Bell

I'm pretty impressed with Bell at this point. He had a heck of a game tonight and took a heck of a shot trying to score.
When was the last time we had a rookie RB have the kind of impact he has had this season?
Those that are saying he's a bust or calling him Tinker Bell need to man up and admit they were wrong!

 

He gave it his all for that score. You can tell that he was a rookie giving it all for it. Reminded me of a rookie Ben and it's been a ling time since we've had a RB do it.

The travesty is they actually took the legal touch down away because his helmet came off from the viscous hit!

 

And held onto the ball!

 

Not sure, but do you think it was the initial hit or his head hitting the ground that knocked him out?

 

Because that's what he does.

 

THIS. Good grief THIS.

 

Bell was good tonight, and even though we loss I saw something special in that kid tonight.

 

Agreed. I understand the rule is to protect him, but what happened was that he took a blow to the head, got a concussion, was possibly knocked out, and fell into the end zone while holding onto the ball. That is a touchdown. If anything he should get bonus points, not points taken away.

It's an unfortunate situation. Maybe something can be tweaked. For now, I'll settle for tweaking Manny Sanders' hands.

 

yeah glenn maybe tinker isnt that bad .. maybe its his helmet that he just cant seem to keep on.. but then again hes a rookie.. maybe he takes "how to keep my helmet on 101" next season ... thanks TTF but glenn choose to call me out ... let him deal with it ...

HINES

 

I give Bell mad props, he was great tonight. His catching out of the back field is great, great at picking up blitzes, and had some solid runs tonight. Get well soon young man.

 

it was the helmet to helmet hit that knocked the helmet off

 

Are you serious....re-read your game thread posts, all you did was call people out with each good play by Bell.

 

That was all in good fun though. I wasn't suggesting that people needed to man up and all that. I like Slickster and he knows that I wasn't trying to call him out. There was a few of us ribbing him over that.

 

Has his helmet came off before?

 

It wasn't a legal TD.

 

Say what you want about Bell, but when he starts having consistent success throughout the course of his career, I will look back to last night's game as the night that LeVeon Bell proved his mettle as a Pittsburgh Steeler against our most hated rival. He laid it all on the line last night and knew he'd be taking a shot from multiple defenders as he completely sacrificed his body to attempt to score the touchdown late! Bell came to play last night, as did Heath, Beachum and a few others.

LeVeon Bell! Welcome to the Pittsburgh Steelers!!!!

 

Well said.

 

I am most impressed with Bell's effectiveness as a receiver.

 

This is actually a dimension in the passing game we've been missing in the last few years. Not to say we've not had the receivers - Mendenhall could catch, and was often open - but Ben has started to look for the RB in the flat more now, and Bell has proved that it's not a worthless throw to make.

 

I wonder how the season might have started out differently with a healthy Bell in the lineup. Perhaps 2-2 instead of 0-4?
