Not sure when I said the line makes Bell look good, but feel free to fill me in.
You bet. Always willing to help catch you up. You attributed Bell's cut backs to the work of the line. See the bold below.

Either the line has an easy time of it because Bell's running is great, or Bell's Running is effective because of the work of the line. You've implied both. Which is it?
