    Am I wrong, but it appears that Bell and Blount are splitting 50/50 on offense. I like to see Bell on 75% of our offensive play. He needs to carry the ball 20 times a game and not this 10-12 carries a game. He just seems to make big plays.

    I worry about how to disguise any play he might be in on more.

    Would like to see a double back set. Blount and Bell on either side of Ben.

    I agree that's my set as well...I think we could also put Blount at FB ...

    Sounds a bit Crazy , but with the way Pouncy and Decastro block and block on the move I would like to see some Wing T with Blount and Bell at the Wings that Counter trey would be a great play for us IMO....

    I didn't think it was a 50/50 split to be honest. At any rate, Bell needs to be out there at all times. I do like the idea of Blount at FB too.

    Your right FTB. What do we have to lose? He can run and has soft hands for passes out of the backfield. Amazingly talented

    5 on the O-Line + Ben = 6 men. They need Heath to help the O-Line most times = 7 men. Bell and Blount = 9 men. We have room for 2 WRs. AB is a lock = 10. I'd go with Bryant/Wheaton for WR #2 = 11 men.

    I like the idea of the 2 back set... but somebody better tell Haley to get more intimate with PA. :lolol:

    Fully agree. When they had him out Monday it was disturbing. Blount is fine and all and love the way he falls forward, but Bell is Worlds more talented and is our money maker. He and AB are the 2 best players on the team and shd play as much as physically possible. That short pass to Bell cannot be defended by your avg LB.

    You're right, it's not. It's more like 75/25 on average.

    I'm not so worried about the number of snaps as I am his number of rushing attempts, it's too low. The guy is a stud, we need to put the ball in his hands more often. 12 rushing attempts is absolutely inexcusable for a guy like Bell. I don't know why that hasn't been fixed yet. When Bell has the ball in his hands, good things happen.

    Oops, were we talking about snaps? My 75/25 was Bell to Blount rushing attempts just to clarify.

    I agree, he needs to touch the ball more in general. That goes extra for the Colts.

    This. Bell averages 5.1 per attempt rushing and 9.4 per reception... The numbers him and AB are putting up when the defense absolutely knows one of these two guys are gonna get the rock is absurd.

    If Bell ain't touching it 25 times a game
    somebody needs their head adjusted.
