Imagine if Sam's been secretly stewing all year, and then one game, he suddenly goes nuclear at Gase on the sideline, and the TV cameras pick it up. That would be hilarious.
Ya the whopping 39yrds he contributed was mind boggling, Bell is and has been washed up since Pittsburgh let him go.
Hardly looked washed up, only 6 carries for first game in new offense. Had 2, 16 yard runs. With all the weapons and options KC has combined with innovative play calling, Bell will do just fine there.
He recorded an average of 6.5 yards per rush attempt so what are you talking about? Washed up? 6.5 yards per carry completely says otherwise. Washed up? You sound.... Nvmd I won't even say it lol.
Just as mind boggling as the same 39 yards his replacement, Perine got. It did take Perine eleven carries to Bell's six.
And before the Jets he was ranked top 3 all time in yards from scrimmage per game and an All Pro and Pro Bowl RB. So it's even more laughable to compare his performance as a Jet. Did you not see his 6 carries with KC? Did you not see his speed quickness and power during his 6 carries? Did you not see him hitting and finding HOLES during his 6 carries with KC? lol Bell is an absolute stud and there's a real REASON why an offensive genius in Andy Reid wanted Le'Veon Bell a CHIEF!
And it was pretty obvious that he had lost a step since taking the year off after being released by the Steelers. Your absolute stud had no trade suitors. Your absolute stud signed for $1 million on a one year deal. Your absolute stud will be sharing carries with another back. And yes I watched him play in Kansas City. He carried the ball 6 times for 39 yards LOL
Heck , no matter the amount of carries, 6 for 39 is over 6 YPC - Jets = 3.9 /ypc....... = Gase sucks.
I noticed he was showing some burst against the Cards. Something that wasn't there last season and in week 1 this year.
Let's see how his season finishes. Obviously he's going to kill us. But everyone needs to remember that he was signed to be the bellcow for the Jets as he was last year and he vastly underperformed. He looked tentative last year and while he was a good soldier he wasn't choosing the right holes that were there. He wasn't explosive on any ball he was catching (6th in RB catches last year). Bell goes to the Chiefs as a complimentary backup piece. He's going to produce and he's going to have zero pressure on him. Just remember though, that Andy Reid turned Spencer Ware into a back that had 1,368 yards from scrimmage in 14 games with the 19th ranked passing attack (Alex Smith) at the helm. So take Bell's production with a grain of salt.
It's really insane to think about how much talent the Chiefs have on offense. Pro bowlers at o line, TE, WR, RB, QB along with one of the greatest offensive minded coaches the league has ever had.
I know it was only 2 carries but WTF he looked like he had more burst in those two plays than he's exhibited in 2 years here with the Jets
