    Williams will get some touches. But, Leveon Bell is way to good to not get 15-20 carries a game. Plus he is an equal threat in the passing game.

    Well, if we're talking about going for the jugular when why not because they are both legit weapons. When is the last time we did that though? Halloween 2004?

    I like what I saw today and they definitely have the ability.

    What in the holy name of Heaven and Earth does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

    The conversation was about playing time once he returns.

    Bell is widely considered as one of the top if not THE top all around RB in the league after last year. If you have that you do not take it off the field for half the game because you want to be fair. You do not sit marquee players, period.

    They touched on this during the telecast. D wills came from carolina where they share the load a lot and never once complained.

    The Bell will toll and everyone will forget about Williams. He is here for one reason, to back up Bell. He will get his carries. And as we saw last year when Bell went down there was no viable replacement. They have one now in Williams. Long season folks...

    Should be used to keep Bell fresh for the long haul. Last year I thought he was getting over used some. With a player like Williams there is nothing wrong with giving him 10 to 15 plays or a couple of series in order to keep Bell fresh and Williams sharp.

    I can see williams giving Bell a breather, but you ride the horse that's a winner, Bell is that winner, and williams can share 20% of the race.....

    I would split 60/40. Bell can also line up as a WR on some plays or even have split back sets. on paper we look unstoppable when healthy.

    Bell is one of those backs who gets better with the more carries he gets during a game, he has energy to burn at game time and coming in with fresh legs he should be ready to put on a show the rest of the season, williams has his pluses as well and he said it took him 10 years in the league to learn what bell already knew, pick your crease then turn on the speed....

    He said when he came here that if his job was to hand guys water on the sidelines that he would be the best waterboy he could be. He also posted on Twitter this morning that he is Bells #1 fan.

    What's going to be awesome is the fourth quarter. It's not to this extreme but remember when the Bus would pound on teams for 3 quarters and then FWP would come in and just run away from everyone then they flipped it and it still worked. I think they will pound the ball with Bell and when defense's are worn down you will see a fresh and explosive Williams get his carries.

    Worst idea ever? Come on now, you have been around here long enough to know that this not even in the top ten list. Heck, I alone have put out dummer ideas than this. :)

    What? Bell may be the best back in the game. He is a great runner and an even bigger threat as a receiver out of the backfield. You can split him out to play WR too... I'm a big fan of DWill and how he has played, but I will be PISSED if he is taking double digit touches from Bell. That would be like having AB come off the field to split time equally with a fringe starter/good back up quality player. You just can't do that.
