Hopefully Joique Bell doesn't reprise the role of Mr. Lynch!!

I would be surprised if he was even active.

Don't quote me, I think Bell will be active . . . I wouldn't be too concerned with it though, I mean, he really hasn't had much time to learn the offense and would probably only be used in the event of a RB injury, which we see quite a bit. Glad to hear you guys think highly of him though, he's a local MI boy and I hope he's on the team next season.

go Lions.

What happened with him? I actually watched him play at Wayne State and kind of wished the Lions would have grabbed him up . . . the way our RBs have been going down, he's a welcome addition to the roster.

go Lions.

Last year we were down to Ladell Betts and Julius Jones for our playoff game (Reggie got hurt in the 1st quarter). Joique Bell is better than both of them.

But this year we have a healthy PT, Sproles, Ivory and Ingram (until recently), therfore Bell would be a 5th stringer.

If your curious, I think he plays a lot like Pierre Thomas. Same skill set. Not a blazer but has great balance, falls forward and a pretty decent receiver out of the backfield.

Had Ingram had his setback a week earlier, Bell wouldn't have been available for you guys to claim.

Just didn't have a way to get him on the roster. We went from running back broke in the wild card round last year to an embarrassment of riches this year.

EDIT:
