    He said before the season that Blount was gonna get the majority of the carries on the goal line. It makes sense but I would like to see Bell getting more tds for sure.

    I know he said it, still don't like it. Bell can do it just as well, probably even better, if I'm not mistaken, his yards after contact is better. Plus, Bell does all thh heavy lifting getting down there and you give the glory to someone else?

    Well they don't call it a "team sport" for nothing I guess. LOL. I just think it's weird that Bell is considered an every down back except on downs that can yield points??? We've played some pretty good front 7s though so that probably accounts for some of it.

    For whatever reason, this team refuses to stick with a fullback full time. They refuse to load the backfield with potential mismatches I.e. Bell/ Blount, bell/ archer, Blount/archer, bell/Blount/will J... Etc...

    never have done it over the years why start now?

    Remember when Deuce came to town and did all the heavy lifting his 1st season for a few weeks (before he became the proverbial sweat suit model) and let bussie hit pay dirt? Worked a little but never had a combo set in the backfield. Don't recall it with piegram and Morris either. We need some wishbone or wing T formations something, just shake it up and make someone have to guess once this decade or two. And yeah where is Spaeth? PA inside the 10 in a 2 or maybe even 3 TE formation? Lot of height there between him and Heath. Idk, I'm sure the line would get pancaked before we could even get the plays off.

    Dude remember in that jags game they didn't let the fullback lead for Blount but just handed it right to him? I seriously blew my top on that play. I saw an article the other day talking about how fullbacks are still pretty prominent in the NFL but it sure doesn't seem like it. Also yes I remember the sweatsuits. LOL.
