We really need this guy. He basically is our running game. If he lose him our offense just took a major shot.

How quickly people have forgotten about Pierre Thomas....
PT as a starter last year = 5.1 ypc
bell as a starter this year = 5.1 ypc
plus PT brings another receiving threat, great blocking, and no fumble worries. I am excited to see what happens when both PT and Bell are healthy.
No doubt, we need both of them for the long haul. I'm just glad we have them. They are both small backs that really pound the ball which means one at least one will probably always be banged up. PT is also an excellent special teams player. Plenty of room for both on roster when healthy.
Pierre will receive his starting job back next week.
Bell rushed 17 times for 86 yards...take out the 23 yarder he gained on one of his first carries, then he gained 63 yards on 16 carries.
PT has much more upside then Bell ever will.
You can't just take out a guys longest carry. It's ridiculously dishonest and dumb. All backs pad their averages with a long run or two a game.
PT may still not be 100%. You know what tho, in terms of tuff running, i think Hamilton may get some time if Bell is going to sit out for a while. I think he'll do good, just a gut feeling.
But above all i'm hoping Bell is okay, he has really impressed me this season.
