I've defended Bell all year.... I keep saying it's a new scheme, he's getting his confidence back, he's not being utilized correctly..... blah blah...
But the fact is, we're paying him enough to be a playmaker. Yes he's stuffing the line and making a bunch of 3yd stops, but I think we've got young guys that could do the same thing. We brought him in to be a playmaker... and half way through the season he isn't living up to it. I hope it will turn into a Kawika type of growth into the defensive scheme, but I'm not seing it yet. He doesn't seem to be playing with much intensity. He's been an average LB that is getting the job done, but that's it........
