    I seem to recall Ben hyper-extended his knee against the Chargers his rookie year or second year? it looked horrible on TV, but there was no damage.

    I can't remember exactly if Ben played the next week though, but he certainly played the week after that? But Ben was young back then and could bounce back, LevBell is young too.

    And if you are old enough to remember Reggie Harrison, that was like putting Casey Hampton in at RB.

    Reggie Harrison was one of the heroes of Super Bowl X. He blocked a punt for a safety that turned the momentum of the game.

    According to Dale Lolley, Bell just left the facility and can hardly walk.

    I'm still in denial. Perhaps he has a heavy brace on. He's not using crutches so that's a good sign?

    :sick::kapow:

    Tomlin late to his press conference? Not a good sign.

    Some conflicting information coming out.

    Regardless of whats being reported, my own thoughts are he wont be ready until the second round of the playoffs, at the earliest.

    I don't see Bell getting a hat Sat. If so the Doc better be point on. I see Harris & Archer getting lots of reps. If this is the scenario i want Harris.. with bell out and Ngata in, Ben better get plenty of rest and lots of Pepto.

    Agreed. I actually think the Steel Men can beat both Baltisore and Has Been DEN-ver without Bell, so if we can rest him til AFCCG we should

    Harris will have to step up big time in order for this team to move forward. They are going to have to show teams they can run the ball or everyone will tee off on the passing game.

    He was a pretty good backup RB. He had a 100 yard game off the bench during that great 1976 streak.

    He just came along at the wrong time with a couple of guys named Harris and Bleier in front if him. He was the Jim Smith of RBs. :)
