Chiefs Le'Veon Bell of Old - Page 4

I am incredibly stoked about Bell coming to K.C. for a few reasons and I do think we are getting 90% or more of the old Bell that was a Steeler and here is why and one reason I don't think was discussed on the radio etc.

1) He went to the Jets to get paid plain and simple. As soon as he signed he liked a few posts about the coach and how bad of a hire it was. Things started off rocky before he even got there and the team was a dumpster fire. So he walks in with very little ( if any) respect for the head coach and knowing he is going to a disaster of a team.

2) What does not get discussed enough is this. Many have said he is washed up and "did you see his yards from scrimmage in New York" yada yada yada… Well look, again something not discussed, but if you are in a place the head coach does not like you, the team is bad, I think it is a VERY real thing, like most people in life at your job etc that you sort of "dog it" you don't give it your all, you sort of half ass it. Not enough to be incredibly obvious to people but enough that you know you will land in a different spot soon. You make enough social media posts and act the way he does, he ends up getting exactly what he wanted. Why try at the level he did in Pittsburg for what, maybe one or two more wins a season? I think there is a VERY high probability that he did what most athletes do when they are in a situation like Bell, no respect for the coach, bad team equals half ass effort.

3) Now he can go anywhere, or at least had enough choices to pick where "HE WANTS TO GO" vs. a money thing. He knows how good we are, he knows the players, he knows we have stars everywhere and well, we have Patty. So him choosing us vs his previous situation is very different.

4) We will get the old Bell within a few weeks and have something incredibly special and will win another Super Bowl. He wants to prove everyone wrong that he still has it and I think he has almost all of it left.

5) He's 28 which isn't that old for a running back but between sitting out a year and the limited use he had with New York we are getting a running back at the very least at a 26/27 year old back usage. Plus with the Steelers he didn't take tons of direct hits like so many do, he was very elusive in how he was tackled, you didn't see a lot of hard hits.

6) Unless he gets injured, which could happen, I think he will end up being our feature back ( not that CEH isn't very good) because getting 90% or more of the best back in football is just nuts.

I can be wrong but to many things point to him being absolutely Elite and nobody wants to say he was dogging it in New York but I think he was because he's human and it what most people would do.

Thoughts?

No he has to go through the COVID-19 protocols to be officially active... hopefully for the Denver game.

So Bell number is 26 why is that if Williams is still apart of the team?

Not sure we know what number Bell will wear.

That being said, Williams opted out. He's not on the roster.

I know Williams opted out not sure if Bell said let me use your number since you’re not playing. But on the Chiefs roster they have Bell 26 I guess will find out once he start to practice with the Chiefs.

Should see highlights today from practice I'd assume.

Bell doesn't have to ask Williams, that's my point.

Damien Williams is currently not a football player. He doesn't have a number.
