I think you go after him hard. Other teams still don't respect our run game and can now key in on allen and the pass. I think with bell in backfield teams will have to keep an eye on him amd even game plan for him. So far as he is not asking for top rb dollars. 4 to 6 mil I would do it.
Def isn't the same, used to be able to get off the field on 1st downs...def would wreak havoc all over the field. Looks like they are playing soft and are banking on josh to bail them out. And josh is coming down from cloud nine.
What is wrong with this defense. Last few years the def has kept us in games as the offense struggles to put up points. Now our offense puts up numbers and has to bail out our porous def.
