With all the QB talk and lack of Ronnie Brown production and Jason Allen crying, something that seems to be lost is the strong play of Yeremiah Bell (IMHO) against the Pats. He was effective as a blitzer, made a nice pass defense and a great play on special teams as well. In general, I've found him to be really emerging as a solid player who's increasingly around the ball.

Futhermore, I know we're all focusing on the negatives with this team but let's try to keep things in perspective. Players like Bell, Roth, Crowder (maybe Hagan this week?) are young players starting to make plays. Jason Allen is FIVE games into his NFL career and people are dumping on him even though he isn't even being given the chance to play on D. Ronnie has little room to run and being given few carries to 'break one' and he's still making some gains and has great hands (yes fumble and that one drop excluded) coming out of the backfield. Daunte is not healthy YET and his projection is for the long term. It doesn't happen all at once people and sometimes you take a couple of steps forward and then a few back before things start to fall into place. I think Saban's ability to evaluate talent and put a team together deserves a wee bit more time in light of the mess he inherited. A 52 man roster does not change overnight, especially in the salary cap age. Let's keep it real and save our tears.
 
bell made 3 big plays ive only heard hill name twice, and seen spragan twice, and tillman is a great tackler that locks you up nasty but no ball skills, maybe we can move him to WLB and make him add 15 pounds and replace spragan.

and sit hill and start bell and allen, let allen react and play on the game not in practice.
 
I like Bell and hope he gets more playing time. Also, I need to disagree with your Ronnie Brown statement. He is being quite productive, especialy when you figure in his limited touches. I believe he is ranked in the top 10 runningbacks after 5 weeks. With a better line and more touches he would be right at or near the top.
 
I thought Bell looked good against the Patsies also. I would like to see him get more playing time.
 
Bell is the "Wes Welker" of the defense. He comes in on defense and makes plays. He plays fast and makes things happen. For some strange reason, just like Welker, people are slow to praise his abilities.

Nah, I like Hill....

I think Bell should replace Tillman and make Tillman the 3rd safety.

And I think that Saban should mold Allen into our next CB instead and make Daniels our NB. :cooldude:
