Baldinger did a breakdown on Bell from the Jags game I believe. Dude was in the box most of the time anyways, don’t think it’ll be a huge adjustment.
Exactly, not a stretch for Bell to play LB.

Right. He already was the backup to Kearse, who plays that linebacker/safety hybrid. Wilson played it some in place of Kearse, too. So they have a few players for the role. I wouldn't expect to see Bell out there in the regular season except in spot play unless something happens to Kearse, Clark or LVE. Those guys were always going to be our primary linebackers this season, along with Parsons when he lines up there. The concern, of course, is depth, with Overshown going down, our options if one gets hurt are Cox, Harper or Jefferson. I'm not sure we're too excited about those possibilities.

Hugely different to navigate through traffic between the tackles though.

Likely, this is just a depth move to make it easier to give him a roster space. I really doubt we're going to see any of him at LB in base nickel packages or anything like that.

Many of us called this the minute agent 0 was ruled out for the year. We nailed it.

I'll say this, Bell better be what we had hoped or this might prove to be an Achilles heel for us
