Markquese Bell is a guy that I think they have some vision for

[big dog cowboy]

Might give us a clue how the Cowboys will be approaching FA and the draft.



@nickeatman with a little insight on Shan & RJ about a #Cowboys player who could have a bigger role in Christian Parker’s defense:

“…You wonder about the versatility of some of these players. The name that I’ve been told twice in the building was Markquese Bell is a guy that I think they have some vision for…”

Eatman said that “tweeners” might be more important in a defense like this, which asks some players to play in multiple spots.

Remember—Dallas gave Bell a three-year deal last offseason.

And it starts......

 

[Carson]

No no no.

Move on from everyone on this defense outside of Eze, Osa, Williams, Clark, Overshown.

He is not good. Too small to play linebacker and too slow to play safety

 

[stilltheguru]

No. He's mid

 

[darthseinfeld]

No. He's mid

Come on man, you haven't even seen him once he get sprinkled with Christian Parker Dust.

 

[darthseinfeld]

No. He's mid

And I would say "mid" is very generous

 

[stilltheguru]

And I would say "mid" is very generous

Yea he's another low confidence secondary player. I have no use for Bell personally.

Bell’s second half

	LV	PHI	KC	DET	MIN	SD	WAS	NY
Bell	59	44	73	30	64	83	66	60

60 is considered average.

 

[Zekeats]

No no no.

Osa is trash!!!!!!! Clark is a JAG and EZE is well overrated, a Osa of DEs. I agree with the Bell observations.

I think they need to move him back into the nickel/dime linebacker role they had him in under Quinn. Unfortunately, Quinn made him a full-time linebacker when we lost LVE and Bell wasn't up to that challenge, but he showed ability when given that underneath role where he could be used as a run defender and underneath cover man.

Ran a 4.41 at the combine which was the fastest time of any safety in 2022.

I agree. I think there’s something there with him.

Respectfully Quinn got some good play out of him.

 

[Zekeats]

He's a very good backup/Special Teamer. As a starter he is below a JAG

reacts slow so does not matter

At LB

Exactly....here are his stats
Call it whatever but he was a consistent and reliable contributor in 2023. Remember Love comments to Parsons after the GB embarrassment.....we had a safety playing LBer. Since 2023 it's like Zimm couldn't find a role for him and Eberflus didn't care. I def think he can help .....the closer he plays to the LOS the better.

There's combine speed and game speed. Bell doesn't play like a 4.4 guy, hell, Dez who ran a 4.52 at the combine played a lot faster than Bell. My thought is he's a guy that's better closer to the line of scrimmage and running downhill, similar to Donovan Wilson. Just not fast enough in space.
