I'm hoping Gun's use of Bell last year was about covering for a rookie on the other side. I know DJ came out and had an amazing game in week 1, but he also made a lot of rookie mistakes throughout the year. Maybe Gun felt that playing back in coverage was the tougher assignment, so relied on the veteran Bell to handle that stuff more often. I also think there's a chance that they were trying to cover for a less than 100% Bell.
IMO, Gun used both our OLBs wrong. It's like he forced both of them to play outside of their strengths. There's really ony 3 explanations I can come up with:
1. Trying to cover for Bell not being 100%
2. Trying to cover for a rookie at the other OLB position
3. Gun is simply an idiot (which even if you think he's a bad D-coordinator, I would argue that he knows the LB position).
