I think Leveon Bell is going to burn people this year. I think his rookie YPC was 3.5.

That number sounds familiar.

Eddie Lacy


can't find it now, but i remember reading that Lacy has never played a full season of football, dating back to junior high school

quote:

Leveon Bell


I play PPR, who will take touches...Dri Archer? Blount could be a vulture, but Bell is 240lbs himself right? I think Blount will get 70-80 carries, but that's still give Bell 250, I'm just a bit worried about his 50 catches

I was down on him a bit because of it, but I was watching PIT 2013 on NFL channel, and multiple times they showed Tomlin gushing about Bell on the sidelines...."WE'VE GOT OUR RUNNER, WE'VE GOT OUR RUNNER"..."THIS GAME IS YOURS BOY"...."I KNEW YOU WOULD DO IT WHEN I DRAFTED YOU" these were after his TD runs that they showcased about his season.

Tomlin could just be that way, he always seems stoic to me, but I heard loyalty in his voice.

People are so in love with Leveon Bell and Eddie Lacy. Ball was more impressive on the field than both of those guys once Ball got playing time

I think Ball is going to be a stud.


This is why auction league is so much better than snake.
In a snake draft, based on ADP i'm not touching Lacy (top 5 ) and Bell/Ball (late 1st/early 2nd).

In auction, I can see paying $40 for their services, but spend big on another 1st rd player.

he had a poor line though. I like the way he runs. I haven't researched if their line has gotten better though.

Well Pouncey got hurt on the first series of the year.

So Bell never played with him.

If your center is unable seal block, there aren't going to be many running lanes, especially for a 240-pound back who likes to run up the middle -- just ask 2010 Alabama.

Yeah, he actually looked great against the Vikings, but I just do not understand how some people see him as a top 10 pick.

I don't really want an adp RB1 unless I have a top four pick. I know I will go receiver heavy in TDFL.

How high is high? 3rd round high? Watch out, Joique Bell can go.

No. I'd take Bell over Bush.

The more I think about it, I would take Bush over Bell. I thought Bell was edging out Bush for an even split of the workload. I was wrong.
