    How much of Bell will we see today? Will he get the bulk of the carries or will it be like Wheaton last week, all lip service?
    I'm really hoping he sees plenty of action and is effective. If he's on the bench all day I'm going to be disappointed.

    A) I hope he's fully healed. Rushing back from that injury can lead to more problems down the road.
    and
    B) I hope he's not on a short leash. One thing that aggravates me about this staff is their constant rotating of the RBs. Let the guy play and stick with him. If he's not finding success early on, leave him in and let him work through it.

    I agree totally. Keep Bell in and let him get into a rhythm. And stop rotating Wourlds and Jones. Start Jones and keep him there!

    It will be interesting to see how many reps he gets. Hopefully his foot is 100% and stays that way.

    With this teams history, he's being rushed back, will get hurt again today, and be out for 6 more games or so.

    I see him in a limited roll, not quite as limited as Heath was but I suspect you'll see plenty of Dwyer and Jones. If that all goes well, he'll be used to full capacity after the bye week. This type of injury scares me because it just happened on it's own, if I remember correctly, no one touched him, he just planted wrong. I think they will ease him back in.

    After he has 50 yards on his first five carries, including one he'll break for 20+, Tomlin will have no choice but to keep him at throttle up. Man, I'm feeling optimistic of late and I think I like it. Proud of me, BF?

    I don't want them running him to death his 1st game in the NFL really.

    Dwyer has a lot to prove too and that could be a potent 1-2 combo.

    Johnson too.

    Start Dwyer and give Bell maybe 10 carries leave Redman on the bench.

    This...they will probably put a snap count on him like with Heath.

    Redman is not active today so you won't have to worry about him.

    The only thing I saw Coach T say was something like, paraphrasing a bit, "he's not going to suit up to stand next to me". I think he'll play a lot.
