Another Bust in KC (Bell)?

[Bronco9798]

The Kansas City Star reports Although the Chiefs indicated this week would mark LB Kendrell Bell’s return to contact, Bell was again held out of the contact portions of practice Tuesday. HC Dick Vermeil said he was unsure when Bell, who has a balky shoulder, would be cleared to play. “I anticipate Kendrell coming back,” Vermeil said. “I’d like to see him get involved right now. I don’t control that. The medical people do. It’s just when they feel he’s ready and he feels he’s ready.” Rookie LB Kris Griffin was in Bell’s spot at right outside linebacker rather than Keyaron Fox.

[GreatBronco16]

Wow, and all this time I've been getting told that Bell is 90% ready.

What was the word on him? Did he fail his physical in Pitt? If so, does anyone have a link stating this?

[Bob's your Information Minister]

No. He also did not fail his physical in New York.

The Chiefs are just being cautious with him.

Q: How about Kendrell Bell? He practiced a little more today?

VERMEIL: “He was in the contact drills. He jumped into the goal line and short yardage work. Like I said, he needs just a few snaps a day to get the rust out.”

[gunns]

No. He also did not fail his physical in New York.

The Chiefs are just being cautious with him.

That's what I've been hearing for a month now from KC fans. Champ Bailey's been out for awhile. He's hurt. Get a clue Chiefs.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Is Bailey practicing?

Bell is participating in all the drills except 11 on 11, which he just started.

He's fine.

Pretty clear is practicing fully now. He will play this weekend.

He's not hurt.

Pretty clear?? One report is saying he is, the other is saying they are still holding him out of contact.

Also, where did you hear he was playing this weekend? Show us something boob.

[WaffleBoy]

Bust.

The Boy Wonder :super:

[Bronco9798]

He's not hurt.

He's not exactly healthy Bob. He's yet to play a game in pre-season. It's just a matter of time before he goes on IR.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

You guys are reaching. He will be there, pwning Plummer's weakside in week 3.

[Bronco9798]

I like this one.

Q: Is Trent hurt at all?

VERMEIL: “No, he had some numbness in his little toe.”

Who reports to the coach that they have numbness in their little toe to the coach? Why would you even mention it. HaHa. Gotta love the KC media and Vermeils press conferences.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Courtney Brown is an example of a player who is hurt. Kendrell Bell is not.

[GreatBronco16]

Courtney Brown is an example of a player who is hurt. Kendrell Bell is not.


No Bell isn't hurt. That's why he has been partaking in contact drills and played in both preseason games so far.

Wait...........

[Bob's your Information Minister]

This reminds me of Priest's first offseason coming back from his hip injury.

Keep on doubting folks. Kendrell Bell is not listed on the injury report.

There's a very good reason for that. He does not have an injury.

[orange crusher]

Bell is done. His shoulder will force him to retire. I think his knickname is "the Boz".

[TotallyScrewed]

Didn't Bells' back "lock-up" on him in the last month? I friend of mine (yeah KC fan, what ya gonna do???) said Bell has yet to participate in contact drills so today must be a first. He also said that he's not been in any preseason games and that it's likely that his shoulder is trashed. Sounds like the Star confirmed all that.

Bell is not a bust, he had a fine rookie season. He's just broken down and if somehow he gets on the field, given his hard-nosed style, he'll be back on the IR pretty quickly...KC was reaching, not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

That is complete speculation.

If Bell gets on the injury list following a game, I'll start to worry.

[sirhcyennek81]

Bailey would be practicing and playing if it were the regular season, while bell wouldnt be. thats the difference.

[GreatBronco16]

Got this one from a KC fan on another board.

Today I listened to a radio segment about Bell's situation, so maybe I can clear this up for you.

First of all, Bell has told everyone that he's 100% (not just 90) and is ready to go, and has been for some time.
Like we've been saying, the coaches have simply been cautious with him, just like they have with Gonzo/Will Shields/etc.

Bell has an arthritic condition that he's dealt with since college. He's played through it every year thus far, and will continue to. He will see action in the last two preseason games, and be ready for the opener on Sept. 11.




Now he's 100% but can't practice or take contact? hmmm...

[gunns]

Bob, is this you after a Chiefs loss???

