Likely used often in the slot & spread outside. This will open more ops for Kelce. His stats may not be huge but he being on the field will create even more stress on the opposition defenses. Also lets KC rest CEH often. Hope his ego can handle being a decoy and starting behind CEH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Bell signing is about CEH (mentor, share the load, let CEH learn - remember this was the plan with Damian until he opted out) and further forcing teams out of that "play everyone in coverage zone" looks.

Injuries ad up fast. This guy is a playmaker. If anything I think some receivers will lose snaps to Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azchief21 5,278 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I'm sure Andy is working on a package or 2 that has both Bell & CEH in the backfield together. What a DC nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a DC nightmare. Yeah. Bell can line up at WR easily too. Imagine a hand off to bell then he throws a screen to CEH type things. This is going to create havoc. 2 RB with 2 WR and 1 TE set of all our weapons on the field. Reid is going to have some fun with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sick. from espn article on what happened last year Bell's usage as a wide receiver also declined, although not as much as you might think. In Pittsburgh, he lined up wide or in the slot on 12% of his snaps; it was 8% with the Jets. So yes, Gase could have done a better job of playing to Bell's versatility. Gase said he plans to connect with Bell in the spring to study Pittsburgh tape and figure out ways to make him more productive, but that sounded like lip service, frankly, because he knows Bell probably won't show up for voluntary workouts.

I don't think Reid has to do that. The main difference between Reid and Pittsburgh...Pitt didn't forget about the running game. Bell will be fine in Reid's passing attack.

We'll see. There's 40% of the RB snaps available that our backups were taking, plus any 2 rb sets Andy comes up with. That's enough snaps to do some damage. If he can coach the kid up some, that's a bonus. Andy will make it work. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
