He had a catch I think and som pretty good blocks.

Mike is resting his legs.. he will play SB... TRUST!

Re: Where was Mike Bell
 

For sure Lance Moore had one catch early on, but that is all I saw of him. I never saw Bell in there, and my hubby did ask about him. Good to know we WILL have fresh legs in the game!

Why was Hamilton in there?

Re: Where was Mike Bell
 

Actually, we didn't get enough run opportunities to play Bell. Heck Pierre and Reggie only combined for about 19 carries.

Situational decisions is the answer to these questions. No doghouse.
It was in the newspaper today... Coach P made decisions based on what
he needed at the time in the game... and Pierre is ahead on the depth chart...

Pierre clearly proved that it was a wise choice by our Coach, imho.

Just like during the regular season, Coach P eventually admitted he was
sparingly using Reg-gie! to keep him healthy for the playoffs when they'll
really need his explosiveness.

The good news is Bell has a bigger chip on his shoulders about running now that he didn't get to play and he'll be a gazillion % healthy.


HUGE hidden X factor!

I surely wouldn't want to attempt to tackle that dude. He rings Bells.

Re: Where was Mike Bell
 

I read a quote from SP NOLA.com that he wanted to give Bell more carries but he didn't get to with how the game unfolded.

Re: Where was Mike Bell
 

exactamundo... situational decisions...

GOOD CALL! What a Coach!

Re: Where was Mike Bell
 

Tough to run against the Vikes I think the whole game plan changed midstream. Although PT still was pretty steady, I also think they were waiting for Reggie to break one out.

Re: Where was Mike Bell
 

Vikings defense perhaps a little physical for Bell and SP felt Thomas is a little tougher. Also with the 3-and-outs didn't get much chance to alternate backs.
