[Logical]

He won't have played in 4 preseason games. Yep we lost the preseason folks it is over.

Ahh nothing really. Though I did go to a bar and got into a very heated argument with a couple of 40 year old women. :p

You need to be worried then. I guarantee he won't play this Saturday.

[CrazyHorse]

We should all be very worried. :shake:

Play what....golf?

[petegz28]

Yes since the game is Friday he won't be playing Saturday. But he won't play Friday either.

[htismaqe]

He won't have played in 4 preseason games. Yep we lost the preseason folks it is over.

Yet another sign of the Apocalypse.

[Gaz]

I will be worried if he does not play against the Jets.

xoxo~
Gaz
Copasetic until then.

[htismaqe]

First of all, I'm with Gaz. If he doesn't play 9/11, then I'll be concerned. Not until then.

But nothing can be known from the 4th preseason game.

Even if Bell had played last Saturday, he likely wouldn't play against the Rams, just like Green, Roaf, and the rest. It's the final preseason game.

DV said he expects the starters to get 20-25 snaps in the St. Louis game FWIW.

[RealSNR]

Well, we have to respect what Bell wants. Until he's 100% phyiscally and mentally he won't play :rolleyes:

[htismaqe]

DV said he expects the starters to get 20-25 snaps in the St. Louis game FWIW.

Trent Green was supposed to play the entire first half last weekend. Things happen.

That being said, my point is that Game 4 is the least meaningful game in a meaningless preseason.

Except for guys fighting for their pro careers

Up to 25 of those guys (depending on NFLE exceptions) have already been cut prior to Game 4, so even in that case, it holds less importance.

I agree. Unless you haven't taken 1 snap in the pre-season.

[htismaqe]

I agree. Unless you haven't taken 1 snap in the pre-season.

ESPECIALLY if you haven't taken 1 snap in the preseason.

If he's already missed the games that include some inkling of an actual gameplan, there's NO REASON for him to play in Game 4. No reason at all.

No contact in practice. No contact in pre-season. I guess the whole "football shape" thing is over-rated.

Actualyl Vermeil said they would keep him out there witht he 2nd teamers to get some snaps in. So obviously the coaches feel there is value to getting in some snaps. But WTF do they know?

[carlos3652]

I hope all the haters are here when Bell tears Chad a new one on 9/11, but I wont be worried until he is placed on the IR or PUP this year, if he can participate in 8 games I will be over joyed... We know we were getting damaged goods... so lets save him for the most important games...

I've heard many coaches, including Al Saunders, say that "football shape" is overrated.

These guys train year-round now. They're ready to go at a moment's notice. See Tony Gonzales.

Vermeil said he would play last week. But WTF do they know?

So that wasn't Gonzo catching the touchdown??? WOW! If you are referring to the week before I would say a broken finger consitutes an injury worth sitting out a game. Especially when you played in the game before that.

[carlos3652]

Like all of them.

When was Preseason important?

[ptlyon]

When was Preseason important?

Sorry, I thought you were referring to keeping him out of some games during the regular season also.

If you meant just the preseason games, then I agree.

[TEX]

When was Preseason important?

Well, it should be kind of important for a new player, who hasn't played football in a year, to get used to a new defensive scheme, teamate tendencies, and contact... :hmmm:

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Cue that 80s song but change the last word!!!....

Wanna bet?

I'm in as well. I'll be willing to bet Bell plays Friday.

WE'RE HEADED FOR VENUS!

[jspchief]

Personally, I think Bell missing these games does matter. He needs the gametime experience just like every other player in the NFL.

It doesn't mean he sucks or will suck. But I do think it means he'll be learning from his mistakes in games that matter, instead of learning in games that don't.

Obviously, coaches all over the NFL think that even veteran stars need some pre-season game time experience. I don't know why the homers here can't at least recognize that he's missing out on valueable snaps.

If he's injured, there's nothing that can be done about it. But that doesn't mean it doesn't matter.

[petegz28]

Yeah the same Gozo that played the entire yeat prior? Oh yea him!

[petegz28]

Wanna bet?

I wouldn't bet. They might MAKE him play. Then again they said he would play 2 minutes before the game Saturday and he played bench warmer is all.

