props to Fujita, cause he's one of the only defenders who can tackle. taking him out of our lineup bothers me.

One concern I have is that Barber is recovering from an ACL injury. Most young players come back from those injuries only after two years of intensive rehab...and aren't even the same player as before.

Barber is not exactly young...and I'm afraid that his recovery will take some time, will slow him down. I'm not counting on him coming back to play outside linebacker, so I'm okay with Bell being on the outside (just so long as Mitchell has stepped up his play at middle linebacker, and EARNS his way to the starting roster).

I don't know what you're talking about. You'll have to excuse me I'm pretty dumb about some stuff. Sorry.

Not a preferable situation.

Barber has suffered a career ending type injury and Kawika sucks more than Paris Hilton after 4 days without coke...

I don't think the D coaches know who is going to be where in that LB crew yet. From the time we signed Bell, it has sounded like the coaching staff is waiting to see who will be healthy and try to fit players in wherever they will fit best.
