Mark Vader Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Bell showed serious promise last night. Ran like a raped ape and never slowed down. I thought Levi looked very good too, even though it was only mop up duty. He has a rocket arm and at least tried to make points. They all tried to make points last night.

oak tree 12 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 In all seriousness, if him and Simpson continue to have strong preseasons and camp, this team needs to seriously consider trading Lynch or Jackson (I would assume Lynchs value would be higher especially if he has a good preseason) and try to get some help somewhere at a weaker position or at least 2nd or 3rd round pick next year. We can roll with Jackson and Spiller with Bell and Simpson for depth... absolutly no way they trade lynch. he had a great run yesterday when he got hurt and you know galiey loves him. they will most likely carry 4 half backs and a full back. lynch will not get traded you can bet on that.

They will carry four backs for sure. Expect to see lots of passes to our RBs also. We have little else to throw too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoobydum Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 I think ML is the most likely to get traded out of the whole group of RB's we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Everyday, why hold a potential probowler back for a good pick? I don't get your point. If Joique Bell proves a worthy third back but sits fourth on the depth chart, then there's fat that could be trimmed. And since we all agree that we've got holes elsewhere, trimming some fat might be the right thing to do... Now this all assumes that the injuries to Lynch and Jackson aren't as serious as the initial buzz...and I don't think they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You answered you're own question, why not bring in new help for our weaknesses versus what's already pretty well covered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoobydum Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 So you advocate the prospect of trading Lynch for a need position (i.e. LB or OL)? If a ML trade improves our O-line protection and helps us run better now, yeah ML for a improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 If a ML trade improves our O-line protection and helps us run better now, yeah ML for a improvement. How the heck are you going to trade Lynch. He just sprained his ankle, has 2 strikes from the commish, your starting runner Jackson just broke his hand and the other 3 guy's never have taken a snap in the NFL(simpson maybe). Get real ain't going to happen. We need Lynch more than ever given our QB's performance. We need to run the ball and then run some more. Keep rotating backs eat the clock and keep Trent Edwards off his butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 with FJ and ML out, I can't imagine Chan playing CJ too much for fear of injury so Bell will get his chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I know it was the first preseason game and all but (that being said) after seeing the way Lynch walked off the field with no limp , and can understand it's the first PRESEASON game i wonder if it wouldn't be in the Bills best interest to trade him for a LT such as Marcus McNeil and keep Bell on !! The kid was a monster in college and feels he has to prove that he can do it with the big boys . I'm just not real convinced that Lynch has his heart into it , only time will tell , & hopefully he will bring beastmode out of mouth balls !!!!

I think obtaining McNeil might be one of the best moves we can make, our O-line needs help bigtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
show_me_the_baby Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I remember that everyone on the defense touching him seemed to create more of a desperate desire to go further, he looked like he was running for his life. Could we even think of cutting this guy? J. Bell is the reason I think we should trade Lynch if we can get a 3rd or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivier in france Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 J. Bell is the reason I think we should trade Lynch if we can get a 3rd or better. who's gonna give us a 3rd for a hurt RB with an huge contract? best case scenario is Simpson and Bell are doing good the rest of the preseason. Jackson and Lynch are back for the season opener and we find a way to trade Bell or Simpson for a 7th rounder. more likely to happen: We start the regular season with Lynch and Spiller. Jackson is back for week 3 we cut Simpson or Bell and keep the other on the practice squad. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell - many a thread has been posted about depth problems in other areas. One of the other would have to really impress in the preseason...and as MarkVader50 noted - will either show any flashes of blocking and blitz pick-up? ?