I believe practice time means more than Preseason games. Bell has gotten quite a bit of practice time in with the other 2 LB's, and the D Line. If he wasn't practicing, and wasn't playing, then I would be worried. However last week, he went through a full week of practice, and even contributed in contact drills.

That's more important to me than Preseason. I could care less if he ever plays in a Preseason game.

[TRR]

Who said he would play Saturday. The only thing I heard from anyone before the game was DV, and he said they'll probably wait another week, but that Bell is as close to ready as possible.

[htismaqe]

Of course, that has nothing to do with it, and you know it.

[petegz28]

Holthus said it right before the game started.

[jspchief]

Of course, that has nothing to do with it, and you know it.I think Bell's lay-off is an undeniable piece of the equation.

He has seen barely any game speed contact in well over a year now. I'd love to think that doesn't matter to the real pros, but the actions of a hell of a lot of NFL coaches that are considerably smarter than me make me think otherwise.

If it truly doesn't matter if these guys get pre-season playing time, how do you explain every other established player in the league participating in pre-season games?

[petegz28]

Of course, that has nothing to do with it, and you know it.


No not a thing! I mean it doesn't matter that he had spent the prior few years playin and playing in the system.

8 months without playing and then playing in the same system

Compared to

18 months without playing and playing in a new system with new personel.


NOPE! No difference! :banghead:

It's not that it doesn't matter. It's just not absolutely necessary. Of course, it's desired, if it's possible, to get a guy on the field whenever -- OTA's, preseason, regular season. But if he can't go, missing the preseason isn't nearly the deal that some are making it out to be.

8 years? Try again. Vermeil and this offense arrived in the spring of 2001. Gonzo got his contract after his first season under Vermeil.

And I'm sure I don't need to point out the difference between being a WR/TE in a scheme such as Saunders' vs. being someone who's sole purpose in life is to tackle the guy with the ball.

By all means, continue to complain. It makes passing the time much more entertaining. I'm just wondering what you're going to find to bitch about when Bell suits up 9/11 and takes it to the Jets.

Now how did you get 8 years when I said 8 months? Reading isn't fundamental with you is it?

I hope I have nothing to bitch about.

Didn't Morton miss the entire preseason last year and Kennison almost all of it. We survived, admittedly the timing was off. But I don't think timing is quite the issue for defense that it is for the skill positions on offnese.

[htismaqe]

I am just tyring to be like you :drool:

Hmmm...I'm attempting to recall all the posts I made complaining about Bell not playing. Or the posts I made about him being damaged goods. And then there was the posts about how Vermeil and Peterson were lying to us.

Wait, what's that? I didn't post any of those things? You're right, I didn't.

Better go back and work on your comebacks, Pete. That one was pretty weak.

And this was posted at 2:07! ROFL

Not taking sides here, but I believe that Pete's edit and Parker's posting, both at 2:07 is coincidental.

Parker quoted Pete, and the quote reads "8 months", and does have the word 'compared' misspelled in it.

Had Pete use the edit to change the '8 months' from '8 years', the quote in Parker's post would have still read '8 years'.

[jspchief]

peteg....you don't need to know a system that well to go chase the QBFunny, I thought Gun said it takes LBs two years to get his system down and really flourish.

I'm not at the start 4 threads a day mass hysteria level of Petegcamaro. But I also don't agree that missing these games isn't hurting Bell's chances to be his best in this D.

Saying that Bell, or a vet, or a vet LB doesn't need pre-season time seems to go against the thinking of every coach in the NFL. If there was truly nothing to gain from playing in these games, Bell wouldn't be the only LB in the league sitting them out.

It's not the end of the world. I just would prefer he was getting more work in.

Had Pete use the edit to change the '8 months' from '8 years', the quote in Parker's post would have still read '8 years'.Actually an interesting thing about the quote function is that it pulls the quote when you submit, not when you hit the quote. So you can be thinking the quote says one thing but what actually get's quoted is different. So if a person changes his post fast enough it can lead to a situation as described in your post.

[Halfcan]

Can someone please combine all the Bell threads it is getting confusing. DV said he will play this week for sure. So we will see what for sure means.
