Looks like Chris Brown better start practicing if he wants a roster spot... http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/5917600.html
I liked Mike Bell when he played college football at Arizona... good pick up for the Texans, im glad they didnt pick up Benson
I think this signing is a ploy. It was just done to light a fire under Chris Brown's arse. He was already showing his fragile form and this will show him that he IS replaceable and nothing is guranteed, especially in the NFL. Hopefully this works, cause Brown could have a big year for the Texans, if he gets his head straight.
With Brown and Green being injury prone, signing Bell makes sense. I posted in the other thread that I don't think Brown will make the final roster, he's already missed 3 days of camp due to a sore back. Bell knows the system and was pretty productive when he played.
Because Dayne is 30 years old and never had a whole lot in the tank to begin with. Bell is 25 and has really only played one season and he put up pretty good numbers.
Mike Bell looked real good tonight at practice. Made some nice cuts and had nice bursts through the holes. Brown better strap up and get some run at practice.
Better than real good...he looked a helluva lot better than the other options. Looks a ton quicker than anything we've got back there.
You gotta remember though that he is more fresh than the other RB's. That was his first practice whereas the other guys have been out there for a week.
you're absolutely right...good point. i'm just hopeful...i liked him when he was starring for denver.
Bell played pretty well for Denver before they moved him to FB. I think he'll make the team and actually get some PT. I think Brown will get cut and they're looking at Taylor as a FB. Bell is a big back with a nice burst. He is fresh and I think he'll have a lot of confidence moving back to RB under Kubiak.