[Taco John]

This all reminds me of when they signed Shaun Barber... They talked him up like he was the next coming of Ray Lewis, just like they are will Bell... Forget the fact that Shaun Barber hadn't put two good seasons in a row together. Bell had a great rookie year. Now he's more fragile than a box of baby chicks at hammer mill.

Good point. The Chiefs fans thought the 2003 defensive additions of Shaun Barber, Dexter McCleon and Vonnie Holliday would be the key pieces towards a Super Bowl run. At the time, none of them were even close to being in the top 25 percentile at their respective positions.

He has fully participated in 7-on-7 non-contact drills.

And he started 11-on-11's today, or yesterday, I forget which.

Don't worry, he'll be hurt by the 3rd game.

I'll take the under 8.5 games.

I thought it would be a fairly interesting race to see who got injured first this season between Bell and Courtney Brown. Unfortunately Brown got hurt before Vegas could even post the odds.

I am still trying to determine who was injured first though nap. Bell has yet to take contact drills until MAYBE yesterday. Players that are not hurt participate in those, unless your the KC _efensive FA star!

It is a tough call....much like trying to determine what is more fragile between 1/8 inch thick sheet of glass or 1/16th thick porcelain.

I think the over/under for total games played this season should be set at about 5.5. I think I am taking the under on both of them.

[orange crusher]

You will need a lot more than Bell to elevate that defense to the GOOD defense status.

[Crushaholic]

The big difference is that Courtney Brown is not much of a risk for us. If he doesn't work out, we have other options. The Chefs, on the other hand, need Bell, because they are way behind the curve on defense.

[bloodsunday]

Good point. The Chiefs fans thought the 2003 defensive additions of Shaun Barber, Dexter McCleon and Vonnie Holliday would be the key pieces towards a Super Bowl run. At the time, none of them were even close to being in the top 25 percentile at their respective positions.
That team was damn good though. If this team is anywhere close to that, we can kiss away any dreams of a division title.

When it is all said and done nobody is really going give a #u@& about the Donks finishing second in the division for the 4th consecutive year but that is not going to stop a bunch of people spending a bunch of time talking about it. There is no point in that either but that is the great thing about this country and that is we all have the freedom to talk about what we want whether it has a point or not. And because we have that freedom you actually don't speak for everyone on the Mane.

[Bronco9798]

OK Bob since this is a Bell Thread, lets move on to today. I see some waffling going on here with Vermeil:

Q: Do you think Kendrell Bell will get 20 snaps?

VERMEIL: “I don’t know yet. He may not get any snaps.”

Q: Oh, so he may not play?

VERMEIL: “He may not play.”

Q: Why? Was there a set-back today?

VERMEIL: “No. I don’t know if he’s ready yet to just turn it all loose.”

Q: You seemed more optimistic about it yesterday.

VERMEIL: “Yeah, because I liked what I saw on video tape. We just want to make sure he’s 100% ready in his own mind as well as physically.”

Q: Is there some doubt that Kendrell Bell won’t be ready for the opening game, or do you expect him to be out there?

VERMEIL: “I expect him to but we’re not going to put him out there unless he’s really ready. We brought him here to play and made a real commitment to him.”

Q: What do you need to see from him to be convinced that he’s 100% ready?

VERMEIL: “That he can play without favoring his old injury. As soon as we see that then we know he has confidence in it and go from there.”

Q: Has he re-injured anything since then?

VERMEIL: “No.”

Q: Do the doctors want him to be cautious; do you want him to be cautious?

VERMEIL: “I think a combination of everybody starting with us and Kendrell. A player knows when he’s really ready and when he’s not ready. Yesterday he jumped in there and he flashed around. You could see it. He has movement just like Derrick Johnson does and those guys are rare. But he showed some signs of not really wanting to use everything yet, just turn himself loose into the contact area. When we put him in the ballgame we want him to do that.”

Q: There was some question about his shoulder when you signed him – that it might not be 100%. Did he lead you on that it was and wouldn’t be a factor this year?

VERMEIL: “He passed our physical. Anyone who passes our physical I assume he’s going to be able to play.”

[Bob's your Information Minister]

I noticed you didn't show her face. Hmmm....

Only room for the boobs.
