Bell has a role, new celebration for Lions
 

Classy guy; hope he and the Lions have much success


Bell always had confidence. He was always ready. Had to be. Bell never doubted his ability or that eventually he would find a role with an NFL team. His stop in New Orleans is what really gave him the belief it would work out somewhere, somehow.

Bell said Saints coach Sean Payton told him, when he released him, they kept him on the roster because he played well enough they felt they had to.

Always like him.

Da guys a Joik!!!

WR's leave New Orleans... don't do as well
OL's leave New Orleans... don't do as well
RB's leave New Orleans... seem to do better.

OR

"We kept you on the roster because you played well enough and we felt we had to and we're letting you go."

....and playing on any team with Reggie is guaranteed playtime at some point.

I will take him over Ingram righ know

Re: Bell has a role, new celebration for Lions
 

It's already happening ... after Bush went out with a knee, JB was the sole running back the rest of the way ... I was surprised, they have so much confidence in him they sat Mikel Leshoure & are considering trading him (leshoure). Bell played his college ball right here at Wayne State (Div II) and actually worked as a security guard at the Lions Allen Park training facility ... he's not as flashy or fast as a 'reggie bush', but dang-it, he's a blue-collar runner, gets the job done and doesn't get hurt.

I was pleased-as-punch when Detroit got him & it just gets better, :mrgreen:.

Re: Bell has a role, new celebration for Lions
 

Will; make an even trade with you: Bell for Ingram!

Re: Bell has a role, new celebration for Lions
 

Yeah, Lions/Saints should be working on some sort of revolving player swap ... Detroit sends defensive lineman and New Orleans sends running backs, :mrgreen:.

Re: Bell has a role, new celebration for Lions
 

Well not always. Ivory is already having hamstring problems.

Re: Bell has a role, new celebration for Lions
 

I was really bummed when Det. snatched him off our PS. I'd take him over Ingram or Cadet. In fact I was hoping we'd keep him over Ivory. He's not as talented as Ivory but he's a lot more durable. (and versatile.)

Re: Bell has a role, new celebration for Lions
 

That's what makes him so valuable in Detroit, his durability ... but guess who's tied for rushing TD's with Adrian Peterson after Week 3? Yep, Joique Bell, :mrgreen: ... that's some pretty select company.

I see him much like what is pointed out in the 'Ingram threads' ... you just gotta' find the right spot for him. NO's RB roster has to be the envy of the NFL, he was just odd-man out at the time.
