I love how folks are more bitter about the contract issue then Bell's missed games due to suspension. Last two seasons folks were counting down the weeks until Bell's return.
Now they are all salty because how dare he turn down the reasonable offer that the Steelers and those dear Rooneys made him.
Whether the contract is reasonable or not does not matter. Bell doesn't think it is and he made a decent bet on himself. No one on the planet is more motivated to have an incredible year than Bell. It is the only way he can move the Steelers off the franchise tag for next year. Have a massive year and hope they figure L Bell is worth it at any price.
The Vikings front line is one of the best in football. I mean I guess you can keep denying that, but I'm never going to agree with you. Against Cleveland, the Browns front 4 ate the Steelers o-line's lunch.
If Bell starts or keeps missing big holes, then I'm gonna worry. Until then, not a big deal for me.
No less an authority than Bettis always argued that it took 3-4 weeks to crank up the run game.
