    not making this a downer for bell by any means, just a discussion but since he's been back we don't win anymore. we won when DW was playing. are we relying too much on bell doing too many things as compared to how we play with DW in the game?

    it seems to me that ben has a hard time spreading the ball around to anyone else but bell and AB. i get that they are our stars but you don't have to go to them 75=80% of the time. did we do better when DW was on the field as it relates to going to different players more often? :cool:

    i know bell likes to have patience on the blocks but a few times a few he couldn've hit the hole and gained alot more

    the ravens zeroed in on bell n brown yesterday

    this stubborness is costing ball games. pass the damn ball around, and if our other guys are not open while brown is triple covered and bell is double, well we deserve to lose.

    Don't agree with this at all. They lost the 3rd game and Dwill did nothing, then won the next two with Bell then lost Ben and have lost ever since.

    I think the problem was the Ratbirds were doing the ol "muddle huddle" near the line. So when Bell danced, there were a lot of them to get there quick. If we would have had a dangerous tight end, we would have opened it up more with play action. Brown was double-triple teamed, everyone else was 1 on 1. With Heath ( or maybe Green if healthy) we would have been more effective.
