[Captain Obvious]

Pounding the ball, looking for that break upfield while dodging or running over top athletes trying to take you down, is rather different from "running and cutting" in the park an hour before lunch--especially when deep in the 4th quarter, the game is on the line, and your calves and hands have been stamped on in pile after pile and your ankle has just been re-taped.  Where's the adrenaline when practicing alone? How can running through tires and bumping dummies provide the route timing needed to catch passes on the run, or wait for a block to develop and then hit the hole full burst?  How does your field vision develop in the gym?

Everyone who has played football or basketball or wrestled or ran track knows this. The intense competition pushes you to a different level.

Finally someone with some sense. If just running and cutting by yourself, gets you into football shape like Brad thinks, team practices wouldn't be as important. Most everyone that's already proved their worth would just skip all preseason games and stay at home and start running and cutting by themselves.

Then claim it was injury that held him back all along and start networking his buddies to find new team willing to go all in on a RB.

Yes this is what I hate about it. I bet he does something like that. He really doesn't have to prove anything because he's a game changing back. He's very important to a team, but he's also a prima donna that's a cancer to the lockerroom if he doesn't get hs own way. All the GM's and team owners knows Bell is just a "missed" drug test  away from a year's suspension and is a year older and his knees aren't that great. He should be good for a few years at least as long as he doesn't get caught with drugs. I will hate to see him go, but he's asking for too much money.
