Bell Officially Rule OUT for Saturday

Not only is monroe is out but they have a rookie starting facing Harrison. Their RT is out as well and they're moving their probowl guard Yanda to play RT....Tuitt, MCClendon and Hayward should get a lot of pressure on Flacco.

Mark my words ....their line won't hold up against the rush...Flacco will get hit early and often.

leaky O-line leaky secondary.

I like the Steelers chances.....................
 
Yanda will cut block somebody on the outside and try to roll up his legs. I hope we get that *** hole early in the game.
 
I think it is a good thing to give him more time to get ready, that hit had to hurt a lot. They have a back up plan and Tate is available for somethings now and likely a bigger role next week if needed. In looking at what was out there when Bount got dumped I can see there not being a lot to choose from and the place to put someone was not really there either. I would love to see the roster expanded to include practice squad as well then you don't have other teams poaching and there are enough players to allow a quality product on the field with the short term injuries that happen.
 
My balloon of optimism just got popped. Much harder road now.

Mine popped as soon as they showed the replay of Bell getting hit last week. No way you bend your leg like that and recover in a few weeks. Next time Bell will be 100 percent is in the first preseason game of 2015...
 
I think Harris is a capable runner, I'm more concerned with the fumbling potential with the pressure of a playoff game.

These are my thoughts as well. I tried to find fumble stats on Harris and came up empty. Anyone know how many times he fumbled in college?

Assuming the injury is no worse than it currently seems, I think there's a chance he could be healthy enough to be effective in the AFC title game, if they were to make it.
 
The best thing about relative unknowns is that there is no tape or tendencies on them. Its why many guys thrown into roles like this have excellent games at first, then taper down as teams know what to expect
