JP-era Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Bell is a UFA. My buddy says that the Steelers may let him walk. I think I might. HE has an injury concern but has been a stud in the past as far as sacks go. Fletcher would save us 1.6 mil if released. Set to make 3.8 and would have a 1.6 hit if cut. Fletcher the past few years: YEAR TEAM G GS TOT SOLO AST PD SACK FF REC INT YDS TD 1998 STL 16 1 12 11 1 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 1999 STL 16 16 90 69 21 2 3.0 0 0 0 0 0 2000 STL 16 15 133 106 27 8 5.5 1 0 4 33 0 2001 STL 16 16 119 93 26 5 4.5 4 0 2 18 0 2002 BUF 16 16 149 108 41 2 3.0 2 2 0 0 0 2003 BUF 16 16 133 102 31 5 2.0 0 1 0 0 0 2004 BUF 16 16 144 101 43 4 3.5 2 1 0 0 0 CAREER 112 -- 780 590 190 26 21.5 9 -- 6 51 0 Kendrell the past few years: YEAR TEAM G GS TOT SOLO AST PD SACK FF REC INT YDS TD 2001 PIT 16 16 82 71 11 1 9.0 1 0 0 0 0 2002 PIT 12 12 50 37 13 2 4.0 0 1 0 0 0 2003 PIT 16 16 100 86 14 3 5.0 1 1 1 61 0 2004 PIT 3 0 8 6 2 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 CAREER 47 -- 240 200 40 6 18.0 2 -- 1 61 0 Fletcher is 29 to be 30. Bell is 26 set to be 27. Fletcher is 5' 10" 245 Bell is 6' 1" 257 Do we go with youth and a better chance for a sack? or a vet who gets lots of tackles even solo?
Rico Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 No way. Fletcher is going nowhere, Bell is damaged goods.
UConn James Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Would you cut London Fletcher for, Kendrell Bell? Hell no.
GG Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Wasn't Bell a 1st rounder? Good enough reason for me.
Ozymandius Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Or do we try not to be idiotic and respect locker room chemistry and not ridiculously cut one of our leaders?
Beerball Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Wasn't Bell a 1st rounder? Good enough reason for me. 217948[/snapback] Works for me too.
LabattBlue Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Speaking of trades...I thought TSW traded JP-era for Foxboro Mike. Why is he still here??
ch19079 Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 the 3-4 and the 4-3 are diffrent systems. these diffrent systems result in diffrent stats for the players. it is diffcult to predict how a LB will do in a 4-3 when he has played his whole carrer in the 3-4. fletcher is proven. why change.
d_wag Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 i nominate this for "worst idea of the off-season".........ain't going to happen, nor should it.........fletch isn't going anywhere..........
drnykterstein Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 no, but i'd cut you for saying such a thing.
Dan Gross Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 i nominate this for "worst idea of the off-season".........ain't going to happen, nor should it.........fletch isn't going anywhere.......... 217975[/snapback] Did you see the "Henry for Fiedler trade" idea yesterday....? This is up there...
USMCBillsFan Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 While we're at it let's release Moulds and sign Reed to big bucks because he handles the 3 spot so well he can surely handle the 1.
drnykterstein Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Did you see the "Henry for Fiedler trade" idea yesterday....? This is up there... 217998[/snapback] we need to make a list and publish it, that would be hilarious.
Ralonzo Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Wasn't Bell a 1st rounder? Good enough reason for me. 217948[/snapback] Actually, a second rounder IIRC.
dave mcbride Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Wasn't Bell a 1st rounder? Good enough reason for me. 217948[/snapback] you're forgetting - pp-era has to fulfill his quota of at least one absolutely drop-dead ridiculous post per day. remember yesterday's? that tom brady isn't very good?
bernie Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Keep Fletcher!!! No to Bell unless a backup lb.
dave mcbride Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 you're forgetting - pp-era has to fulfill his quota of at least one absolutely drop-dead ridiculous post per day. remember yesterday's? that tom brady isn't very good? 218009[/snapback] i meant jp-era (the post wasn't meant to read like snarky name-calling).
JP-era Posted January 25, 2005 Author Posted January 25, 2005 Can Kendra play OLB?? 217964[/snapback] How aqbout the reverse. Fletcher certainly has the speed to play OLB.
rolly Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Wasn't Bell a 1st rounder? Good enough reason for me. 217948[/snapback] So was Ryan Leaf.
