Any news on BB

So far all I've heard is "learning disability" and "problems picking up the defense" so if those are true *does the empire chainsaw move* he's outta here!
Seriously, though, if he's healthy he might be a decent backup and special teamer.
I just no longer see him as a fit here.

Probably not going to a Evelyn Woods center a few days a week.

According to the OBR, Bell isn't playing with the first or second team defense. Sounds like he's on the outside looking in.

The guy was never going to contribute.
I hope he has saved a few bucks so he has a good head start as he seeks his career outside of football.

bell's a fourth-round draft pick of the old regime. expecting him to contribute is like expecting hubbard to contribute. they're both essentially camp bodies at this point.

Don't really know how you can say that...being that he was a rook under Rac, and hurt....???? He will play in the Nfl....maybe just not with a head coach that demands "smart" apptitude and quick study!

Hubbard has been mentioned a few times thus far, he caught 2 td passes I believe, and a long one from Quinn
i'd love it if hubbard would develop into a reliable receiver, but catching the ball is the most important skill a receiver can have, and hubbard's hands are nothing if not inconsistent.
it's not to say that he won't learn to catch, just that the odds are against him. track guys learning to play football don't often pan out all that well. you've got to be a football player or have a comparable skill set (antonio gates) instead of just being able to run fast and jump high.
the biggest thing in his favor is that he hasn't been playing football that long, so it's possible he has the innate ability to block out everything but the football and hold on to it, but it's far likelier that he's another in a string of guys who have the physical tools to get separation but don't have the hands or concentration to reel in the catch, like michael jackson/dyson, troy williamson, yamon figurs, bethel johnson and a litany of other busts.

My man Glue Hands Hubbard is a stud in the making. Another ten years of development and he'll be a Catch 22 type of player.
That means if you throw him 100 passes, he'll catch 22.

I can't imagine Beau Bell being in these guys plans in the least. Only way would be if he just is devastating in camp and they can't possibly ignore him. He doesn't fit the cerebral type of player mold.

Sounds like he's on the outside looking in.Bell was working behind Jackson and was working with the first group on special teams. Knee seems to be fine. He just may be on the bubble because we have so many guys that can play multiple positions, which Mangini likes. They are going to keep just so many guys that can play ILB and it's tougher if that's your only position.
He seemed up on the defensive schemes they were running. I don't think the problem is intellegence. It's just that he is one dimensional. Might come down to him or Leon Williams.
I would guess that if he is going to make the team he is going to have to show them that he is a big time hitter once the pads go on.

I'll take him over Leon in a heartbeat, whether he sucks or not.

I'm not counting out Paul Hubbard. He's got the stuff you can't teach -- size, speed, natural athleticism, leaping ability -- and he seems to be learning the stuff you can teach, like running routes and catching the ball.i'd just argue that catching the ball, particularly in traffic or with a DB draped all over you, is something that's intrinsic, innate, inherent, and not a learned skill. there's a level of concentration that some guys have and some guys don't; it's what separates consistent receivers that every team wants, who always have success and who play the majority of their careers for a single team from guys who bounce around the league every two years as fourth or fifth receivers.
it's why we drafted robiskie. he doesn't have the most impressive physical tools, but he's got just enough, and he's also got great hands to compliment those tools, which will make him a dependable receiver.

In my opinion Maiava's got Bell's number, figuratively of course.
Bell was playing ahead of Maiava, but then again the pads haven't even come on and Maiava isn't signed yet either. With Veikune and Bowens able to play inside and outside I'd have to think they aren't going to keep Maiave, Bell and Williams. I did read somewhere that Williams was going to be used as a backup OLB, pass rush specialist also. Plus, you have Bo Rudd, David Hollaway, Titus Brown and a few UDFAs.
When the pads go on someone is going to have to step up because there are too many bodies there.
