sith13 1,746 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Not sure how severe but looked like he was done for the season. Hopefully he'll be back for the playoffs. Let's see if Bell can establish himself as the man during his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 At least it doesn’t appear to be injuries that will limit him next season. we need bell and williams to remain healthy for the playoff run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hips can be tricky for athletes, especially - I would think - a running back. I think it was a hip injury that ended Bo Jackson’s football career, though he kept playing baseball.

mex 65,581 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Thankfully we don't need him as badly for the next two games as we do for the playoffs. Hopefully 2-3 weeks off is enough. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Warpaint 3,234 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 don't know about all of you but i was a bit tense after CEH went down and then that asshole from NO grabbed Bell by the facemask to take him down thank god bell was ok mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCWEST 1,238 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I would like to see what Bell can do with 20+ touches? Seems some backs get better as the game goes on. Hard to do that when alternating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calichief 3,016 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think we were going to see a lot Of bell regardless down the stretch and in the playoffs. He’s a horse. I think he’s going to beast. He’s had a lot of rest the last few years. Time to ride mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balto 723 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Really feel bad for CEH. I think Bell will step it up and ball out now that he is the main guy. This is his chance to get a ring and another payday in the offseason. Also....3, 2, 1, on media saying KC should sign Lynch off the streets. mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe that is the danger in hip injuries. Look at Tua. Similar injury and he wasn't even out a full year. Still a QB is different that the wear and tear and cuts made by a running back.

Lamardirts 2,114 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 My hope is that Bell dominates the last couple games and can create a market for himself next year that could help net us a 4-5th round comp pick. Right now he'd be lucky to get a 3/15 deal. Which at that rate I wouldn't mind bringing him back. Damien Williams would save half that in a cut. Damien Williams has more speed but isn't elusive at all. Wonder what you guys think. If we could get Bell for 3/15 or stick with Damien Williams at 2.5 million.

Hope he returns. two totally different running styles bell can catch the ball, understands the playbook, and is probably a little better in pass pro he'll be fine... and there will not be a huge drop off in production, unless andy changes direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Warpaint 3,234 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 man signing bell really paid off already, imagine where we would be if we had Williams & Thompson left on the roster mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are similar in production and would keep whoever plays for less money, bell might be worth a mil or so more since he can handle more touches without being injured. I would be fine with any combo of clyde/Williams/williams or clyde/ bell/ williams or bell / williams/ williams if for some reason clydes injury is worse than we think. Money on any situation should be very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCWEST 1,238 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 5. The Chiefs found some success on the ground. Kansas City racked up 179 rushing yards in Sunday’s victory, which were the second-most New Orleans has allowed all season. In fact, the Saints entered the matchup allowing the second-fewest rushing yards on average in the NFL, yielding just 3.7 yards-per-attempt. Tailback Clyde Edwards-Helaire (79), Bell (62) and Mahomes (37) each contributed to that effort on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
