I don't know if it's Bell so much as the offensive line to be honest. Either way, our inability to run the ball or stop them from running the ball does not bode well for this game.They made a QB change. I think Eastern should pull Bell, too. We’re gonna leave these guys in the game long enough to come back and beat us,
Agreed on the offensive line but Bell's simply not moving the offense. I think you give Schakel a chance .I don't know if it's Bell so much as the offensive line to be honest. Either way, our inability to run the ball or stop them from running the ball does not bode well for this game.
Besides not being able to see over the offensive line, Bell's biggest weakness is that he can't read the blitz. He gets sacked far too much. Sure, sometimes he can get out of bad situations with his legs, but he's not reading it and doesn't check down to his hot routes to beat the blitz.I don't know if it's Bell so much as the offensive line to be honest.

Exactly. Pre-snap recognition and adjusting protection doesn't seem to be there.Besides not being able to see over the offensive line, Bell's biggest weakness is that he can't read the blitz.

I was worried about that as well. Just letting them hang around, but that's what happens when you can't run the ball.I knew we started out way too fast for it to be real. The defense needs to step up and create more turnovers because the O isn't going to get it done in this game.
Right. Time and time again this season we can't play with the lead. So many times...I was worried about that as well. Just letting them hang around, but that's what happens when you can't run the ball.
Yeah, I agree. The defense is actually playing ok with the exception of their one scoring drive. But they're not good enough to win this game. We need the offense to get points. We're 1 of 7 on third down. That's pretty telling.We have 97 yards of total offense. Sure, some of that is due to the short fields we had on those scores, but Bell is not consistently moving the offense. I think you give him a chance to start the second half, and if we go three and out again you put Schakel in. You have to do something to try to get this offense moving.
