Ummmm. I didn't say the first word about them scaring Williams, I said it could be the end for Bell, Could, also didn't say he was a starter, said maybe they wanted to make a 3 safety SUB package... So what or who are you addressing cause its not me

Plenty of others have said Williams. Post wasn't just about what you said. Anyone thinking either pick was to scare either guy is very misguided. Yes Gardner-Johnson may replace Bell, but that would be next year if he left in FA. He ain't taking his spot this year. He's more of a threat to take PJs spot, especially if PRob also isn't healthy yet.

As for the 3 safety set, yes GJ could take on that Vaccaro role there where he lurks in the box/slot. Bell isn't a great man cover and works better in space. They tried to let Bell take on some of what Vaccaro did but it didn't work.

But that doesn't mean Bell was bad. He's a great middle field rover and can carry the seam, and excells in run support. It's a different role.

But Hampton isn't about getting a 3 safety set. He's more about depth and special teams. I doubt he sees the field on D much if at all.
