"Look Ma, no hands", former 49ers WR Ronnie Bell Thread | Page 61

There was one play last night where Brock and Bell rolled out to the right, Brock looked like he wanted to run but was surrounded by two Cowboys and it was tipped and almost intercepted. Brock was visibly angry with that play and I think it was Bell not looking back for a pass? Bell may have thought it was a scramble and started blocking as opposed to looking for the pass so Brock had nowhere to go with the ball. Did you see it that way?

Here is what I thought. I thought that Purdy chose to run but noticed the running lane was closing. Then he looked to Bell for what would have been an easy completion/first down if Bell turned his head around to look back at Brock. Instead, he remained looking at the guy he was "blocking" but the Cowboy player had his back to Brock. Then a second or so later, Brock tried to force a pass, which was his worst play of the game IMO.

I thought he was going to fumble the downed ball on the punt then the cowboy returner somehow returns it for a TD.

If they aren't going to cut him then they should try him out at safety or corner back. I've never seen so many batted down balls from a wide receiver. They should go with it.

I assume they want to sign him to the PS but it wouldn't shock me if he's claimed. He had some flashes here and there but he's about what you expect out of a 7th rounder. Think we can do better, especially for STs.

Should have been done 6 weeks ago, I really like Ronnie, but multiple mistakes when you haven't done anything is unacceptable
