Vonn Bell to Bengals (1 Viewer)

I'll tell you this: I don't think any other safety would have made Zeke fumble on that play at that certain moment by stripping the ball out as Zeke was going to the ground....I don't think any safety would have stripped that ball out of that Bears' player either.

It was in those moments where I thought to myself, "damn if we didn't have Vonn Bell on that play, I don't think we would've caused a turnover"
 
Surprising 10 career INTs so far.

I hate losing Bell. ALWAYS around the ball, seemly was picking up every fumble and returning it.

My thoughts too. With the way many here seem to not see it that way, and value Marcus way more than I do, perhaps I am imagining it all. Lol

I think Underhill summed it up pretty well. He has fantastic range and he makes a lot of plays other safeties can’t.

But he also makes some bad mistakes. And unfortunately, they seem to come at the worst times. So people remember them more than the good things.

Overall, he’s a good safety. And I think having someone back there like Jenkins who is a vet and a little better in coverage may help.

I think Jenk will help too.
Just don’t recall seeing too many positive game changing plays form Marcus. But it matters not what I or anyone else feels about him as a safety. We will all root for him as he’s a Saint.
 
Jenkins wasnt the player he is today when the saints let him go in FA.
He did an interview where he spoke and re dedicating himself to the game and learning a lot more under the coaches with Philly.

The same may happen for bell. He is a good player, Jenkins was considered good. But a change of scenery and different personal might elevate his game.

Plus, he should be excited, he might be playing with Burrow. Thats a upgrade over Brees. Flame away.
This is one of the most confusing posts I have read on here. Read it 3X. Still have no idea if this is sarcasm.

The problem if hes doing his job you not going here much about him. Games the D played great he prolly had a good game. His does 2 negatives thinga to me that stand out to me. He seems to get either caught day dreaming or tries to make a big play and follows the welng receiver leaving his zone. Hes really young i would stick with him. I think jenkins going help his progress. Lattimore also.
 
It's because these guys think they can get more and have to settle for less cause the Saints don't wait.

I like our approach. We can't sit here and wait and miss out while waiting.
I hated losing Ingram last year and Bell this year, but the Saints could not have handled the situations any better. Made them fair offers and moved on to plan B when the player decided to test his value in the open market. Only thing worse than losing both players would have been not signing competent replacements.
 
10 with 2 forced fumbles. Marcus Williams is a good player that just has had a few mistakes at crucial times. There's not 5 free safeties better than him in the league.

I’ll continue to pull for him and hope he morphs into the next Ed Reed, at that point I’ll gladly eat crow.

As far as there aren’t 5 better? I disagree. I can name 5 off the top of my head that are better.
All subjective tho, so it doesn’t matter. He’s a Saint and I hope he continues to grow as a player.
