    Why would you consider Tatum Bell to be a fumble machine?
    Thats silly. He has less fumbles per yard and per att than Eddie George.

    80 carries for each fumble.
    He only has 6 career fumbles as a rusher.

    im not as excited about this signing as i thought i would be. bell is a good player, but he's also replaceable.
     
  4. You say he's a good player, so why not resgin him?

    Nah don't worry about it...

    Bell fumbles..

    According to nfl.com bell had 0 fumbles as a rookie in 04, 3 in 05 and 5 in 06. 8 total but the point has been made.

    Thats right..

    but i think 2 fumbles were not from his rushing attempts but rather fumbles after a catch.

    You were calculating it out of his rushing attempts so i thought i should point that out.

    just seems like he gets pushed around a lot when he is up against bigger DTs. you would think by his fourth season in the league he would have improved his strength some, but it doesnt seem that way.

    Why he's a average G that can easily be replaced. Not the type of G you lock up long long term like Hutch, Faneca, ect. I wish we would have gotten Faneca he would have made our O-Line top 5 maybe better and we have solid depth.

    He needs to either get much stronger or we need a new gaurd because he gets man-handled by strong DT and gets only marginal push if any in the run game. His pass blocking is the only reason he is still starting.

    Bell is better than average..

    Titan fans who have watched piller play in 05 and 06 know what a difference bell makes. Bell is maybe a 6.5 on a 1-10 scale but he can play tackle in a pinch and is still very young. I think he is worth tying up for a long time. I don't like musical chairs in the offensive line anmd if anyone is going to replace him it should be a draft pick who legitimately beats him out. This new guy might do that but more likely he will take over for mawae.
